Not sure if this is a daft question. For context I dabble a bit in Triathlons and keep coming a bit unstuck on the run. Today for example my run was 30mins slower over a half marathon than I can run, as I ended up walking a lot.
When I’m running my pace is only slightly slower but I feel an overwhelming urge to walk. It’s not and pain/aching in my legs making me stop, and I feel like I’m not able to work hard enough to get out of breath, so I assume I’m just lacking in stamina over the full distance.
Is this a mental issue and I need to MTFU and push past the urge to stop, or is there a physical aspect; or is that just general fitness?
