When I started running I couldnt listen to music because I had to focus on my breath ( out out out innnnnn) A good way to get over a mental mileage block is to run very slowly, like way slower than your normal pace but still at a run or jog. That allows you to reach mileage goals for the first time and then you can be like " see body? You are fine. Now relax!" Afyr that you can pick up your speed :-)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383372991124342364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030582788342626775.post-80779624519997549992011-02-19T09:21:50.830-05:002011-02-19T09:21:50.830-05:00Is there anything specific that you know of that k...Is there anything specific that you know of that keeps you from running the full 2 miles straight? <br /><br />I know when I started running last summer I would have said it was my lungs, but all that turned out to be was that I had to mentally get used to the fact that slightly labored breathing is normal and I can in fact keep it up for a good amount of time. So it was really my brain that held me back.Kurt @ Becoming An Ironmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865313303891773591noreply@blogger.com
