Get Running Forums

Lord give me strength I don't think I can do it !!!

Oh yes you can, if I can do it then so can you honestly
i now find the long runs easier than the ones with breaks in, go figure LOL
I think like the majority of everyone on here we all started as non runners and slowly but surely we/you are getting there.
chin up and keep running, if you feel you re struggling just drop yr pace down a little and remember its not a race so take yr time

I agree! You might surprise yourself!

The intervals did seem harder after the 20 minute run. Remember your body "clicks" after a certain point and then it's just keeping your limbs moving, one after the other. Just reach the click and you're home free.

Don't forget your body's been working up to this point too! It's ready!

wohooooooooooooooooo, just finished my 20 minutes run and it was good!
I'm completely soaked, as it started to rain heavily during the second half of the run, but I think there are also some tears from happiness in between all the water on my shirt

Good luck Nikberneyfuller, I am sure that you can do it just as well!

Congrats, Liz! You did it!

Nick, don't let yourself believe that negativity! You absolutely CAN do it! Slow down to a crawl if you have to, but don't give up!
