Overcoming Mental Barriers in Long Runs
Author's summary: Mental tips help push through long runs.
Don't let your mind hold you back from running farther or longer. When I reached the 10-mile mark of my 12-mile long run, I felt a sudden urge to stop running. I took a moment to assess my body at a crosswalk near my old high school, waiting for the traffic light to change.
- My feet hurt, but it was bearable.
- My knees and hips felt good.
- I noticed discomfort in my shoulders, where I usually hold tension, so I rolled them out.
A misaligned nozzle on my new hydration bladder prevented me from getting water, contributing to my desire to stop. Despite this, I knew I could run longer; I just didn't want to.
