RUNNING, ESPECIALLY A 25-KM IS A COMMITMENT. PREPARE FOR IT.
The Tata Steel World 25K Kolkata is an endurance challenge that requires progressive training and appropriate medical preparation.
Before registering, ask yourself:
AM I READY TO TRAIN SAFELY?
Complete the current PAR-Q+ before starting or intensifying your training.
You should seek medical advice before participating if you have:
- Known heart disease, hypertension or abnormal heart rhythm
- Chest pain, unusual breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness or fainting during exercise
- Diabetes or another chronic medical condition
- A significant respiratory condition or recent serious illness/infection
- Recently undergone surgery or hospitalisation
- A current injury or musculoskeletal problem that may worsen with running
- A previous history of collapse, heat illness or a medical emergency during exercise
- Any other health concern that may affect your ability to safely undertake endurance exercise
A YES to a screening question does not necessarily mean you cannot participate — it means you may need further medical assessment before increasing your activity.
TRAIN SMART
- Build your running distance progressively.
- Practise your pacing, hydration and nutrition during training.
- Prioritise sleep and recovery.
- Do not make sudden changes to your training immediately before race day.
KNOW WHEN TO STOP
During training or the race, do not ignore:
- Chest pain • severe breathlessness • fainting • significant dizziness • palpitations
- confusion • unusual weakness • severe headache or any concerning new symptom.
Stop and seek medical assistance if these occur.
