🏃‍♂️ Running Journey 2026 – Week 13 Update

 🏃‍♂️ Running Journey 2026 – Week 13 Update

Week 13 done. The journey is now getting more structured and intentional. I can see the momentum building, and the training is slowly aligning with the goal.


📊 Training Highlights

This week had a good mix of workouts, with most of the plan executed:

  • 🟢 Paced Run (Sat)

    • 7.5 KM | 48:49

    • Avg Pace 6:30/km | Best Pace 4:26/km

    • Controlled effort, good pacing discipline

  • 🟢 Interval Run (Thu)

    • 9.69 KM | 1:01:12

    • Avg Pace 6:19/km

    • Strong session, pushing pace while staying consistent

  • 🟢 Hill Repeats (Tue)

    • 9.67 KM | 1:03:25

    • Avg Pace 6:33/km

    • Tough workout, but managed well

  • 🟢 Gym Sessions (Wed & Fri)

    • Managed to hit the gym twice

  • 🔴 Long Run (Sun)

    • Missed this session

Overall, most of the key workouts were completed. Missing the long run is something to correct next week.


🏁 Eyes on TCS 10K

Week 6 of training completed successfully for the TCS World 10K Bengaluru.

  • Momentum is clearly building 📈

  • Sub 60 mins for 10K looks achievable with continued consistency

  • Registered for the Virtual Run on April 26

  • Awaiting confirmation for Guide Runner opportunity

The goal is getting more real now.


🧠 Key Takeaways

  • Warm-up / Cool-down / Drills – 100% followed

  • ⚠️ Gym & core workouts – slight slippage

  • ⚠️ Diet – still not under control

Warm-up and drills are now becoming a strong habit, which is helping with overall consistency and recovery.

Diet continues to be the biggest gap — needs focus.


🔁 Looking Ahead

With a few weeks to go:

  • Stay consistent with all workouts (especially long runs)

  • Maintain pace discipline

  • Bring back focus on strength and core

  • Improve diet gradually

The path is clear now.
Just need to stay consistent and execute 👟
