256. HELPING WITH RACE NERVES
Worrying is suffering twice :) We have all been there. We all get nervous on race day to an extent. Some suffer from more race day anxiety than others. We care about our performances. We put a lot of time and energy into our training, and we hope that it all pays off on race day. It is good to care about your running, but we don’t want to be so nervous for a race that it makes us miserable! Today we are going to be chatting about ways to find zen and peace in the days and weeks leading up to race day!I like to find what my triggers are and things that really make the race day anxiety worse.
Imposter Syndrome: You don’t have to run a certain time
PRESSURE on ourselves
Running FOR YOURSELF & NOT OTHERS
You aren’t alone in feeling nervous
What are some things that make race day anxiety worse for you?
What are the ultimate fears associated with anxiety. Sometimes it’s the same 1-3 ‘what ifs’ that we continue to circle back to in our mind. If we are able to isolate what exactly we are worried
may happen, we can then ask ourselves ‘realistically, if this did happen, would you be okay?”
1.More confidence
2. Experience racing when things go wrong
Taking the scary monster out of the dark and exposing it
Don’t put pressure on yourself by talking up big goals or oversharing. Some people love pressure: others do not!
Journaling
Talking with someone
Meditation
Trusting your process: you did the work. This is what you do every day
Putting your running in perspective: it is a hobby
Remembering other people are nervous too!
