Beyond Limit: Overcoming Worry in Running Including Training Runs and Races

Worry is a natural part of life, including running. This means your daily training walk / run, your long run of new or newly increased distances, and races. It's normal to feel worry or concern about making the distance. NERVES are normal. Can I finish a marathon? Was my training enough? Can I actually do the long-run distance for this week. It's so long! Can I run a 5k? The key is to not let worry dominate your thoughts and feelings. We discuss controlling the controllables related to running. Remember the timeless words of Dale Carnegie, "Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." Visit https://www.runningwithgrit.com for information on running over age 40.
