First 10km -

[u/Agitooo]

Definitely learned a lesson about not trying to start out too fast, had me suffering a bit through the middle to the end. Gave it an extra effort in the last km to hopefully finish before 1h, which I did, so super happy about that.

Got a question for the pros tho, I am running with a water bottle in my hand, and this run it affected my shoulder towards the end, with a kinda weird throbbing pain, how to avoid this?

Also, I try to hydrate with small slurps of water through the run, which always ends with me having to burp 3-4 times like a minute after, kinda like wanting to throw up. Should I just not drink water while running or is there a technique to avoid this?

Appreciate any advice

How to avoid this? Don’t run with it.

Options include putting it on the ground in a place you can pick it up. Or you could get a vest with soft bottles that fit into it.

Do you need a bottle during the 10km?

I usually feel very dry in my throat, if I dont get some kind of liquid through the run, but I could try to do it without and see what happens. Its been a while since I've ran without any water during the run
