Tough-sounding words this hot & humid morning from our Coach, as we met for our regular Tuesday ASICS Running Club session. But actually it wasn’t half as strict as it sounds 😛 Coach had just demonstrated a new drill – sideways walking lunges – and we all groaned when we …
As I trotted my way slowly down Raj Path this morning, I heard a familiar voice greeting me. “Hello auntie” came the cheerful greeting from a man I’ve talked about before. He’s clearly some kind of a vagabond, who lives on Raj Path, but he’s always super cheerful and we …
This whole running thing just doesn’t stop, does it? When I started running in September 2013, as a bucket list thingy, I never, ever expected that it would lead me in so many different directions. And I’m not talking running routes here. I’m talking metaphorically. From thinking that just the …
Today’s gem from Coach Vijay Shukla. He’d called on me to demonstrate a drill – high knees – to the group, and I was trying to get out of it, saying I couldn’t lift my knees that high. Quick as a flash came the reply,”If you have knees, you can …
Get to bed just before midnight. Alarm goes at 4.45. E-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d doesn’t even come close to describing how I felt. But having skipped yesterday’s ASICS Running Club informal run, and spent all day regretting it, there was no way I was missing this morning’s run in Nehru Park. Best decision …
Today one of my ASICS Running Club members, the ever cheerful Abhay Kohli, is our guest blogger. Let me give you some quick background.

Welcome to our world 🙂 The ASICS Running Club world, that is, where our coach & trainer, the cool, calm & collected Vijay Shukla, is a firm believer in the school of tough love. Because, make no mistake, this morning was hot & oh-so-humid, but Coach was having none of …
Jeepers creepers but it was hot and humid this Saturday morning, as I was reunited with my ASICS Running Club tribe.  It’s a miracle they let me back, the way I’ve been missing sessions… 😛 We met in Nehru Park, our regular Saturday morning hangout, and did another tough session …
Today I hand the reins of this blog over to one of my fellow ASICS Running Club members, the gentle and always smiling Dr Balbir S Gandhi. When I saw photos on our Whatsapp group of a few of my (sweaty 😛 ) tribe members who had run together this morning, …
This morning, despite the heat even at 5.30am, I went for a long run with some of my ASICS Running Club friends, and what a run it was. I am under no illusions about my running ability. I can run, but not that fast, and the brutal fact of the …
