Whoo.. Daryl is happy today.

I can’t believed that i managed to complete 21km in Bishan Park today. The timing was 2hrs 15mins. Fatigue starts to set in after the 17th KM, i felt like i was crawling my way through the last 4km.

It seems like all the sore, pain and fatigue disappear instantaneously when i reached the finishing point.

I managed to complete 6pull ups, even after the 21 km run. The feeling is just too great.

Some tips to consider to survive a long run (only if you consider 20km to be long enough for you)

• Eat at least 5hours before the run

This is for your body to fully absorb what you have eaten to give you the energy to last. Also, one won’t be able to run well on�a full and heavy stomache.

• Eat Light

This is just my personal opinion, because i cannot stand the strong�feeling of the food still lingering around my tastebuds. More�fruits and vegetables would be adviceable because they are easier to digest. Meat might give you the protein, but you would have to consumer them earlier to make sure it no longer stays in your body.

• Drink just enough water

Due to the fact that we perspire a lot and lose�water during the run. It is�inevitable that we replenish the water content in our body. But always make sure that we just take enough water to�replenish those that were loss.�Drinking too much will result in a heavy stomache and it might lead to stitch. Also, try to drink the water slowly instead of gulping it all down at once.

• Consistency

Try to run on a consistent pace, never try to beat time�as it will only result in more fatigue coming your way before reaching your destination. Just let your body be full control of the speed. When it’s tired,�it will slowly down automatically, when its feeling good,�the body�would push�you to pace up.

• Determination

This is the last and one of the most important factor. Set your target, and run towards your target. If something crops up in the middle of the run, don’t push yourself. It will only lead to more injury making you less abled to run the next time round. If its only tiredness,�then try to make yourself think, think of anything under the sun, then you probably forget about the�sore and tiredness.
