hi.. thanks for the tip.. and sorry for the delayed reply...

now i'm doing the base running.. 5kms on week days and 10 on weekends.. feeling good.. and couldnt find any running events in my nearby places.. and i dropped the nainital plan.. think it would be alil too much at this stage.. and looking forward to bangalore 10k.. hopefully we can meet there..

do u use any gps device.. i use my android phone for tracking.. its kinda cool.. i have a plan to buy a garmin gps watch.. 405 or something.. any suggestions...?

hi.. i also run 3-4 times a week..till kolkata race i had a schedule.. now running 5 kms.. dont know how to train if not practicing for a race.. then one thing i wanted to ask is about Tiger-Corbett marathon.. its on 7th april at nainital.. do u have any plan to participate.. actually i'm desperate to run a half marathon..!! the main concern for me is the altitude.. nainital is 2000 mts above sea level.. i practice in agartala which is 13 mts above sea level.. would that make huge difference..? what u think..? otherwise timing and everything is suitable for me..

really appreciate ur suggestions..

Hi John,

As discussed, 15th May has been fixed as the date for our LONG RUN from Siliguri to Pedong. I've posted the discussion and you will see the other details in the link below.

Request you to suggest us a good hotel in Siligur. Hope you'll be able to join us for this run.

Hi John,

I'm a first year MBA student at IIM Calcutta from Bangalore. Being an avid runner I was part of the Nike Run Club in Bangalore and have also participated in quite a few runs including the Kaveri Trail Marathon 2009 (21 Kms). We at IIM Calcutta are planning to organize a long distance run in Kolkata as a part of our institute's golden jubilee celebrations. Unfortunately we do not have access to any run clubs here in Kolkata due to which we are facing difficulties in carrying forward our plan. I kindly request you to provide us with some contacts here in Kolkata who would be able to provide us with the relevant info.

 

Thanks

Hi John, That is difficult , to start slowly all over again anyway "rest" is the best doctor. I know you'll come back strong after recovering. ..one step back to move 2 steps ahead .
btw, I think i should mention it here mayve it'll help you ..there is a back-clinic by dr Garima abt which we receiving feedback ras an excellent ehabilitation clinic for sports injury.
If you desire , I can put you up with Bijay Nair and Mr Venkat who are my good runner friends and have undergone treatment there.
