KM to miles

[Chris41968]

hi all thought I'd share this, been running about 9 months started at 19 stone am now 14 stone, graduated couch to 5K. A few months ago and am training for a 10K, been stuck in a bit of a rut doing 5K every time, thinking that'll do, started using the Nike running app which is really good, anyway tried a little trick this morning and changed the KM counter to miles and it felt much easier, did 5 miles and didn't feel any more tired than 5K, just proves your mind is what holds you back

Well done you, that's a terrific weight loss! Mind over matter definitely rings a bell, 5 miles and you did it. Let us all know when you reach the 10k, you should be oh so proud of yourself right now.

That's really interesting, I will remember that tip when I get as far as you. Thanks and good luck with 10k, or 10 miles ??!!

Hi Chris. I've been more or less where you were and are. Your head is indeed what holds you back. Last weekend I did a 10k race in just over 1 hour which would have been unthinkable 18months ago. Find a goal, make a plan and go for it. Nothing is impossible and whatever you want from this programme and from life in general is achievable.

Make it happen.

That's a great tip. And you're right - it is so much a mental thing. Fab job on the weight loss Chris!

Conversely, a long time ago I changed mine from miles to km so that it would bleep at me more often - every km rather than every mile! As you rightly say, whatever you can do to get your head in the right place is worth doing.
