does anyone ever get the feeling that you can kind of fenc off contractions?

sometimes if i consentrate i can get past 3 minutes without contrations (if im lucky, my pb is 3:15) but then just the urge to breathe gets to me so i guess what im say is that i have some long holds (for me) where i dont have any contractions

oh, and i was working on some ways to get my times past 2:45 to be less stressful i found that if i tell my body that the feeling of a contration is good then they seem to be only an inconvenince (sp) instead of a hassle/pain (i carried this over from biking, during long heard sprints if you tell yourself that that burning feeling in your legs feel nice you can concentrate on going farther)


oh well just a couple of mind tricks that work for me see if they work for you
