Mental block with running/jogging...?

Jeremiah F · #1 01-08-2007, 20:40

Hi Everyone,

I took up jogging again about 3 months ago and have found that I have a huge mental block when it comes to the activity--namely, I start to psych myself out a short distance in and it completely kills the chances of me being able to extend my running distance as I keep having to tell myself to stop thinking about how far it is, how my breathing is, etc.

I've tried listening to music (which helps a little, but not much), tried keeping my mind on other things, but neither seems to help. Anyone have any suggestions? I really feel like this isn't a physical limitation, it's all in my head.

try running with another person that will not let you stop...or try running with your eyes on the ground so you dont relize how far your going

Running is undignified and dangerous.
It is not an ideal exercise and is only suited to certain body-types. Perhaps your subconscious mind is telling you to find another activity.
