Running

Is it usual to be so nervous about a run?

Doing 22 miles tomorrow and I spent all night worrying about it, deciding I have phantom pains everywhere!

No idea why, I've run 19 miles in one go in the last two weeks and I've run for a much greater period of time in the last 3 so whilst it will be challenging its not pushing my limits that much..

Its the fact that you are so ready that is causing the stress. If you were poorly prepared the pressure to succeed would be far less.

At least thats how I read it. I did my last half marathon with an ankle still sprained from a nasty rugby injury only a week previous. TBH it loosened up OK, so was'nt a big deal. But runnig the thing with a 'get out of jail free card' was liberating. Still did 103mins (usually just under 100 for a half).
