🏃♂️ March Running Update – 2026 Summary
March has been a month of structure, consistency, and real progress in my running journey. From just building mileage to now training with intent, I can clearly see the shift.
📊 Monthly Highlights
✅ Consistently followed the training plan across weeks
✅ Crossed 140+ KM for March and Last 3 Months total 400 KMS aprox
✅ Completed all key workouts:
Interval runs
Hill repeats
Steady & paced runs
🎯 Achieved a major milestone: Sub 60 mins 10K (59:59)
The pace is now stabilizing around the 6:20–6:30/km range, with a clear roadmap to improve further.
🏁 Eyes on TCS 10K
Preparation continued for the TCS World 10K Bengaluru.
Registered for the Virtual Run (April 26)
Exploring an opportunity to be a Guide Runner
Target remains: Sub 1 Hour 10K
Even though I missed the official race registration, the goal and training remain unchanged.
🏋️ Training Evolution
March saw a more structured approach to training:
Added gym & strength training
Included intervals, hill repeats, and paced runs
Started focusing on pace discipline and endurance balance
One key improvement:
👉 Warm-up, cool-down, and drills became consistent habits
🧠 Key Learnings
Consistency is now becoming a habit, not an effort
“It’s ok to suck than to skip” — this mindset helped on tough days
Better understanding of pace, heart rate, and Garmin data
⚠️ Areas to Improve
Diet discipline is still not in place
Strength & core workouts need more consistency
Occasional misses (like long runs) need better planning.
🔁 Looking Ahead (April Focus)
⏳ Final weeks before TCS 10K
🔥 Short phase of peak intensity training
🧘 Followed by tapering
🥗 Bring discipline into nutrition
📌 Closing Note
March was the month where things started to come together.
From just running → to training with purpose.
The goal is now within reach.
All that’s needed is consistent execution 👟
