Only warm up done as you know. I’m very embarrassed to have had an anxiety attack at track! Like you said I would imagine nobody noticed. Having a very bad time with Anxiety and Depression at the moment. All I can do is keep turning up and see if I can get through it. I really don’t want to have to pause my plan as I was doing so well.

No need to be embarrassed at all. The fact you’re turning up and giving it a go is great. As I say if there is anything else I can do to help. Possibly partner you up with someone. I’m not going to pretend I understand, because I don’t, but I would like to try and help if I can. But if any of my suggestions are just unrealistic then let me know. Something along the lines of trying to team you up with someone. So even if it’s just let’s do the first rep and go from there. But again, I appreciate it’s not always that easy. You’re doing great with the plan and running can be the best thing for our mental well being, but I know sometimes the hardest thing is getting out there or starting in the first place. Happy to chat about it if you want. I think you’re probably a lot stronger than you realise. Crikey you’ve run a marathon. So try and give yourself that credit and times when it’s hard, self talk like “I am strong, I am a marathon runner, I can do this”. Plus at track I am always there to support if need be.
