Being very anxious I wonder how Must change the Approach to the race. Does an anxious person have to do an aggressive taper totally eliminating integrity or does he have to maintain high intensity? Do you have to rest on Friday or Saturday? 😅

@@Jj88Im great question 🙋♂️! Can’t really give a definite answer but if you are very anxious and it affects your performance negatively, I would add yoga, meditation and perhaps experiment (on less important races) on ice bathing to stimulate your “rest and digest” parasympathetic nervous system instead of “hitting it hard” with intensity until race day if that only gets you hyped up. This is where each individual is their best teacher, as we spoke in the episode about taper. On the race day you may find it beneficial to meditate and keep calm instead of listening to music that gets you excited. Calming breath techniques like the box breathing can help you keep you nerves in check as well. Hope this helps 😀

@@Jj88Im Sunday race? You could have a full rest day on Friday or Saturday depending what you prefer. Many like to have a short “shake out “ run the day before
