One thing I have found that has really helped me get through my runs is running to landmarks... It keeps me really focused- and boy do I need it! I find that if my mind wanders I start to struggle, but by keeping that landmark in view it seems much easier!
I'm about to start week three and am really nervous about the three minutes! Not sure I can keep up the pace!

Re: Landmarks!
I find that interesting because I find the total opposite, by focusing on a point I get cheesed off because I don't get there as quickly as I think I should, but if I let my mind wander, I'm there before I realise it. Psychology is a funny thing isn't it? Everyone is different!
Good luck with the rest of the programme.

Re: Landmarks!
I'm with you Janey I focus on a point and do my damdest to get there - I don't always make it but it does help a lot. I am dead chuffed as tonight I ran 8 mins for the first time and I managed it by focussing on landmarks - well trees actually
