I've ran for about a year. I'm not very good at pushing myself and making myself hurt/tire for a good time. How do I overcome this obstacle. I want to do a10k pb. Due to weight I am still run walking but want to be faster.

Can you make your run sections longer, even if you say to yourself 10 more paces, then I'll walk? Or can you make sure you march on the walking sections, if you tend to collapse. Rome wasn't built in a day, just keep nudging on in small increments. And come back to tell us how you're doing!
