Well done! You are at the stage now where it is all really a mental game. Your legs are fit enough, your breathing is probably sorted, but those gremlins will be working flat out to convince you it's all too much. Congratulations on defeating them this time - keep it up. You only have 7 more runs to that graduation badge!
