After reading from the experts here, I think I am going to try running 21.1K Garmin Race

I believe if I can really slow pace, I would be able to make it

4 hours cut off is very generous. But do train for it.

 

[ctan84]

In another words, it should be 6km × per hour?

Barely 6km/hr or so lah.

 

[Jeremy1]

4 hours now cut off is very generous. But do train for it.

I will

But hopefully can get my leg going on that day

 

[Lchlch]

I think bro Lchlch know his limits so no worries.

Actually I believe if can maintained Zone 2 running for 3 hours cfm completing a HM is np at all

Yes bro.
I know my limit n won't force myself to run fast.

 

[Lchlch]

I will

But hopefully can get my leg going on that day

Bro good luck ya..

 

[Ender]

Bro I am using run keeper apps ans it show avg speed.
But I used 1 hr 40 min to complete 10km.

1:40 is 100min for 10km which is 10min/km pace. 6km/hr.

 

[Lchlch]

1:40 is 100min for 10km which is 10min/km pace. 6km/hr.

Oic..my apologise..

 

[Jeremy1]

In another words, it should be 6km × per hour?

You said you took 1 hour 40 minutes to complete 10Km so your pace should be about 10 minutes per km.

 

[Jeremy1]

Bro good luck ya..

If cannot run, jog.
If cannot jog, walk.
If cannot walk, give up.

Simple as ABC

 

[Lchlch]

You said you took 1 hour 40 minutes to complete 10Km so your pace should be about 10 minutes per km.

Bro I read according to runkeeper apps.

 

[raylong]

I think if can really slow jog at 10.40 pace, don't think anything can happened to you

For my first FM I walk until chest pain ah. But luckily it was just a false alarm. The important thing is listen to your body.

 

[ctan84]

Bro I read according to runkeeper apps.

YAH, it says MIN/KM.

 

[Jeremy1]

Bro I read according to runkeeper apps.

Yes, you're correct. It takes 10.44 minutes to complete 1 Km so that's your pace.

In order to complete the HM within 4 hours, you need to maintain a pace of 11.3 minutes per Km so you are very good liao.

The problem is can you maintain this 10.44 minutes paces for the rest of the Km.

You mean you walked all the way for the FM ?

Same, I sit down and close my eyes for a while.

But it's shiok because can feel the blood circulating in your body.

21.1k is a big step up from the 10k leh, even I don’t bother about it anytime soon. If 10k is causing you that much strain, just don’t bother. Don’t need gek kiang, can do 10k.

I think better stick to 10km first. Forget HM for the time being.
