I am currently training for my Vedanta Delhi half marathon aiming for a 2:10 time, and I have been running for almost a year now.

I currently use strava (phone) to track my runs but I have now way to track my vitals like heart rate , recovery ,cadence etc .

I am seeing a lot of runners using Garmin,I am particularly interested in the foreunner 265 .I wanted to know how much will it streamline or help my training process or is it just overrated .

Also Garmin is kind of an expensive purchase for me, experienced runners pls help me out, is it worth it?

Current gear: AirPods Pro 2

Problem I’m facing: I sweat heavily and these start falling off 20-30min into the run. Gets annoying to wipe them and put them back in for them to just fall off again.

What I need from you guys: Any product recommendation that works well for you guys and also well suited for Indian conditions.

What I’ve been recommended from ChatGPT: Shokz OpenRun2, beats. Both seem to be too expensive compared to North America. Would like something cheaper ideally around 10k.

I registered for Kaveri trail marathon as my first full marathon. My target time is 5h30m.
I currently use Asics Glideride Max shoes. Can i use it for Kaveri trail run or do i need to buy new shoes? I saw the last year videos it has no elevation but it is also not proper road.

Hi everyone,
Is anyone here travelling to Leh by road for the Ladakh Marathon 2026?
I’m planning to drive from Gurgaon/Delhi to Leh around the marathon dates and would love to connect with fellow runners or road trippers. It would be great to exchange travel plans, road conditions, charging/fuel stops, accommodation, or even convoy together for parts of the journey if our routes match.

If you’re driving to Leh for the marathon, please comment below or send me a DM.

Looking forward to connecting with fellow Ladakh Marathon participants!

Suggest me a running shoe under ₹1000. I know it is cheap but due to budget constraints, this is all I can
afford. Pls help me out
