what is your technique for training when you hit the painful parts of the workout?

If your workouts are frequently so difficult that you lose motivation, perhaps you're going about it wrong. Lots of people pick up the "no pain, no gain" school of running in high school. But what works for a brief time in high school is not necessarily the best way to keep running indefinitely, particularly if you're interested in longer distances.

My question is: what is your technique for training when you hit the painful parts of the workout? I'm sure there's got to be some good self-motivational tactics out there.
