You WILL do it. When I have tough runs I try to remember a phrase I heard “the body achieves what the mind believes”. You ARE totally capable of it 😊

You will, the previous runs have prepared you for this. Start off slowly, and continue slowly, go slower if you have to. We all, or at least lots of us, felt exactly the way you do now.😬😬🤪

You’ll be fine! Just slow down and slow down again!

You'll absolutely smash it. I've just done that one. I'm still in shock - but if I can do it..... let us know how it goes.
