There are two basic skill to master in long distance running:

Hey Pip,
You'd be proud. I did my first run last week on the treadmill at VIP. Managed to do 2.5kms before stopping.
However, on Saturday at touch, ran across the oval and stopped when out of sight... puffed. All in my head? You bet.
Any tips?
