Another marathon, another flood of injuries, another round of warnings from medical professionals about running being bad for the knees and another year of training in the exact same way. Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore—it’s the same story. There is no denying that running is a favoured activity of the urban Indian. I can add ‘middle-aged’ to that. If you are not part of a running group, you are not cool. Peer pressure, lifestyle guilt, need for a social life, and for a small minority, the love for running. Whatever your reason, now that you have decided to run, do justice to your choice.
