The weather doesn't create runners; it keeps them going.
Ask an experienced runner when to begin training, and the answer is unlikely to be January. In Hyderabad, many wait until the monsoon begins to retreat. It's a practical decision rather than an aspirational one. Long-distance running depends less on intensity than consistency. The challenge isn't completing one good run. It's returning the following weekend, and the one after that. That becomes significantly easier once the city's mornings become more forgiving.
