Half Marathon in Delhi

I have been training my clients for Airtel Delhi Half Marathon which is on 9th of Nov. There is

Half Marathon –Distance: 21.09 km
Dream Run –Distance: 6 km
Senior Citizens Run –Distance: 4.3 km
Wheelchair Event –Distance: 2.5 km

All my clients are training for 21.09 km



Initially, they all started their training indoor on a treadmill. They had to be taught the warm up exercises, stretches, how to keep their abs tight, maintain their postures, elbows bent 90 degree. Their speed had to be monitored and slowly a program plan designed to increase one component a day- speed, distance, time.

Slowly they became more aware of their heart rate, breathing, how to avoid oxygen debt and once they were ready, they were taken outdoors. Here again, we had pedometers and heart rate monitors. On every day basis, their workouts would be recorded in the computer and a graph was made for each one of them.

Now we are all ready for half marathon. We are in fact looking forward to it. We have it every year in Delhi and this is an event which we await.
