š♂️ February Running Log – Week 2 Update šŖ
Week 1 built the base.
Week 2 was about protecting the momentum š
And I’m glad to say — the rhythm continued smoothly.
š Week 2 Performance Snapshot
✅ Ran all 7 days
✅ 50+ KM clocked again
✅ Strong aerobic consistency maintained
⚡ 5 KM at 5:45 pace
Technically, that wasn’t an interval session — it was more of a paced tempo effort.
Holding 5:45/km for 5K felt controlled yet challenging, which signals improving aerobic capacity and pacing discipline š§ š♂️
Consistency + controlled speed = good signs early in the cycle.
š Eyes on TCS 10K
With TCS World 10K Bengaluru coming up on April 26, I have roughly 10 weeks to prepare ⏳
Now comes the dilemma:
š️ Register officially and follow a structured race build-up
š Or run it self-supported as a personal benchmark
Either way, the timeline is ideal for:
Gradual mileage progression
One weekly quality session
Strength integration
Race-specific pacing practice
Decision pending… but preparation continues.
š§ Recovery & Discipline Improvements
One positive shift this week š
✔️ More structured Warm-up & Cool-down
✔️ Added 5 minutes of Box Breathing at the end
That breathing practice is helping regulate heart rate, calm the nervous system, and improve recovery response š«
Small habits. Big compounding effect.
šÆ Focus Areas for Week 3
Still work in progress — and that’s good. Growth lives here š
1️⃣ Nutrition Optimization š„
Improve protein intake (recovery & muscle repair)
Focus on calcium (bone strength, especially with consistent mileage)
2️⃣ Body Composition Discipline ⚖️
Better structure around Intermittent Fasting
Align fueling with training load
3️⃣ Structured Training Blocks š️♂️
Currently: Mostly 5K runs
Next Goal:
š 30 minutes run + 15 minutes structured workouts
(strength / mobility / core stability)
Running alone builds endurance.
Strength builds durability.
š The Pattern Emerging
Week 1 → Foundation
Week 2 → Reinforcement
The key now is avoiding complacency.
Mileage is stable. Pace is improving. Recovery habits are better.
Now it’s time to build intelligently š
See you in Week 3 update šš„
