Did a 32.65km training run on Sunday 08-Dec morning. Was terrible. Muscles cramp kicked in at around 25.5km..... hamstring, inner tigh, lower back. Walked quite a fair bit after that. Run, walk, run, walk, run. Did a bit of stretching too along the way. Glad to cross this far as it showed up new potential problems and challenges. Result of not training enough....
At 28km the arms muscle also cramped up. This is a new surprise.
42km will be really jiat lat. Crossed at least 75% of 42km. So I think I am more mentally prepared. There will be more new problems and challenges on actual day when I cross 32.5K to 42km..... anticipating new challanges along the way.
Reached home very tired and body aches all over. But survived.
Clocked in 32.65km in 3:50:26 hr. Not too bad for first attempt at such long distance. Running circuit is 3x of the Yio Chu Kang 10km route.
Actual full marathon event is on Sun 6-Dec. I have to travel to US on Mon 7-Dec early morning on economy class. Not sure whether I can still walk on Mon 7-Dec early morning to catch the plane.
