Has anyone tried using Core Stix equipment. My Dr recommended it and the reviews look good, but I'm having trouble finding a gym that has it or people with experience using it.
right nothing wrong in making a call or walking home.
Instead of measuring how far why don't you go by time. I do all my training by time and it has worked. build it up by 10 minutes more a run. So if you know you can run 1 hour than add 10 minute. you would do 35 minute and 35 minute back. than you add 10 more to that the following week. Just an idea.
If you like when it gets closer to train for your half marathon I would share you my training schedule that I did for my first. Just need to have an idea on how long you think it will take you
I do intervals and sprints and try to vary things up. Your trainer sounds great! My partner tries to give me the same sort of advice as it sounds like your trainer did :)
I am definitely proud of myself with this. As I tell people, 3 years ago, if given the choice between being eaten by a bear and running, I would have opted for the death by bear. Now I'm running races! I've got my first half marathon in March! It's super exciting :D
What you say your challenge is definitely sounds like mine. I've got that fear that I'll just collapse and NOT be able to make it over the finish line (or back home) but, really, worst case is that I have to walk. REALLY worst case is that I have to call home for a ride :P Either way, it's not really that awful, right? :)

May I ask do you try and run non stop or do you take walk breaks.
I had one trainer once say to me that I was stuck in a box and I needed to get myself out of the box. I would not push myself in my runs and my workout. It was like there were was something stopping me. She pushed me a lot and I was able to come out of the box. I am not a fast runner and I will never be fast but I am faster than what i was and now I know I need to work on holding that speed for longer time.
The hardest thing I find and it sounds like you a bit is how much do you give but still have enough to finish and cross that line. That is the hard part to learn.
Try going further away from home the worst that can happen is you will have to walk.
It will come together for you. Keep up the good work you did an amazing job with your race and be proud

It was a 5k (the same 5k that was my first ever race 2 years before!) and my time was 51:30. Two years ago it was 55 and I was worried I wouldn't beat the race cut off or that I'd die. This year I found myself thinking, "you can run faster than you're running, you just need to get over whatever fear you have that's stopping you."
I think I'm afraid of running faster and collapsing because I can't move anymore. Which sounds silly when I type it out, but it's the truth. Most of the time I'm training, though, it's in my development and I'm never more than a mile away from home and there's normally someone at home that I could call to get me if I were desperate. So I need to start working on pushing myself more and not caring so much about reaching my limit. That's really scary for me for some reason though. :/
