Aaj continuous? Coach Ravi’s question for any run short or long, hard or medium that doesn’t involve interval training. For me it was easy or time on feet. Continuous makes perfectly good sense too.
Gaju and I had had two days straight of Coach Ravi accompanying us on the trusty scooty so today it was the friendly Lane Nine for us.
Normally I don’t listen to music – especially not at the stadium – but today round after round felt like it could use some old school rock.
Rage Against the Machine isn’t exactly morning music but what the heck.
The track was full. By now, the kids were shirtless, abs gleaming, sprinting like their life depended on it. Others walked. Young kids played around following their parents or their coaching instruction. There was a boxing class in the infield. Me and Gaju in lane nine.
Round after round, I watched a young man in lane one. Moustached with a Rami Malek look, black sleeveless, red shorts. The kind of runner that makes running what it is. Beautiful stride, effortless running and laser focused seriousness.
Back home, it was on the bars and a quick circuit to round up the morning.
