@shrayasr @nigelbabu Noted. Have a great trip! I shall hound you after the 15th (though I hope I don’t have to). :p
Where you headed, btw?
@beanbuffs No idea, but those guys had one or two videos online.
@shrayasr @nigelbabu Yay! In the flow of this thread, pitch in please? :p j.mp/sdg4msf
TedMielczarek Marathon training feels like being in an abusive relationship with yourself.
@nigelbabu Yeah, and that cannot be avoided unless the road is the dustbin.
@nigelbabu Yup, that’s all I meant. I have seen runners throw cans and bottles at @RTRDholavira. Simply saddening.
@nigelbabu I am very sure about this now. It simply won’t. The onus has to stay with runners rather than passing it to organisers.
@nigelbabu What if you get faster and shoot 500m before finishing your bottle?
@shrayasr @nigelbabu Yes! Do both ADHM and SCMM. They’re a grand stage for runners that takes you through the heart of the two cities.
@nigelbabu It will not help. Runners need to learn how to carry their own trash until the next bin (could be as far as the next aid station)
@shrayasr @nigelbabu The biggest thing these events achieve is bringing the city together. Witnessed that in SCMM and wish Delhi catches up.
@shrayasr @nigelbabu Many of us feel that events like ADHM are offering us a “service” and compare it to community events. That is unfair.
@shrayasr @nigelbabu Organising at scale is a challenge. ADHM aid stations aren’t as stocked as RFL. But it has a different charm + energy.
@shrayasr @nigelbabu But what exactly do you mean by commercial? The event is big, has big sponsors, celebrities but they don’t charge much.
@shrayasr About 10-12k people running the half marathon. The size if the event is simply humbling. Right after @runscmm. @nigelbabu
