hi Priyadarshini ..
whats the place in Bandra that you are talking about ?


I stay in Santacruz, but any other running place closer than bandra would be too much to expect .. or is it ?

am tired of the treadmill :)

I moved to Mumbai a few months ago from Bangalore, and am looking to resume running here. I stay in Goregaon (E), inside Aarey Colony, and am looking for running partners inside or around Aarey. Anyone nearby interested?

There's this stretch of a Mile behind Inorbit... Malad. It stinks however.

But the best places are Aarey MIlk Coloney.. (i know that a lot of people are already running there) , Bandra... Marine Drive.. And Borivli National Park!

Running insidethe Inorbit Park is a good idea but for a marathon training it is not enough. The road outside Inorbit Park is a good place to run, quiet in the mornings, not much vehicular traffic, though you've got to be careful of some reckless drivers (call centres nearby). I run there every alternate day.

I am running with RFL for last 1 year. I am based in Bangalore now and will soon be moving to Mumbai. Looking forward to join the gang in Mumbai.

Hey Satyajeet! Alas, I'm usually having to run on treadmills too. But i live in this place called Mahindra Gardens -where I have a jogging track. I have to loop around it a few times to have a fairly decent run but it's better than not having anything at all.
There's this place behind Inorbit - where they have a park .. I've run on that stretch one time and it's exactly a mile from one end to the other! You might want to try that out!

Ashwin! I'm SO excited that you're doing the Chi Running! It's truly miraculous. I've started doing that too and it's incredible how it can affect your timings and your ease of running. It's weird, but I've never really trained for a marathon - I had to train for the 100 miler right away! Where the 3rd was a Marathon - The Mt. Everest Marathon Challenge. I guess training for marathons and training for longer distances require very different techniques. Albeit, I'm sure after a while - training for longer distances help you run marathons as well.
Every magazine or website has their own plan for running... But you know what? To each his own. You';re the only one who knows what you can do. So it's always good to look into yourself, and use your own performance to chalk out a running schedule.

Hi P'darshini. ref to yr post to me on the 17th, i run approx 30 to 40k a month, no marathons yet, half M time 2:13, trying for the marathon in jan 09. humble beginnings.
followed the runnersworld training plan..fed in my half M time and they reccomended a plan. Didnt succeed. Their plan had a max of 24K before the actual 42 attempt. I dont think that was right. Right now my plan is a spped interval session every tue, tempo thu and long on sunday...will do steady 21 to 25k every sunday till body stabilises then go on spiking it upwards 10 to 15% and then as zico suggests graduate to the 32/35k levels...and then the 42..gradual progression...i practice the chi running form....very helpful for knees...now am free of all pains and fears of pains too!!
