"Don't be a slave to the distance"

I've been putting a huge amount of pressure on myself and causing anxiety for myself thinking about the distance of the runs I'm doing at the moment in order to get ready to run a half marathon. Yes a half marathon is essentially about a certain distance, but my training has now got a new rhythm thanks to the 'Run with us' coaches at the Run Bristol event today - increase your amuont of time running rather than distance and you will progress, rather than set and distance and then push yourself to run it and feel bad if a) you don't or b) you don't do it in the time you want. This way I can get my body used to running for longer over time and with that will come running faster and covering more ground.
