Strength from Satara 2014

September 21, 2014November 14, 2014 Parul

There are exactly 4 months to SCMM 2015. And 2 months (8 weeeks) to the Delhi Half Marathon. It will be a long 4 months. Grueling. Hard. To go into the 16 weeks of marathon training with a good base is extremely crucial. Over the last month I have done between 50-55km on hills as […]

The longest Half Marathon I have ever run!

August 24, 2014November 14, 2014 Parul

An Oxymoron yes, but ask any runner and they will tell you how they breezed through that easy 27k on a particular day but struggled through a tough 15k on a hot day,  a tough route or just-with no apparent reason. The 4k uphill in Satara will be my toughest challenge yet. In preparation for […]

Phoenix Rising

May 18, 2014November 14, 2014 Parul

Running in this insane heat was test of grit, I think. Humidity was overwhelming. The sun was intimidating. The Distance, daunting. I did only a 12k, but was completely finished by the time I was done. When I returned, and was stretching at NCPA, waiting for the others to show up, I heard that they […]

Understanding Frailty

May 16, 2014November 14, 2014 Parul

Day 2: 6.15 am Srinagar I laced up my shoes, put on my sweatshirt and waited my friend Harish. He’s not much of a runner, but was sweet enough to escort me. Both of us headed out, towards Dal Lake. The Boulevard curved invitingly. Surrounding us were the Greater Himalayas- snowcapped and rugged in their majesty. The […]

this is why i run…

March 9, 2014November 14, 2014 Parul

I went for a short run yesterday. Haven’t run much all of last month due to various reasons. But I woke up early, so I put on my shoes and just headed out, leaving behind all bag and baggage. When I returned I was a new person. My entire demeanor had changed, all the jumbles […]

Why do we Race?

February 16, 2014November 14, 2014 Parul

The lull after the storm. Post marathon we rest our body. We recover from the aches and pains. We gloat over our completion. We give our mind a break. Running a race takes a toll on the brain and the body. This period of recovery is essential in order to prevent a burnout. As Savio says that […]

42@42

January 20, 2014November 14, 2014 Parul

Saturday : 21 hours to Raceday I woke up with a catch in my back, which only gets aggravated during the day. As I obsess over it, it grows, then disappears only to reappear again! By evening it appeared to have subsided after a small massage. It was time for a sustained release pain killer. […]
