No one likes a moaning minnie, so I’ll skip the appeals for sympathy and cut to the chase. After MONTHS – sorry, didn’t mean to shout – months of a tedious hamstring strain, I think perhaps-just-about-maybe that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. I ran the slowest half …
Feel like a bit of Monday motivation? A metaphorical kick in the rear to get you off the couch? Good, because that’s exactly what I’ve got lined up for you today. You know me – always happy to help! Here goes. We all know Sir Rod Stewart the rock star, …
Lats night Delhi had the mother of all storms. Sudden, violent and for those poor souls who were killed by falling poles, ulimately tragic. Crazy winds, hailstones and then rain. Once we’d battened down the hatches (we have a broken window in the stairwell, so that was a bit hairy…) …
I know, I know, this is a running blog, and that I’m supposed to be a runner but… Life happens. Niggles happen. And since my stupid left hamstring is proving to be a very stubborn niggle and not healing, running is off the cards for the moment. But I’m still …

We all know who was the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes. Roger Bannister. It’s one of those facts that one just knows. And yet…this absolutely outstanding account of the quest to break the 4 minute barrier, “The Perfect Mile”, has you on tenterhooks the whole …
Those of you in the Delhi running/fitness space who know me, will also know that I am a diehard fan of Dr. Rajat Chauhan, the man who got me running. Doc is not only am accomplished runner himself, but he is a sports doctor, whose physio clinic in south Delhi …
Actually, this is, once again, a misleading blog title, because I am STILL NOT BACK TO RUNNING. Whoops, apologies for shouting. But I am SO bored by my own hamstring niggles (so I can only imagine how bored you must be!) but the wretched thing is still acting up… …plus …
Dunno why I even bothered to put “run” in the blog title, to be honest. After the fiasco of my last half marathon 2 weeks ago, when my left hamstring decided to act up, I have hardly run, have done lots of physio and am reduced to walking. (Not that …
I met many lovely people this morning during the course of my half marathon through the streets of Delhi. So many kind greetings, and “Well done” and “Keep it up”, mostly from strangers. Every time I race, I am blown away by the kindness of strangers, wishing each other well, …
