For Kavita, her experience in winning medals at the Senior Federation Cup in Kerala and setting her personal best in the same event in Patiala the following year will come in handy as she attempts to run against a talented field on Sunday. Parul\u2019s approach to the race involves focusing on herself, \u201cI don\u2019t consider any competition. There is no special training because we run 5K and 10K in practice every time.\u201d For Sanjivani, it will be a matter of replicating some of her earlier accolades in the Federation Cup and Tata Mumbai Marathon.<\/p>\n<p>The men\u2019s field boasts of Army athletes who are all accomplished and shared a few laughs with each other when asked about being able to compete against each other. Srinu Bugatha looks to be the man to beat in the field, having won the Tata Mumbai Marathon in 2020 and finishing 2nd in the Delhi Half Marathon in the same year. AB Baliappa will be hoping to improve on his 5th place finish back in 2018. He also comes into the race on Sunday with qualification for the Asian Games and a bronze in the SAF Nations Marathon in Bangladesh earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>For both Srinu and Baliappa, the TCS World 10K is one step in the journey towards training for marathons. \u201cI [and Baliappa] am training at the Army Sports camp in Pune. A full marathon practice is going on,\u201d said Srinu about his targets for the future. \u201cIt\u2019s my second time at the TCS World 10K so I want to do my best. The next big target is marathon \u2013 [for that], speed is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kartik Kumar, the final representative of the men\u2019s field at the press conference, was very relaxed when asked about his chances of beating the course record, with his personal best of 29:20 being almost 20 seconds faster than what was set by Suresh Kumar. \u201cI came to Bangalore for training so I\u2019m happy to race with these people as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The USD $210,000 World Athletics Elite Label Race will witness some of the world\u2019s finest distance runners on the roads of Bengaluru as well as thousands of mass participation competitors from across India.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the TCS World 10K for elite runners, there is an Open 10K, the Majja Run (5km) the Senior Citizens\u2019 Race and the Champions with Disability Race (both 4.2km).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bengaluru: A day before runners all across the city lace up their shoes to take to the streets of Bengaluru, the Indian elite athletes, contending for the title of TCS World 10K 2022 champion, spoke to the media present about their outlook for the upcoming race and their plans for the future.
