I was wondering if anyone has any experience of running in India? I am due to travel there next week to do some volunteering and will be halfway through week 6. I want to carry on as much as I can as I'm away for 2 weeks. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Wow, that's brilliant. No advice about running there as I was not a runner when I went on holiday there back in 2006, feels like a lifetime ago. Probably best to get some advice locally when you are there so you're not running straight into danger - remember the wildlife there can be a bit more fearsome than here in the UK! It's a beautiful country, we only saw a tiny fraction of it and I would love to go back some day. Enjoy!
Where are you going, Knittynut ? I ran when I was in New Delhi and there were loads and loads of people running in the park! In fact, I met with one of our C25K buddies (she is no longer on this forum, I don't think) but that was one of the highlights of my running journey, going all that way and running with a new friend I'd made via C25K
I've been to other places and didn't see people flashing the lycra but I also ran in Mumbai where it seemed acceptable. Check with whoever you are staying or working with before you go as I'm sure they will have the best advice.
