As a parent, this is actually the sort of advice I should mete out to my own children, but since they are all grown up & sensible, perhaps I should rather advise myself 😛 This song makes me happy – though the beat is disconcertingly fast to try and run to – …
First watch the track of this great Bollywood song and then I’ll tell you why it’s on my playlist – not that such a catchy song really needs any explanation, to be honest! This is from the film Dil Dhadakne Do and has been played at just about every wedding I’ve …
Sometimes Monday mornings aren’t all bad. After a bit of a private meltdown about the half marathon I am due to run this coming weekend, lo & behold, totally out of the blue, I get a message from my son Hari who lives in Shanghai, with a link to a …
It’s not just that the line “I ain’t nothing but tired, man I’m just tired” resonates with me of late, but this classic Springsteen song is great to run along to and sing-along-out-loud-to (yes, indeed, #ihavenofriends #wonderwhy 😛 ) Here, take a little listen: bpm = 149. This track …
Just scared myself silly by checking out the website for ADHM. I KNOW it’s only 8 days away, but seeing that date with destiny written down formally, scared the bejeezus out of me. Totally and utterly unprepared does not even begin to describe things. So, instead of doing some useful …

For all you Delhi (& India)-based runners, it’s serious countdown time, folks. Today is October 20th. ADHM (the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon) is on November 20th. You don’t need me to do the maths… 😛 So, as we all ratchet up the running (or, in my case, ratchet up the …
Of course it is! What’s not to love about a jolly uplifting song like this, ideal for me to sing along to, as I pound the pavements (#Ihavenofriends) Here, listen to an extract and then tell me it’s not super catchy and great to run along to? bpm = 140 …
