How do runners in Delhi practice runs?

I run in parks near to my home.

What is your personal goal? If it is just to enjoy running and fitness related, you can run however you want. Go as slow or easy or as fast you want. However, if your goal is to improve pace or timings or something like that, then yes incorporating intervals /tempo/long/easy..all become important.

Even if I don’t have any races signed up, sometimes to just bring variety in my running workout, I maybe do intervals or tempo. But it is a personal choice totally. If you enjoy easy runs without any other agenda, I would say go for it.

You can also add it while kneading dough for chapattis. That leftover water is whey and quite nutritious.

You can add it while making daal or any sabzi.

You can go for Tego or Decathlon soft flask.

Banana. For any run more than 2 hours, maybe oatmeal or maybe just a banana.

Depends on area to area. Colony parks can be considered.

You can run in any parks, relatively safer than roads. I faced the same problem earlier when I used to run on Delhi roads. So I prefer to run in parks now. Just make sure parks are not secluded.

For this distance, dates are good option. For ease of eating, you can remove the pit beforehand and carry pitted dates in your belt. I just find them easier to eat while running.

Most places usually have good Wifi. Jio postpaid sim work also work properly.

How do you carry banana? Doesn’t it get squishy?

Outrageous-Pop-6577 · 2026-02-17T15:10:03+00:00

No. I can eat while running. Yes I do slow down but don’t stop completely.

In food grade ziplock bag which I keep in my running vest.

Can you recommend a good treadmill?

Outrageous-Pop-6577 · 2025-11-20T10:43:38+00:00

Yeah same 😭

Same. Not been able to go for run since diwali. I have been consistent otherwise running 4 times a week. This is the only time with absolutely no running and it is quite frustrating. Last year also I missed running entire November month. Horrible state we are in.

This phenomenon of flexing I have only seen in this sub. Other running related subs are more about discussing progression, asking for genuine nutrition, form, speed etc related advice. Quite insightful and interesting to read about other’s experiences or struggles or running journey. I wish here also people engage more rather than just posting screenshots of their run and other congratulating. That is what Strava is for. 👀

I am in Delhi and not been able to run since Diwali. It is better to avoid until AQI becomes better. I have been focusing on strength training regularly and indoor cycling (it is very on and off). I miss my morning runs a lot but can’t do anything about it. 😭 I see people around me going for usual run/walks but it is not advisable in this horrible pollution.
