Be prepared for a (mental) low point. You may wonder why you're doing this and may want to give up.
I usually get this at 60-70% distance and it can be easy to give in to (especially if you're on your own). I've now learned to push on for an hour and then re-assess by which point I'm usually feeling much chirpier and will carry on to the finish.
