One of the first things I do, on waking up every morning, is to check the air quality index, which I often share on social media, on my running Insta feed, like so : For those of you who don’t know me, I live in New Delhi, which has the …
I’ve waited a week before sitting down to write my review of last Sunday’s IDBI Federal Life New Delhi Marathon. I’ve pretty much recovered from my marathon, I’ve even raced again – a 5k & a PB yesterday, oh joy of joys! – but all through the last week I’ve …
