It won't feel great to fall, but it won't be worse than all the stress and exhaustion you're experiencing just hanging there on the first bar. — Lysa TerKeurst

Remember that failure is part of the process of successful running. Performance is a roller coaster; to think otherwise is irrational and will cause you much stress and discouragement.
