physical.&nbsp;This is never more apparent than the first mile of a run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use positive self-talk to counter any doubts or anxieties that may arise during the first mile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remind yourself of your capabilities, focus on the present moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good way to make it more manageable is to break down the run into smaller, manageable

pre-run routine helps signal to your body that it&rsquo;s time to run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/dynamic-warm-up-stretches-to-do-before-a-run\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5753\">dynamic stretches<\/a>, a short warm-up jog, or a few minutes of mindfulness, having a consistent routine prepares your mind and body for the upcoming physical activity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Routines also provide a sense of familiarity, reducing pre-run jitters and

run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrate adequately before you start, and consider a light snack if your run extends beyond 30 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dehydration and low blood sugar can contribute to early fatigue, making it challenging to push through the first mile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to your body&rsquo;s needs and ensure you&rsquo;re adequately fueled for a successful
