And the London Marathon is…

And the London Marathon is…
Race reports / Run the world August 7, 2020 August 7, 2020 Leave a comment

…sort of cancelled. Like so: “Will not take place in its usual format” is, it turns out, a bit of an understatement. There will only be 30-40 elites who will not run the normal race route but will instead run loops in a biosecure bubble – jeez, this new normal …

London 2020? Yes? No?

London 2020? Yes? No?
Race reports / Run the world July 28, 2020 July 28, 2020 3 Comments

As if training for a marathon were not stressful enough already, the poor runners who are still hoping against hope that the London Marathon will take place, have now got to wait a further 2 weeks till they find out – yes? or no? This prestigious race should’ve taken place …

Will it be 3rd time lucky for the Paris Marathon?

So the Paris Marathon has been rescheduled for a second time. The race, originally planned for April, was postponed until October, but the organisers have now announced a new date of 15 November. It will be a totally different running experience, for so many reasons – not least the weather. …

Chicago…Manchester…

11 October 2020 should’ve been a big day in the running calendar, with both Chicago & the postponed Manchester marathons taking place. But, sadly & perhaps unsurprisingly, both have been cancelled this week. 2 more big marathons bite the dust. London is now the only “major” race left standing this …

Sadly, now it’s the turn of September’s Ladakh Marathon to be cancelled, due to this wretched Covid-19 pandemic. Here’s the official announcement, & the link to the website: Interestingly, the 2 ultra events haven’t yet been cancelled – so let’s hope they, at least, might still be able to take …

The Boston Marathon goes virtual

The Boston Marathon goes virtual
Race reports / Run the world May 29, 2020 May 29, 2020 Leave a comment

Yet another race has been cancelled due to this vile Coronavirus. The uber-prestigious Boston Marathon, already postponed from April 2020 to September 2020, has now been cancelled, and will become instead a virtual event. This is the first time in the race’s 124 year history that it has been cancelled, …

The strange case of Mexico’s chocolate runners

The strange case of Mexico’s chocolate runners
Race reports / Run chat / Run the world August 30, 2019 May 7, 2020 2 Comments

My resolutely non-running hubby sent me a link to an article in The Economist. It makes fascinating but quite bizarre reading. Apparently there is an extraordinarily high percentage of cheating in the Mexico City marathon. So much so, that there is a delightful expression for the fake runners of this …

One of my running friends, Nischint Katoch is running a mad, crazy, insane race next month. And I am in TOTAL awe of him. I am in awe of his dedication. And I am in complete awe of his training which he documents on social media. I’ve talked here in …

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 …
