This Morning - Hit the most illusive 21K in 2hr 55 minutes:-) - it was unofficial though - not at any event but just on my own. Was so excited that got up just a minute before the alarm went off @4.40 am. Was out by 5.20 and hit the road @5.25, completed @8.20 hushhhhh!!!
Unusually hot for November - 22 deg celc @ 6 am!!😡
The last 5K was really a stretch taking 50 minutes..:-) Consumed @500+ ml water between 13-21 K. Non stop, no snacking during the run. Though some dry fruits immediately after coming to halt...which i was carrying. Very difficult walking back home after the run and even more taxing doing post run stretching. Ligaments behind knee, and calves got hit the most and the lower back as well :(. Stretching helped tremendously though :-). Also so fatigued that didn't want to think, write and post this, thruout the day. Had 1 hour sleep in the afternoon. Also made sure that stepping out in the noon to activate legs which have become too numb!!!!:-) And 2-3/times lime + salt + sugar water during the day to avoid any cramps etc...
- 6k to 21K just under 4 weeks (11 Oct - 7 Nov)
- 12 days of actual run
- ~120 K run till date
- This week 43 K
- 7 times 10+ K runs
- Average 10k / day
- 6 6 6 10 6 10 10 6 16 10 12 21 (12 days run)
- Lost 3 KGs in last month, not at all great....
- Also couldn't have been on my usual diet (in fact a bit depleted) for last 2-3 months
After the run, i was felling like wearing a mud face pack ;) - not exactly but to some extent, smoke + sweat + dust even with a very less morning traffic!!
Having a weird feeling after achieving this - cant explain... May need to consider some other targets..but it can't be a full marathon... In fact 3 hours on road was too much of a stretch, and not too sure if I should continue..... But definitely want to run 1 official half marathon - Most likely on 6 Dec, the Pune marathon :-)
