Nobody Dies Tonight

‘Nobody Dies Tonight’ is a collection of articles written by the author between May 2020 and April 2021 to serve as a fitness manual created by a runner during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a humble tribute by him to all those who supported and encouraged each other to create a better world during the pandemic. All the articles were related to fitness and running. The author considered with deep conviction in his heart that the one probable reason why he came out a survivor in the pandemic was his penchant for running since 2008 as a 48-year-old. It took a certain amount of courage for the author to wake up early morning and run solo on remote roads roof-tops terraces parking lots and inside his home during the lockdown. The author wrote the articles with three basic aspects in mind. One to cover the scientific aspects of running like running posture running cadence mechanics of breathing lactate threshold and maximum oxygen uptake. Second nutrition was covered under myths on carbohydrates importance of vitamins and minerals vegan diet and eating for better performance. Third being a 60-plus runner he made sure to include subjects on exercise and longevity importance of sleep and the older runner. He was also candid enough to give his own interpretation of the pandemic both during 2020 and 2021 separately related to running. There was also a common-sense approach to selecting running shoes understanding diabetes and a controversial deliberation on blood doping.
