Recap of Newton 32 km run on 20 Oct 2013

Although I did not achieve any PB for this run, I learn a important lesson. Going into this run, I had minimum training, working long hours during weekdays. In the previous 2 weeks, I eat only chicken sandwiches for lunch and avoided most oily fried stuff. But during my 13 of Oct run, both my legs suffered from cramp after 20 km. I attributed this to eating too clean, low in salt content in my diet. So for the Newton run, I just eat normally without being too conscious about food. I did not have any problem with my legs all the way during the run. One other thing I did right was to pace myself well, sticking to a 6:30 per km or 3.5 hrs pace. Due to my low mileage, my body is not able to substain pace of say 6:15 per km or faster for long run of more than 20km. Will try to complete another 32 km run this weekend. I managed a even split of about 1hr 5min for 30km during the Newton run, which I am quite surprise as well. I guess just have to be persistent and try to run on even at slow pace.
