And that's the last of the interval runs done! I have never liked the shorter runs and, in particular, I really dislike the first 4-5 minutes of any run.

Not going to lie, the thought of running 25 minutes in two days from now is a bit daunting. But I can do this! It's just getting my head right. I know my body is there, but my pesky head is the real battle.

Happy running 😊

I have just read both posts and they are really helpful, thanks for the links! Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way 🙂

I am beginning to believe that it is a mental battle as well as a physical one. I’m sure you’ll win the battle with it 👍😁

I hope so! I hope you do, too 😊

You will be fine! Slow right down at the beginning, establish a steady rhythm, have some good podcast or music to take your mind off the passing time if needed, and enjoy the scenery!

I needed to read this! I had a little panic moment tonight thinking about my run tomorrow. Your words mean so much. Thank you! 😊
