Finally, I crossed the half marathon barrier !!
Ran a 31.66 KM today morning, in preparation of the StanChart Mumbai Marathon. This is the single longest distance I ave ever run.
I was fine till about 27 th KM but then I slowed and walked for a bit and started my running again. It was more of a shuffle than running but let's just call it running. eventually I was on my feet for abt 4 hrs 10 mins. Mighty proud of it.
Shiv, luckily for me, shared his magic elixir of Tang + electoral. The mistake I was about to commit was that I was gonna drink only water, no sodium, potash or salts of any kind. My future long runs will see me carrying salt replenishment as well.
The experiment of sandwich worked well. 2 pieces of bread with butter & German homemade strawberry jam cut into quarters and individually wrapped in cling film made it easy to eat on the run without my sweat mixed in my food. This way I could share my foods well with the good fellow runners.
More on the route of the run with maps later.
