I seem to be talking a lot about my London Duathlon thing so I will make this my last post on the subject.

As I approached the end of the first run I was beginning to struggle a little and I said to myself: 'The second run is going to be hard'.

The moment I did that I stopped myself and said, 'No! It's going to be easy' and from then on I got myself into a rhythm of running where I chanted 'Easy, Easy, Easy...' and while I did still have some problems in the second run my running stride definitely lengthened when I used that technique.

If I continued saying that it really hurt or I was really tired would that have helped me? Not a chance.

Words are powerful things so we must always be aware of the language we use. The right words DO make a difference.

You just have to BELIEVE!
