Wednesday Easy Run (Chromepet) - Post Run Report

No Comment

Hi All,


Ananth and I had decided to run easy today and had started the run around 6:00 am. We ran on the Pallavaram - Thoraipakkam 100 ft radial road. Could see lot of people walking/jogging/running.

We had decided do it as 3:1 (3min run : 1min walk) as this would help the beginners like Ananth to build up the endurance progressively.

It was good run and was 5kms in 46 mins.

Thursday LSD Run (04/03/2010) - Post Run Report

No Comment

Hi All,


We were all 5 of us.

1.Yash
2.Senthilanand
3.Abdi
4.Ananthkrishnan
5.Shankar Lal M Patel

Today we were two of us from Chromepet, myself and Ananth, Yash and Senthilanand started running and just few hundred meters we would have run and we saw Abdi coming in Auto to join us. Senthil and Abdi tagged along. Yash, Ananth and me were running together. Since Ananth had just began running from today after a long time, he was struggling a little. I could remember my days exactly one year before and not able to run continuously for 5kms.

We reached the end of Greenways Road and Ananth preferred to turn back and other four went ahead till Velankanni Church and back.

Finally it was a good run with 7.67miles (12.34kms) in 1h:27mins @ avg pace of 5.3mph (8.5kmph).

No Comment

Hi All,


A very brief report.

Narayanan, Yash and Me had a fantastic run till Gandhi Statue and back and all felt great after the run.

I had pushed myself a bit harder by averaging the run at 6miles/Hour (9.65km/h) and had run a distance of 5.72 miles (9.2kms) in 60 minutes.

Yash gave a good insight about weights and body strengthening.

Thanks Narayanan and Yash for the good run.

Earlier Announcement - Feb 9, 2010
Dear Chennai Runners

It looks like just yesterday.. Vidyuth, Hari & I used to ran together.. huffing and puffing even to do a few kms at a stretch.  We have come (run) long from that humble beginning 4 years back.  We are now close 800 strong and have several 'marathoners' in our midst.  We have planted a seed that is slowly but steadily picking up stream in Chennai and across the world.  Yes, some of the Chennai Runners have moved to other parts of the world but are very much a Chennai Runner @ heart and they keep running.

In order to celebrate our small victories, we have planned for a Anniversary Celebration Run on March 7, 2010.  This will be in the city and in place of the earlier announced ECR12 run.  

Stay tuned for more details about the Anniversary Celebration Run.. In the mean time.. Keep Running and Keep Smiling..

Sunday Long Run (28th Feb 2010) Post Run Report

1 Comment

Hi All,


We were eight of us at the 5:15 am start and Ramani was there at 5:45 am for the beginners.

1.Ramesh McKinsey
2.Saravanan
3.Sarav
4.Senthilanand
5.Karthik P
6.Yash
7.Abdi ( Guest Runner from Kenya)
8.Shankar Lal M Patel

Abdi is Kenyan but now staying in London and has been here for the treatment of his father and somehow he came to know about Chennai Runners and was here for the run. He has done only half marathon and is not happy with his 1h:28min finish!!!!

We all ran the classic route. Abdi, Sarav and Ramesh tagged along and Senthilanand, Yash and me were running together.

At the finish point we met Madhavan and Ram who had started a bit late.

Some of the CR's had gone for the Charity Run of 3.7 kms at the Lighthouse.

Puru is going back to Mumbai and remember you have a good running buddy at Mumbai to run with. Puru we all are gonna miss you. Wish you happy running.
