Loved this Cait! I still get scared when I get up and go for a 4.5 mile run before work! I need to recalibrate what is scary evidently! Need to get me some longer weekend runs to shed those scary scales and just learn to enjoy my run again.
I do have two races coming up soon so maybe that will help me forget my fear.
Thanks Cait, for making me hunt down my courage 🙂
first of all, fear is ALL relative and no matter the distance!! but you CAN rock those runs and i am stoked to hear you’re looking that fear dead in the eye and not blinking!! 🙂 #HUGEchickpeacheerleaderforeverandalways
I don’t know why your posts don’t always shoe up in my BlogLovin’ feed.
Anyway, I love these tips – so true that a set distance or time can be intimidating. When Hunter was training for his half we got past the big number by breaking it into a 5 minute run with a 1 minute walk. I made him keep the walk fast but it helped mentally to just run 5 minutes at a time:)
My record run (with some walking) is 44 miles. A straight run is 37. I’m hoping to make that number 50 one day!!!
how did i know we’d be on the same page…such a great way you helped teach Hunter this important tip of running. breakin’ it down mentally! 🙂
PS- you will CRUSH 50 one day!
Great tips!! These are so applicable for me, as I work my way through the Hansons Marathon Method training program. I am almost halfway through. This training plan has me running 6 days per week and more mileage per week than I have ever done before. Plus I have some monster (for me) track workouts on Tuesdays, and eventually I’ll have “strength” workouts building up to 3 x 2 miles and 2 x 3 mile repeats. I will definitely be employing these tips!
