Nowadays my long run usually at least 8km or 1.5 hrs i will carry a bottle of 100 Plus Pro to sip along the way to get enough hydration, electrolytes, energy and protein. It makes a huge difference especially early in the morning when no time/chance to eat heavy meal or drink alot of water to recover from night time lack of water. Sometimes 5km run in the late afternoon I also bring my 100 Plus Pro to ensure every thing is good. Very kiasi one.

Wah late afternooner also ah (say 5-5.30pm)...same as sales69.
2023 that time i tried to "TT" a 10k (coz of AHM 2023 mah) and 7th to 8th K i was feeling light headed, hot day yes but it was 6+ pm already so no sun exposure to even increase heat absorption (heat index temp is based on shade temps).......i know you know the standard feeling, sometimes extra motivated and right after work just decide to hoot. Didnt make it to the 10th KM, light headed.
Not sure was due to hydration or heat, probably more of the heat.


5pm thereabouts, it is possibly still 40 deg C heat index on the track one.
2.4K at that kind of low 3:00 min/km pace is probably around the limit. I know AI puts 5k and 10k distances at fast paces to be potentially dangerous.

I take those bai hua se cao shui. 2 cans 1000mg of sodium. You think advisable?

Ya different preference. Guess I'm spoiled by soft soft Plaid 1.

Plaid 2 firmness does have its use. More ground feel, responsive, then come the propulsion.

I did my fastest hill sprints with it. Felt like there's a floating propulsion for lack of better word.

Should work very well for your pace.

I don't have Plaid 1 can only compare with plaid 1.5 haha. Yeah the floating propulsion is real

I asked chatgpt. Doesn't seem to have enough electrolytes. Moreover electrolytes are not only sodium. But it's good for cooling and anti inflammation.

Hi can a beginner with sub 7.30m/km run finish a maratron?

Of coz can, same..... if yours is the Cool brand, that means it is from Himalayan salt. Probably then has a bit of potassium in it also coz himalayan salt. (sweat is is 4-5 times more sodium than potassium)

But 1000mg of sodium that means you are really perspiring a lot, for a lot sodium sweater that might be closer to 2L worth of sweat. Midpoint is 1L. High sodium sweaters maybe just over 500ml of sweat.
If you just ate a salty meal and it's not really a long session then consider just drinking plain water.

Today the weather is cooler. Instead of running at the stadium. I went to Jurong lake park for run . To cover the whole park running including the Chinese garden , japanese garden and the rest the route in the park. It is about 8km..I have to run 2.5 loops to make a HM distance. I wanted to run leisurely and since the weather is cloudy, I pushed myself and ran a 5.17mins/km pace !

well done!

Got 2 types, the HSC brand most probably not enough potassium if talking about isotonic drinks speak .
The Cool brand shd be ok, coz made from Himalayan salt.

For me no money to bai, so i get from food.

Definitely with enough training such that u can last the full marathon on that pace or even slightly slower. https://runhive.com/tools/pace-chart/marathon

The pace is about 5:16 to complete which is well within singapore stan chart marathon cut off at 7 hr 30 mins

got 4 brands i think in SS

got 1 is 1 for $1. from china. 500mg sodium each

The pokka one is 100mg sodium each. surprisingly low

47k of walking never go toilet ie most likely is solid yellow even if you go release after event, must take care.......
Walking is less energy efficient wrt mileage than running.......
Not drinking enough liao.

This morning still ok, no real sun exposure coz of solid cloud cover, after that is rain in late morning.
But since your event was yesterday (we all know how warm yesterday was), wah lao i think of what you went through 6.30am to 6.30pm i also shiver.

Bro, the weather super hot ..
But still manageable.
Most of us managed to finish.
Tough but will join again next year.

Wah so many...... i just know the first one, most common and super established old brand.
Second one also somtimes come across.

The lao peng last time reservist in the year 2000s that time a lot drink this in addition to 100 plus. Not sure nowadays if people still drink in army/reservist. heh.....

i scare i no energy mah, lol nv do LSD b4. longest run last time was about 10 + km nia. walk b4 52km.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Wah so many brands......never even seen before.

Oh yeah got this one also. But generally i dont touch this brand for its other drinks, accidentally bought one before (other flavours) in a kopitiam and sucks to the core....... some unscrupulous kopitiams would try their luck one, cheap ass stuff but charge same $1.70-1.80 price. Good old capitalism

Call me low SES but I'd rather go toilet and drink from the tap.

 

[xllms]

I think less than 1 hour dont need any electrolyte drinks , but most of the endurance athletes that I know consume very little water for some unknown reason

Concur, same for me as a rule of thumb. Although if i run a HM, 2-2.5hr, also don’t replenish in between until i finish. Perhaps with replenishment in between will help. Yet to try to know the difference. But I will usually drink approx. 0.5-1litre of water before i start my run.

 

[xllms]

The weather was super hot.
Each checkpoint, I drank whole water bottle n refill.
Throughout the walk, nvr go toilet.

when one perspire buckets in super hot humid weather, always good to replenish water and be aware of one’s physical condition, eg. any signs of fatigue, giddiness, etc
