Forrest went over nerves as we got closer to race day.
-
Pre-race jitters are normal – Whether it’s a 5K or a marathon, nerves are a sign that you care and you’re ready to perform.
-
Tapering can feel like you’re “losing fitness” – Less mileage might trick your brain, but it’s part of the process.
-
Trust the taper – Your body is absorbing the training, healing microtears, and preparing to peak.
-
You’ve already done the hardest part – Long runs, tough intervals, and early mornings.
Race day is the celebration of all that work.
