Following from Instructor57 s comment, as a runner you need to drink a minimum of 2.5 -3 litres of fluid each and every day, running or not, as mentioned in the guide.

Going forward, given your high average heart rate, you might want to ease up just a little on that pace, to put it more into the aerobic range.
