My God, but the world of Indoor Running During A Global Pandemic is a highly competitive, unforgiving place. No sooner have I shared the amazing story of one of my friends who ran a full marathon indoors, than his record is shattered! š Toppled! š Trampled upon! š Pause for …
Here in India, we are all under lockdown. And suddenly, the ability to lace up and head out to run has become very precious. On Instagram, for example, I am avidly & enviously watching the daily posts from a British runner who can still take to the woods and river …
Let me confess. In these very strange, very worrying Coronavirus times I am a) blown away by all these people on social media who are running half marathons inside their homes and b) am enjoying getting to know my running mates “differently”, if that makes sense. Yeah, you’re right – …
Yesterday, as most of us here in India were indoors, following “People’s Curfew”, I shared the half marathon run by one of my running mates – inside his flat. Gaurav was not the only one running round and round and round his home – meet my friend Mahendra Bisht, who …

This guest post from the one and only Sanjeev Chhabra is an extraordinary account of a comeback to running, & what a comeback! Sanjeev donated a kidney 3 months before his half, so the physical and mental recovery involved is truly impressive. His story is also very funny. Thanks, Sanjeev, …
Iām slowly recovering from injury – torn meniscus in my left knee – and am not yet running, but I am walking. Hence the change in the title of this blog. (Did you notice?! Go on, admit it, bet you didn’t!) So, yes, this afternoon I went for a slow, …
Said it before, saying it again. Runners are THE best. My friend Sneh Wadhwaney, who was our guest blogger on New Year’s Day, just ran her personal best in yesterday’s Tata Mumbai Marathon, clocking a smashing time of 2:08 in the half marathon. Super congrats, my girl, and well done …
