Running Journey 2026 – Week 12 Update

 🏃‍♂️ Running Journey 2026 – Week 12 Update

Moving into Week 12 of the running journey, I can clearly see progress building on top of the consistency from Week 11. These two weeks have been about execution, confidence, and small milestones.

📊 Training Highlights

A few important wins over the last two weeks:

• ✅ Crossed 100+ KM monthly mileage

• ✅ Completed all planned workouts

  • Interval run

  • Hill repeats

  • Steady pace runs

  • Target pace run

• 🎯 Sub 60 mins for 10K achieved – 59:59 (flat surface)

That sub-60 mark is a big confidence booster. It shows that the training is moving in the right direction.

🏁 Eyes on TCS 10K

For the TCS World 10K Bengaluru, I missed the regular registration.

However, there is a small possibility of being part of the event as a guide runner( Helping a visullay impaired runner in the Event as a Guide Runner) . If that happens:

• First → Complete the guide run responsibility

• Then → Go for my own virtual 10K run

Either way, I want to be part of the experience.

• Also getting more comfortable with Garmin data and tracking, which is helping understand performance better

• ⚠️ Diet is still a struggle — consistency is missing and needs more focus

🔁 Looking Ahead

• ⏳ 4 weeks to go for TCS 10K

• 🔥 Next 2 weeks → Peak intensity training

• 🧘 After that → Taper phase

The focus now is simple:

• Maintain consistency

• Sharpen pace

• Improve recovery and nutrition
