151 days to go..
Trail running is a sport which consists of running and hiking over trails. In the United Kingdom and Ireland it is called mountain or fell running. It differs from road running and track running in that it generally takes place on hiking trails, often in mountainous terrain, where there can be much larger ascents and descents. It is difficult to definitively distinguish trail running from cross country running
The ranks of trail runners are increasing annually. Runners often cite less impact stress compared to road running, as well as the landscape and non-urban environment, as primary reasons for preferring trail running. This move to nature is also reflected in a large increase in competitors in non-traditional/off-road triathlons and adventure racing over the past five years
The BMC took cognizance of this fact and decided to single handedly be responsible for giving a taste of trail running for Mumbaikars.
If the BMC's 'masterplan', 'open heart surgery', largest road digging 'exercise' ever is to be believed, we are going to have 'few' road woes this monsoon. So some 598 roads have been 'completed'. i believe they have been 'completely finished'. Some 100 roads more have yet to be 'finished'.
So what do hapless runners like me get????
Paver blocks (the bane of the previous government) being uprooted, roads dug with monstrous machines,
being 'leveled' with roadrollers,
straight slopes, horizontal slopes, gravel, potholes,..
All just about matching the requirements of a challenging trail.
Hell...Bring on KhardungLa!!!!!
