In my sessions, we focus heavily on pacing strategy, teaching you how to hold your target pace during the early stages of a long run so you have the energy to push when it matters most. Whether you are eyeing a sub-4 hour marathon or looking to complete your first 10k race, success starts with a plan you can actually sustain. My approach moves beyond just recording distance on your watch. We break down your training into manageable blocks: Base Building, Peak Training, and Tapering. Every week includes intentional speedwork, hill repeats, and endurance runs to build both your aerobic capacity and your mental resilience. We use the tracks at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium and the trails at Agara Lake to simulate different race day terrains. You will learn to integrate strength training and mobility routines, which are essential for injury prevention when your mileage starts to climb. What sets our group training apart is the accountability. You are training with the Adidas Runners Bengaluru crew, which means you have support from day one. You are not just following a static plan; we analyze your Strava data to adjust your training based on how your body is actually responding to the load. If you are struggling with a specific pace or feeling the fatigue of a long training week, we tweak your schedule, not your resolve. ## About Vikas Srinivasan I believe in the power of sport to change lives, and running is where that starts. My goal is to guide you through the process, helping you find the discipline to push past your limits and the form to keep you injury-free.
