W9R1 - Mental battle

Hi all,

I just ran for 30 minutes 😁!

It was such a mental battle from the start though! 3 minutes in my mind was saying ‘it’s ok to stop when you need to, it’s too hot’!! But I knew I could do it as I did 28 minutes on Friday. I just kept telling myself ‘you can do this, you can do this’

Hopefully not all my runs will feel like this and I can start to enjoy the actual runs (jogs 🤣) rather than once I’ve finished.
