How to Overcome Marathon Anxiety and Enjoy a Positive Race Day Experience

To help you have a positive marathon experience, we’re hosting a free pre-race mental skills ‘tune-up’ workshop with the top sports psychologist: Dr Jim Afremow on Thursday October 7th at 4 pm Eastern/3 pm Central.

Is it normal to feel anxious about my marathon?

You are not alone, as the miles reduce during the taper period – anxiety goes up exponentially. With race day approaching, even seasoned marathoners experience a cocktail of negative emotions: self-doubt, angst and fear. You become irrational and every twinge becomes a stress-fracture and you worry about the hundred and one things that could go wrong over 26.2 miles:

·       Have I done enough training?

·       What if I have a gastrointestinal issue?

·       How do I overcome the dreaded ’Wall’ - (I only ran 20 miles)?

The uncertainty around COVID-19 rules has made this year even more stressful.

How do I conquer my fears?

To help you overcome your anxiety and arrive at the start line fully mentally prepared to crush your goals, we’ve persuaded top sports psychologist Dr. Jim Afremow to distill the same mental training playbook he used to coach 17 Olympic champions and share it with you.

What do I do next?

Register now for the free webinar, How To Overcome Marathon Anxiety and Crush Your Race Goals on October 7th at 4 pm Eastern/3 pm Central time. If you can’t make this time – no worries….still register and we’ll send you a recording you can watch before your race.
