Marathon Nerves

Here's a quick way to handle your nerves on the day before your marathon:

If you are like most people, you will feel as though you are nervous the day before your
marathon. This may be true because your mind will naturally think about how your marathon is going to unfold. It is a good idea to tell yourself that you have done all you can do to get into peak condition and that you are ready. It is also a great idea to keep your mind pre-occupied by either renting a few DVD's or reading a novel you have been wanting to read.

Another reason why you may feel nervous is because your body is in peak physical condition and now you have cut down dramatically on your training. It is therefore natural for your body to want to move and the additional energy may be showing up as a slight twitchiness.

It is therefore a great idea for you to go for a slow 2-3 mile jog on the day before your marathon to get rid of the excess energy from your system. Make sure that you consciously keep your pace slow during this jog and avoid the temptation of having a few final sprints before your big day. The last thing you want to do is get injured the day before you run your marathon.

There are other ways to actively reduce your nerves during your lead-up to the
marathon race and you will find them in `Marathon Bible' by clicking on the following link:

"We could all use a little coaching. When you're playing the game, it's hard to think of everything." -- Jim Rohn

That is especially so with running a marathon, and is exactly why I wanted to write `Marathon Bible'. Finally you will learn exactly how to train for and run a marathon from the coaching in 'Marathon Bible'.
