Pravin Varma Running vs Jogging

The folks at Pearl Izumi have this rather harsh take on the old jogging vs running debate http://www.wearenotjoggers.com/home. I do believe I am a runner .Afterall it is the attitude rather than the speed that determines if you are only 'locomoting at a slightly accelerated pace' or actually Running. ps: Those who listen to music while running: beware you wont like what you read.

The run was ok. But it was very humid. Was sweating more than usual. Continue

Shumit European Friend, 30 km in the Marathon and Smile Catalysts

An exotic European girl whose name is hard to pronounce (that makes her even more attractive), asked me yesterday " What do you have to offer to the world of women?". She said a few nice things that made me happy and persuaded to analyze this. I could not help laughing and I still continue to crack up but I was also thinking about it at the back of my head. The answer might require a few years of penance in the Himalayas and still I might not be able to come up with an appropriate answer. I am u… Continue

Gautam Mahtani Week 1 Day 1 & 2

Started following the Hal Higdon 18-week training to a Marathon. Following the Novice 1 plan. Am pretty gung-ho about it. I hope the Bangalore Marathon guys don't change the date.

Day 2 today. 3 mile run. was 2 1/2 minutes slower than what i used to do. But am trying to run at a pace that i can hold over long… Continue

Satyajeet Prasad Sunfeast World 10k Bangalore

I ran this race in Bangalore and as always ran way below my potential :). Thanks to the late nights at Asclepius and complete stop to running for 2 weeks :)). It was almost impossible to get up in the morning after sleeping at 2 the previous night. Neither was it easy to come back after the race and head to the office on Sunday afternoon :) I finished with a rank of somewhere between 170 - 180 amongst 1500 runners. I dont have an official time as something was wrong with my chip and they have n… Continue
