Most runners share the common experience: a jittery, anxious feeling as you line up before your race. Pre-race nerves happen - and while some nerves can be a performance enhancer, too much anxiety can wreck your race. We provide guidance for managing pre-race anxiety in this episode as we draw upon our experiences of working with hundreds of runners. 

Discussion points include:

What it means if you have pre-race nerves

Why you want to work on controlling excessive pre-race anxiety

How to calm yourself down before a race

The value of race day routines

How you can use tune-up races to work through pre-race jitters

How to relax the night before and the morning of a race
