Well, there's the solution :) Make a game out of it. Some find it helpful to reward themselves if they can reach some sort of goal (under X minutes per km) and not otherwise, then you have something of a game.

Otherwise, if you're a bit competitive, find another competitive friend and compete who can run for longest without giving up. Loser buys the other one beers for evening.

I run Bay To Breakers done years, and it's vastly easier surrounded by people who also run.

Even though they're complete strangers, there is some social pressure to keep going.

I'm sure a running group could also work for me.
