That's so useful to know, I had assumed it was psychological not physical! Me and a friend were talking about this the other day. I was bemoaning how tired I feel at the beginning of a run and she said she nearly always felt awful for the first two miles, and she's several marathons down so it did make me feel better to know it wasn't just me being lazy!

It happens to everyone. Even Mo Farrer, Micheal Johnson, Paula Radcliffe etc etc. So we are in good company!🀣

I just accept it and wait for the β€˜mmmmm that feels better β€˜ moment. Takes me about 15 mins.
