We don't just log miles here; we mix in plyometrics and functional lifts to build an engine that lasts. Whether you are a beginner or a marathoner, my focus is on fixing your form to keep you on the road and injury-free. Running is a full-body sport, not just a game of miles. That is why my sessions at Agara Lake and local gyms in HSR Layout aren't just about endurance. We focus on 'Form First,' ensuring you move efficiently to avoid common overuse injuries. My coaching style blends three pillars: 1. Functional Strength: We do deadlifts, squats, and lunges to build the power you need for that final race stretch. 2. Mobility & Activation: We use resistance bands and drill-heavy circuits to wake up the muscles that running often ignores. 3. Community & Safety: As part of the Adidas Runners Bengaluru crew, we provide a space where no one is judged. Through my 'With Women We Run' initiative, we ensure women have a safe, supportive environment to train. We train at various locations across Bengaluru, including HSR Stadium, Cult HSR, and the open tracks of Agara Lake. You get a personalized digital roadmap, weekly progress reviews, and in-person technique correction. We do not break you; we shape you. If you are ready to stop guessing and start training, I am here to guide you. ## About Vikas Srinivasan I am Vikas, and I believe running is a full-life fix. My coaching is about more than hitting a target pace; it is about building a community that shows up for each other every single day. If you are ready to put in the work, I am here to show you how.
