[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone's different mentally, OP. Whereas you're trying to avoid out-and-backs, I always liked those when training because it was a physical, visual demarcation that "this is farther than I've ever gone before!" But YMMV (literally!).

I agree with PP that a curated playlist of songs that motivated me really helped as I trained for the half. There were times I felt like crap, but the music made me keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Best of luck to you!! You can do it![/quote]

I am the music poster. Because of time reasons, I run almost exclusively on my Peloton Tread+ (the one they are finally selling again). What an amazing training device. I have the same feeling about out and backs, except in my case it is the videos. I have blown through all the 90 and 60 minute content multiple times. I have been doing my 1:30 long runs in Oslo Norway the last few weeks.

Another option OP is to mix up your long run. The purpose behind polarized training is mostly to avoid being injured. Follow your plan, but don't be worried about doing something like a base pace and up-tempo pace on repeat. I have that in my plan right now. So - 10 minutes warm up, then 3 up-tempo followed by 7 base, repeat that a total of 7 times for a total of 80 minutes. [/quote]

I like this options. Thank you![/quote]
