Real stories from people who have transformed their lives through our programs.
It’s been a few weeks since I returned from Chennai, and I’m finally getting back into my pre-India training routine. The transition hasn’t been easy, but I’m thrilled to be back on track!
After an intense and eye-opening two weeks in Chennai, I’m back in the UK, and I must say: what an experience it’s been. The contrast between running in Chennai and running here is stark, and I have a newfound appreciation for the good roads and more manageable conditions we often take for granted in the UK.
Since arriving in Chennai five days ago, I’ve faced an entirely new set of challenges in my marathon training. Chennai is a city of contrasts-rich in heritage with sprawling beaches and bustling with modern developments. But for a runner, the streets present an entirely different kind of challenge.
