With the Peninsula Marathon on Sunday I am being haunted by the usual suspects:
- Nerves
- Paranoia over my runny nose
- Doubt as to whether I’ve put enough training in
- Bloating which is the by-product of my carbo-load supplement
I seem to be firm friends with this list but I know I’m not alone. What are the few things you battle with before a big race?

Totally normal, I think we all stress about those things before a race. My 2 bigs added worries are:
1) am i going to have a bad running day and hate every minute
2) pls can i get through without having to make a loo stop
But there is no better feeling when you reach the finish line and realize that all that stress was for nothing and that you had a great run
How did the race go?
