Black Lives Matter… and it should not be courageous to say so

June 3, 2020 Rohan Kallicharan Leave a comment

Black Lives Matter, but the world seems reluctant to hear it. It’s an indictment on us all that prejudice is still overt in the 21st Century.

It’s OK to be OK

May 3, 2020 Rohan Kallicharan Leave a comment

For so long we’ve told people that it’s OK not to be OK. Perhaps now is a time to encourage people, to tell them that it’s OK to be OK.

What IF… 2018 in Review

December 18, 2018 Rohan Kallicharan Leave a comment

My look back on 2018, a year when triumph and disaster were both met in the same manner, when the boy in his 40’s truly became a man.

Enjoyed it out there today. Chilly and not the glorious sunshine of yesterday, but still very nice conditions to run. Didn’t push too hard but legs felt good. 

Will look to get up to 20 over the next two weekends which will leave me in good shape for my Easter weekend marathon, if it goes ahead.

London was truly splendid this morning, with perfect conditions for #running. Staying fit, knowing I can #trusttheprocess, hoping my April 3 marathon will happen.

A nice effort run, tomorrow will be longer and much slower to get time on feet.

Excited to be doing an Insta Live session with @KaplanUK on Tuesday for #NationalCareersWeek, focusing on Career #Resilience.

It’s an uncertain and challenging time for so many. I hope my journey of dropping out of Uni, serious illness, unemployment & homelessness to HR Director will give hope and tools to many who need that encouragement!

Follow @kaplanuk for details on how to join.

There is a reason why my website is called run-with-perseverance.co.uk... and it’s not just because I’m a marathon runner.

I spoke recently to Mike on the Happy Employee Podcast from @startwithinuk. 

My simple message is that we don’t need to be experts to be human or to be a friend. 

Small acts, big impact

Living life with a spirit of #gratitude is what helps my #resilience.

We’ll always have things in our life which are not as we want them, and during this #pandemic and #lockdown more than ever.

Being thankful for what I have allows me to view those things with a different mindset.

So encouraged this morning! Turning out of my road on my run, I bumped into a mate I’ve not seen for a few years.

The last time we ran together (2017), I spoke so much about Jesus, she had to find out for herself.

My well had been dry but her energy just refilled it! 🏃🏾‍♂️🙏🏾

Football is all about the company it brings us and Ian St John was right up there with the best company I've ever kept in my life.

The Saint is an #LFC legend. I didn’t see him playing but Saint & Greavsie was such a part of my childhood love of the game.

Your dad or grandad’s hero, a Liverpool legend and an absolute gentleman.

Up popped the head of Ian St John 🎶

Really sad news. Thoughts with his family and friends at this time. Saint ❤️

Great podcast on my run this morning, with @JenboLFC & Callum Williams talking injury & recovery.

I really relate to the mental element of injury. I exacerbated injury because I was burnt out mentally 18 months ago. Once I had to rest, I could rebuild.
