    You’ve had a great training cycle…until taper. Your legs feel heavy. You feel a pain you never felt before in your training. You wonder if you will be able to achieve your goal.


    In this second episode of a two-part series, we’re tackling the most common sources of runner anxiety that arise before, during, and after a race and sharing how we help athletes separate normal racing stress from legitimate concerns.


    We hope that this episode will give you practical strategies to manage the mental side of racing and build confidence in your process.
