About This Program
The 5K is deceptively challenging. Whether you're running your first ever race or gunning for a sub-25-minute personal best, Coach Vikas Srinivasan's structured program gives you exactly what you need. We focus on running form, breathing mechanics, progressive interval training, and race-day strategy. Past athletes like Daiwik (age 8!) have won Bengaluru 5K races under our program, proof that with the right coaching, results come faster than you think. Your progression is driven by how your body adapts, not by a fixed timeline.
