Wife went for "marathon shopping" along Orchard road for 6 hours. So decided to go for a 15km run today. Went to run around Seletar Hills Estate area.
Identified a running route of 2.6km. Used this route as a circuit and did multiple runs around this route. Set up a water point (with a bottle of 100-Plus and a cup) near the Neram Crescent playground garden. Planned to stop at this water point and grabbed a drink after each round.
During the initial 1st, 2nd and 3rd round... felt quite thirsty and this water point proved to be very useful. After about 10km, the body really warmed up well and did not felt thirsty after that... so continue to run without drinking until 14km mark.
Continue with drinking for another 2km and completed total 16km today. For this final 2km, did a mixture of walking 300m and fast run 300m.
Overall, very happy to have covered 16km vs original plan of 15km. I am ready for the 24-May PA Passion run now.
Used to run on Tue and Thu only in the past if I can make it. Looks like a good idea to try to run on Tue, Thu and Sat (if time permits)... body will stay more consistently fit.
Planning to join a few running events by staggering increasing distance to get ready for a FULL Marathon 42km run by Dec this year.
24-May : PA Passion run - 15km
08-Aug : SAFRA Marina Bay run - 21km
08-Dec : Standard Chartered Marathon - 42km
