In the run-up to Bengaluru Marathon, scheduled in October, Jayanagar Jaguars, one of the oldest and popular running groups in the city, began the 16-week preparatory fitness and strength training, and structure runs on Saturday. Those who wish to participate can visit the Facebook page of Jayanagar Jaguars for details. “Often, people participate in marathons and end up having injuries as they have no prior preparation. So our training will essentially help them complete their first half marathon,” Pramod Desphande, coach of Jayanagar Jaguars, said.
