The Week 6 of Running(2026)

🏃‍♂️ February Running Log – Week 1 Update 💪

As mentioned in my January Running Wind Up : , my total mileage for February is 150 KM 🎯.

For February, the goal remains the same — minimum 150 KM, which clearly means consistency from Day 1 🔁.

With that in mind, I set a simple yet disciplined plan:
👉 Minimum 5 KM per day

And I’m happy to share that by the end of Week 1 of February, I’ve already clocked 50.6 KM 🥳
A strong start — now the focus is on maintaining this momentum 🚀

🌆 Weekday Runs | 🌳 Sunday Vibes

  • Monday to Saturday: Ran around my neighbourhood — staying consistent and focused 🏘️

  • Sunday: Headed to Cubbon Park 🌳

Every time I run at Cubbon Park, the energy, greenery, and fellow runners lift the spirit — and this Sunday was no exception ✨
It truly recharged both mind and body 🧠❤️

🔑 Focus Areas Going Forward

With a solid weekly mileage behind me, here’s what I’ll be consciously working on next 👇

1️⃣ Warm-Up & Cool-Down 🧘‍♂️

  • Proper timing

  • Right exercises to avoid injuries and improve recovery

2️⃣ Nutrition Focus 🥗

  • Being mindful of food choices

  • Targeting Intermittent Fasting

3️⃣ Strength Training 🏋️‍♂️

  • Supporting running with muscle strength & stability

4️⃣ Mid-Week Intensity ⚡

  • Wednesday Interval Runs to improve speed and endurance


🔄 One Week at a Time

Running is not about one great day — it’s about showing up every day 👊
Looking forward to Week 2, with the same discipline and hunger 🏃‍♂️🔥

👉 See you next week with another update! 😊

Jan 2026- Running Report

 I was reviewing my running history and found that in december i made only 70 + Kms in my overall run. And in January my target was to cross 150 Kms which means an average of 5 KM/ day. I realized that today i have to go 20+ Kms to hit the minimum 100+ atleast.

So i decided to run a LSD run today and complete it too.

When i checked some of the inactive days it was due to my ill health during the 2nd week of january.

Eventhough i have not made my target of 150 KMS , i was happy that i was able to clock 100+ Kms. I have not focussed on any strength training, so the targets for Feburary will be 

1. Running Clock - 150 KMS Mileage ( LSD -1 -10KM, 1 -15 KM, 1-20 KM, 1-30 KM)

2. Interval Run - On Every Friday 

3. Minimum 2 Days of Stregth Training.

The Week 4 of Running :

   The Week 4 of Running :(Jan19 to 25)

I was on the Gods own Campus ,  IIM-K and it was amazing campus and the climate and the elevation gain was very nice.

The campus was amazing and enjoyed the morning walk and run here. !!









The Week 3 of Running :

 The Week 3 of Running :( Jan 12-18)

This week was complete washout due to ill health, i think running in the early morning pushed me to bad cold and cough.

So i put myself on Rest!!

2026-Week 2 of Running

  The Week 2 of Running :

Jan8(Thu)- Some how managed to clock 8 Kms

Jan7(Wed)- Could not make it for the Run

Jan6(Tue)- I managed to move out of the comfort zone and started my slow jog around 5.45 Am it was very cold outside. Clocked a 3 KM in a new route and trust this route will hold my 7.5 Km Run. And my plan is to cover 1/2 the distance of my Sunday target on Wednesdays. Earlier this was my Interval day , until i find a track this is how i plan to manage. Also Friday is going to be a travel day as it is a round trip on single day with early morning flight to nagpur+2 Hours drive from there and same day need to travel back to bangalore, I need to manage and ensure that i have no breaks !!



Jan5(Mon)- Today should ideally be a Resting day , but planned to do a 2.5 KM Run and managed to complete it. I also did 2 set of Jumping rope 100 + Pushup 10 with some plank.
