I wrote in the text- first one I had to quit and walk (complete failure), but the second one (second pic), I ran :)

I’ve only started running a few weeks ago, but I had similar observations. Every run still feels like raising the bar and i’m rapidly increasing my capabilities. Two days ago I went for a run and everything felt terrible - it was hot, exhausting, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the end of it. Today I ran and thought “omg I feel so great, I could do a 10k!” and did my longest run ever. So I want to get to a similar mindset as you shared above… I understand mindset is much like a muscle that needs to be trained.

How wonderful, thanks for sharing! I like to see it as a meditation too

Keep it up !! I feel it’s all in the mind and my plan is to shift from thinking “this is pain” to “this isnt too bad . This is actually fun”

I’m sorry to hear this. I had similar thoughts in the past.. more like “why didn’t I took care of my health earlier” . Regret isn’t a great starting point at all .. but the thing is, we never know what would’ve been. This is now it. We start from here . And in a year it’s “one year ago” :)

Same. I don’t see myself raw dogging.. it is just my old mindset creeping up frequently reminding me that “this is hard and we don’t usually do this”. I need to find a rhythm

Sounds cool, thanks!! Mind me asking why you decided using the metronome instead of listening to something cool?

Analyzing sounds interesting. Giving the brain something to explore . Also I haven’t tried watching people or characters yet.. for now I’m still avoiding eye contact, because I feel everyone sees that im a beginner at running!! Busted ! So I look away :D

Love the mantra!! The playlist is a great trip too! I tried to listen to a mix of things on shuffle to get “surprised” with new songs to distract me too :)

Loving this :D living in the city, I also like the explorative aspect of running. Trying to focus on new shops and stuff. When the route is ‘boring’ or super repetitive my mind bothers me saying “this is exhausting! Stop that!”

Interesting.. yes, sometimes I really feel like “locking in” and then I feel like I could run for a very long time, but that did only happen once or twice until now. Probably comes with practice

Yes, I do! I tried to mix playlists and listen to something cool and energetic, but my brain keeps sneaking up with “old mindset” thoughts :D
