Thanks for the help

So after reading all your advice I added the extra km at the start of my run. So when it got tough, it was tough on part of the route I'd ran many times and so my brain allowed me to plod on. Rather than saying STOP.

I reduced my pace from 8:20 mins/km to just over 9 mins/km. I also took water with me which must of helped.

Great run Malc😊...

A shorter run next time out? 😊x

[Malc73 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Yes definitely, I just needed to prove to myself I could get past the 7km mark x

Well done! Now you're well on the way to 10k. Glad we could help, sometimes it's just little things that make the difference. Lots of mind games!

Yeah indeed, there is more to this running nonsense than I thought lol. I learn all the time. Thanks again.
