📈 What Week 4 Shows

1️⃣ Aerobic base is stabilizing — most steady runs around 6:25–6:32/km
2️⃣ Heart rate in steady efforts holding around 148–154 bpm
3️⃣ Strength training now integrated
4️⃣ Recovery runs intentionally slow

This is smart training — not emotional running.


🏁 Eyes on TCS 10K

Preparation continues for the TCS World 10K Bengaluru on April 26.

🎯 Target: Sub 1 Hour 10K

Current steady pace suggests:

  • Aerobic conditioning is progressing

  • Need to gradually bring tempo pace closer to 5:45–5:55/km

  • Maintain injury-free momentum


🧠 Key Takeaways This Week

✔ Followed the training plan
✔ Respected rest and recovery
✔ Executed 3 timed quality runs well
✔ Avoided overtraining temptation

Week 4 reinforces something important:
Progress is not dramatic — it’s disciplined.

See you in Week 5 — sharpening pace, staying patient 👊🔥
