Confusion about running in air-pollution?
Recently air quality in Delhi was really bad. Around the corner was the most iconic running event of North India. Even now its the best that it's been in last 45 days but is still poor. Here is a 60 second presentation that'll help you think even more. About more.
Runners in the eye of ‘air pollution’ storm
Air Pollution could be a blessing in disguise. Along with rights come duties. We runners are in the eye of the 'air-pollution' storm. Lets act more responsibly than we possibly have ever done. We would have changed the future for ourselves and our loved ones.
Pacing in Racing
Pacing is very important. Just that most never learn how to do it. If you get it right, you’ve really cracked what most haven’t been able to. You'll become a far better runner.
Air Pollution and running
The running season is on but air quality in Delhi NCR is being said to be 'very unhealthy' to exert outdoors. Should you be exercising and running out doors? What about all those masks people are running around in?

Running: Losing My Religion
I've firmly believed that running gives you an even playing ground, which strips all of their social status and financial standing. It brings to surface the true character of the individual. It's because of that it's given me the best of friends and introduced me to some awesome folks out there.
4hr Full & 2hr Half Marathon plan: WEEK 22
This is a 4hr full and 2hr half marathon plan for a marathon in 3 weeks time. This week the intent is to do the last long run. At all times remember to stay soft on your feet and try to keep your running as effortless as you possibly can.
4 hr full & 2 hr half marathon plan: week 21
This is week 21 of a 4hr full and 2hr half marathon plan. No, it's not supposed to be easy. I'll push you hard to get to your time but remember that you aren't a product of an assembly line and you aren't in a rat race. At the end of the day if you aren't smiling and miling at the same time, you are missing out on something big.
Week 19 Full Marathon Plan: Sub 4hr
Majority of humans are capable of doing a marathon in under 4 hrs, just that they don't believe they can. Start with wanting to. Soon you will.
This is a sub 4 hr full marathon training plan targeting New Delhi Marathon (NDM) which is on 26th Feb. This plan is really for those who’ve managed to do half marathon in last couple of months in under 2 hours and full marathon distance in last few weeks in sub 4 hours 15 min.
Last week (18) plan before Mumbai Marathon
Mumbai marathon is only 4-5 days away now. You need to take it very easy during these few days before the race. Even if you are not doing it and training for New Delhi Marathon, which is in 7 weeks time, take this week easy.
What you can very easily do in the last week before the marathon in your eagerness to train, is injure yourself. If you haven’t trained enough, please don’t risk a permanent injury. It might be better not to run. Think long term, not just about this one race.
