Marathon Composure

Here's a quick tip to stop your form from dropping in the later stages of your race:

As you pass the half-way mark of the marathon, you may find that you start becoming frustrated at the slightest things - such as a competitor appearing to be sitting directly on your shoulder, or the sun being at an awkward angle, or even just getting too plain sweaty.

Becoming frustrated and annoyed can have a disastrous effect on your performance because it
will cause your muscles to become tense and restrict your full range of motion.

If this happens to you, realize that it is only because you are becoming tired that you are
allowing these things to annoy you and that normally these external events wouldn't even
cause you the slightest bit of distress.

Simply reminding yourself of this is usually enough to allow you to let go of the `annoying'
circumstance and instead focus on your race.

it. they're just too pessimistic to believe that they themselves can do it. Let me tell you
now - you can!
