Speed, Strength & Stamina Running Training
Join our group training at Cubbon Park for a balanced plan that improves your pace and keeps you injury-free. We train together—rain or shine—to help you hit your goals, whether that's your first 10k or an ultra marathon.
This is what it feels like to run with us. As your coach, I don't just stand on the sidelines. I run with you, every step of the way, pushing you to be your best.
A glimpse into our Fartlek training. We did 12 reps of 90 seconds fast followed by 60 seconds slow to build speed and endurance. You can hear the effort and the fun.
A tough tempo run followed by a post-run strength workout. We incorporate exercises like mountain climbers and planks to build a strong core, which is essential for runners.
Building core strength is non-negotiable. Here's the team holding a high plank after a 90-minute run, a great exercise for runner stability.
A full cardio and core workout against the backdrop of Vidhana Soudha. We perform jump squats, plank rotations, and more to build all-around fitness.
Post-run drills are crucial for injury prevention. Here, the team is doing ankle strengthening exercises after a tough speed interval session.
A look at one of our speed interval workouts. This session involved 600m fast repeats to improve anaerobic threshold and overall pace.
About this collection
We don't just log miles at RTC. Every session at Cubbon Park combines technical running drills—like tempo runs and 600m intervals—with post-run bodyweight circuits. You get real-time form correction while we work on your core stability, which is exactly how you stay injury-free while chasing a new personal best.
Beyond Just Logging Miles
Most runners struggle to improve because they only focus on distance. Our training sessions at Cubbon Park are structured to break that cycle. We implement a specific mix of tempo runs, interval training, and hill repeats to build both aerobic capacity and anaerobic speed. If you are training for the TCS World 10K or the Wipro Bengaluru Marathon, our schedule is designed to get you race-ready with specific volume and pacing goals.
Why Strength Training is Essential
Running is repetitive. If you aren't doing strength work, you are just waiting for an overuse injury. That is why we dedicate time at the end of every session to functional strength. We don't use heavy machines; instead, we use bodyweight calisthenics like mountain climbers, jump squats, and planks. These exercises are selected specifically to build the glute and core stability that keeps your knees and hips healthy when your mileage increases.
