Brunski - I find that you just need to have a positive phrase and repeat when the going gets tough, at VLM last year mine was 'I can' it just leaves no room for the negative thoughts, others I use are 'stay strong, stay comfortable' and 'I want this'.

I just work out how many steps left in the race (720 per km) and count them down while staring into the abyss of pain...

Thanks both!
I like those LMH, I might give one of them a go tomorrow in my HM.
JDA, wow, never heard of that....I don't think I've got enough fingers for that one. The abyss of pain would be a good name for a heavy metal band (if it isn't already)!

In case anyone was wondering, that was a joke....
Good luck Brunski, suppose you must be hoping to be close to 1:20 overall?

I feel your pain Baz. Remarkably similar 19:10 for me at Falkirk today. Felt like a sub-19 effort and I know I was pushing hard, as I nearly spewed on the finish line.

I pushed my heart rate higher today than for my 19:10 seven weeks ago which I think is a good sign. I guess though st this stage it isn’t 5k speed I am looking for.

Alloa Half (in the right weather conditions) would’ve given you a far better indicator and confidence boost than a Parkrun Baz, so it comes down to keeping the faith now!

Cheers Chris, yes the weather looks good!
JDA yep, 1:20 is the target, will see how it goes on the day. Went for a gentle parkrun this morning but got mud way round the first lap and realised it was quite fun floating last people. Managed to finish in 2nd in around 19 mins. It's a very hilly course and my best there is only 18:40....think I may have pushed a bit hard toward the end but felt great overall 😃
