The fundraising group running during Ramadan

The morning sessions, about 10-15 miles, were better because there was food and water in their stomachs he said, with evening runs shorter at about five to eight miles.

“Those are a little bit of a slog, because your food and water has basically finished,” he said,

“But you keep yourself going with prayers and the thought that it’s just an hour away before you can eat.”

After Ramadan ends, the group will be taking part in the Manchester and London Marathons in April and the Birmingham Half Marathon on 5 May.

Mr Dalvi described it as a privilege to run in their spare time and said despite running while fasting, raising money for the cause is what kept them going.

Charities have been raising funds for people in Gaza after reports of people being displaced and going without food.
