Why are there so many D2C socks startups in India? Bombarded by🧦ads. I wonder how do they all make money? High margins, low barrier to entry, or just hype? What am I missing?.

why you should never ask training advice from an elite on Strava. Lol.

What a disgrace to marathon running!.
The AIU has provisionally suspended Ruth Chepng'etich (Kenya) for the Presence and Use of a Prohibited Substance (Hydrochlorothiazide). Details here:

Last week was a recovery week and also was on a work related travel. So could only manage 2 days of running. Mean while Strava AI.

Two Bengaluru races this weekend. Chaos all over. At Run for Blue, runners had to dodge traffic. At Bengaluru Let’s Run event, they have to buy their own water. Runners deserve better.

There is a new running circuit in India, and this time for trail runners - SITG. This is exciting.

Telling a cyclist friend about carbon-plated running shoes and how expensive they are. He smiled and said, “Nice! Got myself carbon wheels for just ₹90,000.”.Suddenly, running feels like a budget sport.

Opinion: Pegasus line-up is super confusing. Search for Pegasus on shows 168 results. All are daily trainers - Pegasus, Pegasus Plus, and Pegasus Premium making too difficult pick-up one. With 3 more added, It will be even funnier next year. #shoegeeks

Raced 'Bengaluru 10K Challenge' for the first time. The plan was to run ~42 min, but the hills have other ideas. Got humbled and finished 43:24. This wraps up the 10K season. Now time to shift gears and build toward the longer distances. Let’s go!

SEBI taking 4 years to identify this is no good.
You’ve got to hand it to SEBI for going after Jane Street. If the allegations are true, it’s blatant market manipulation. The shocking part? They kept at it even after receiving warnings from the exchanges. Maybe this is what happens when you're used to the lenient U.S.

Want to clarify as few replies imply stability shoes are not good. They do help runners with weak foot core & instability. My point - practice of prescribing it unnecessarily. They're heavy, slows you down, importantly can cause other compensations.
Every runner who walks into an ASICS showroom magically overpronates and walks out with a Gel-Kayano. Same runner came to @runmechanics_in last week - neutral pronation, no issues. ASICS should stop this nonsense. Please don't fall for it. #runnereducation

It was fun working to put this together. Most surprising stat for me is only ~21% of marathoners ran in carbon plated shoes. I was expecting 50%. I am definitely living in shoe bubble :-).
Vaporfly or Kayano? Adios Pro or Endorphin Pro?. What are runners in India really wearing for races? The answer isn’t what you see on Instagram. We dove into real-world data to find out. The results might surprise you. Read it here #shoegeeks.

We, the "Geeks" on feet, are thriving. From GPS watches to Strava uploads, data is now part of how we run. If that sounds like you, you’ll love this one from @GeeksOnFeet.
The Rise of the Quantified Runner - Our latest research backed by data dives into how runners are embracing wearables & data:.- 1 in 2 runners logged their runs on Strava at Mumbai marathon .- 76% of marathoners used a GPS wearable.- Garmin leads.Details:

450m is still generous, and probably saves couple of minutes. Something like Hyderbad marathon in reverse would be nice. Hope to see such races in India. I'm sure lot of runners would love to. @procamintl @NEBSportsEPL @fitpage @Marathon_Hyd.
New BAA Rule for 2027 Boston Marathon. Downhill marathons will now face time penalties for Boston Qualifying (BQ) purposes:.* 457.2-914.1 m net drop âžť +5 min.* 914.2-1828.5 mâžť +10 min.* >1828.6 m âžť Not accepted.Finally! A fair move, and long overdue.

17 miles(~3 hours) in heat suit reaching core temp of 38.8 C/101.9 F. @sanchit3008 this is peak heat training.
Western States is 12 days away, and it’s going to be HOT 🔥 Until recently, I had always thought of myself as a bad heat runner. I don’t feel that way now. To be fully honest: I am scared about posting this one. Maybe it’s too honest? It shows how I’m.
