My road to 26.2 miles – Week 1
From this point on, I have exactly 8 weeks to prepare for my full marathon at The Tata Mumbai Marathon on 20th January 2019. It’s going to be very tough and a challenge in every sense, since I was busy with exams and haven’t trained for a single day since October. Running itself has been …

What To Eat And Drink Before A Run
What you eat before, during, and after you run can make or break your training. Eat too little and you’ll bonk—that is, run out of energy to finish your run.

How To Reboot Your New Year Resolutions!
We've all been there. Made resolutions that were unrealistic or just not motivating enough; and we've learnt from these mistakes and refined our resolutions BUT not mid-year, we just procrastinate it to the next year. Most resolutions are either aimed towards self-improvement and self-development or aimed at just making certain changes. I bet many of …
