Background
Why this coach
Kundan Mishra coaches this himself — every plan, every session, every race build.
01
Bachelor's in Physical Education
Formal grounding in anatomy, physiology and sports science.
02
ASCA certified
Australian Strength and Conditioning Association — the strength work underneath the running.
03
Racing since 2024
Certified road races across India, every result on a timing certificate.
The coaching
What he coaches
5K and 10K
First-timers through to runners chasing a sub-50 or a sub-45.
Half marathon
Twelve-week builds that raise weekly distance gradually rather than in jumps.
Race pacing
A pace you have actually practised, and a plan for the day rather than a hope.
Returning after a lay-off
Walk-run back to continuous running, with strength work alongside it. Coaching is not medical treatment — if you are injured, see a doctor or physiotherapist first.
