Running history

Two years,
on the clock

Kundan Mishra took up running seriously in 2024. Everything below is off an official timing certificate, in the order it happened — including the races that did not go to plan.

The trend

Getting faster, race by race

Every certified race, plotted by average pace. Shorter races sit naturally lower on this chart than long ones — a 10K is always quicker per kilometre than a half marathon — so the honest comparison is like distance against like distance.

Average pace per kilometre 10 km: 4:26 → 4:24 /km
4:15 4:30 4:45 5:00 5:15 5:30 5:19 Aug 2025 21.1 km 4:53 Oct 2025 21.097 km 4:50 Dec 2025 25 km 4:24 Feb 2026 10 km 4:54 Feb 2026 21.097 km 4:26 Mar 2026 10 km

Read like for like: the half marathon went from 5:19 per kilometre in August 2025 to 4:53 that October — the same distance, nine minutes and fourteen seconds quicker, two months apart.

How it actually went

2024
Running becomes the point

Kundan Mishra takes up running seriously and starts entering events — The Yoddha Race first, then Hyrox. The running legs are what decide a hybrid race, and that is what turns a strength and conditioning coach into someone training like a runner.
