If last week's Mumbai Marathon has left you inspired but you don't know where to start, check out these running groups that will become your new family.

Parle Panthers, Vile Parle East
At 40 core members, the group was formed in 2015 by Manohar Rodrigues because "I used to see runners in Vile Parle, but there was no cohesive social bond between us." He set up a Facebook group and word spread. Now, the group travels for races together, discusses routes, and meets for runs and sometimes, just for chai. Newbie? Don't worry. The veterans will help you train and offer you tips. But, you'll have to be self-disciplined.
Runtastic Dil Se, Palm Beach Road
Started by Haridas Nair, an ex-army officer and a Comrade runner, six years ago. Classes are held at Thane and Navi Mumbai, with hill training at Parsik Hills. Reshma Shetty, a runner on the group says, classes include stretches, especially for the joints, running with ankle weights, push-ups on the road, short runs and trail runs.
Price: Rs 14,000 per year
