My Analysis:
I did some changes from last run:
1. Lighter breakfast - 3 x Date Bars.
2. Drink water - 15 mins before run.
3. More warming up / stretching before run
It's working! Last training i made 1 hrs 7 mins for 10 km. Now 1 hrs 2 mins.
Next thing to do:
1. More exercises / trainings - Target 1 hours
2. To maintain pace at least 5.25 min /km.
3. Control meals
I still couldn't follow Dato and Jassir's pace:
0-3km 3-5.76km 5.76-10km
1. Jassir: 5.11 5.07 5.58
2. Dato: 5.34 5.56 6.58
3. Aswade: 5.45 6.33 6.74
4. Riza: 6.01 6.53 8.00
One of factor why my pace reduced toward the end of run because their finishing line. There are 2 arches that look like the finishing line (Redbull Arch & Starting Arch). I hardly pushed my strength when reaching starting line (on the bridge - uphill position) which i though it was finishing line.
OMG..another 400m to go!!
Allahamdullilah, at least I can finish 10km challenge without stop and maintain my pace at 6.2mins/km in 1 hour 2 mins.
