On a whim I decided to sign up for a 5k run.
A little about me, I have been running for maybe 5 months now. I can run a mile easy. I have only been able to run 2 miles without stopping once. After that 2 mile run, I have never been able to run that again. I don't know if my body is rejecting running. But it sucks! I know my body is fully physically capable to run 2 miles. But my BRAIN wont let me. It's a tough fight.
I remember watching TBL and thinking, its not psychological at all. But it really is. Well, for me I know it is.
Anyway, it just feels like my body wont be able to keep up. When I walk I feel like I can run, I'm not tired its just not my brain and body cooperating.
Any tips on how to get past this point?
I have a 5k to run Feb. 12th, and I would hate to end up walking it when I KNOW I can run it!
Help!?
