Running Journey : Week 23 Update

 🏃‍♂️ HM Training Journey 2026 – Week 6 / 16 Update

We are now at Week 6 of the 16-week Half Marathon training plan.

To be honest, the journey is not going exactly as planned.

The initial momentum after the Sub-60 10K slowly faded, and over the last 3 weeks !! I haven't been able to follow the training plan as consistently as I would have liked. Between work, travel, routine changes, and a few other priorities, the HM preparation has not received the same attention that the 10K training block received.

However, instead of worrying about the missed sessions, I have decided to focus on one thing:

👉 Consistency from this week onwards.

Sometimes the goal is not to have a perfect training plan. The goal is to get back on track.


📊 Current Status

  • Week 6 of 16 completed

  • Training not fully aligned with the plan

  • Long runs need more consistency

  • Strength training needs to be restarted regularly

  • Nutrition continues to be the biggest challenge



The positive side is that I still have enough time to build towards the goal if I stay disciplined over the coming weeks.


🎯 Goal Remains the Same

The target is still:

Sub-2 Half Marathon
🏃 21.1 KM in under 120 minutes

The timeline may have become tighter, but the goal remains unchanged.


🧠 Key Takeaway

The biggest lesson from the 10K journey was:

"It's okay to sink, but don't skip."

I need that reminder again.

Not every week will be perfect.
Not every run will feel great.

But showing up consistently will always beat waiting for the perfect week.


🔁 Looking Ahead

For the next  weeks, the focus is simple:

  • Follow the training plan

  • Prioritize long runs

  • Restart strength workouts

  • Improve nutrition gradually

  • Stay injury-free

No shortcuts.

Just consistency.

Let's see where the next 1 weeks take me.
