21km training run

Target to do 21km or more today around AMK/YCK 10km route.

Managed to complete 21km run in 2:09:31 hour, i.e. at an average speed of 9.7km/hr. Felt lethagic in the first few km and was feeling difficulty to ran at 10km/hr speed. So try to keep speed between 9km and 10km range.

Took a glass of coffee and 6 small bananas. Took an energy gel at 13km point. Carried only two of the 300ml bottle of isotonic drink with me instead of 3 or 4 bottles. The two bottles run out around 19km mark. So to do 21km in future I should bring along 3 bottles instead.

The chart shows heart rate at mostly Zone 4 after the first 9km, which correlate to me feeling tired. But was glad to be able to complete at least 21km that I set out to do.
