Hello! How’s it going? this week is flying by for me! any individual else? I’m incredibly busy and then had a mini-fail with the Run Camp emails when one of them didn’t send… and the next one goes out based on the previous so it was about to be a domino situation, but I think it’s fixed.

Since I’m working on a lot of projects ideal now I planned a incredibly easy dinner courtesy of the crockpot. This is seriously the easiest dinner ever and only requires 4 ingredients. Boom! I’m going to post the recipe next week when I’m all caught up on things.

This is the world’s easiest pozole. and it’s so cold here – soup is so great and comforting. This was exactly what I needed last night.

All this productivity requires some sweet fuel too…

I have an epic package of Lindt chocolates… the dark chocolate that’s in the black wrapper is the BEST. Seriously.

 

Now it’s time to talk about common running fears and how to get rid of them.

Today we’re talking about overcoming your running fears.

I made a video with some of my thoughts on taking care of fears and self doubt when it pertains to running. It’s something I have struggled with and it’s something I still struggle with! This is an ongoing challenge, but something we must face and work on. Self-doubt sucks.

Common Running fears include:

I don’t look like a runner.

I’m not really Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Australia a runner because I haven’t run a certain distance or am slow.

What if I want to quit?

I’m not going to be able to finish.

I’ll be the last one to finish the race.

I’ve gotten questions and worries from readers on so lots of different worries on this topic. Running a new distance, just starting out, signing up for a race… these are all scary things.

It’s fine to be afraid. often you can’t get rid of that so you need to step forward scared. but you can do it.

How to get rid of Running Fears:

1.  identify exactly what your concern is – name it, write it down or tell someone.

If it sounds absurd to say, maybe it is – maybe this isn’t a valid worry but something you’ve grown in your mind.

Tell someone else. write it down. This takes away some of the power it has over you.

It’s kind of like ‘know thy enemy’ where your concern is the enemy. The a lot more you know about it the a lot more you have the advantage to get rid of it.

 

2. acknowledge any aspects of your concern that might be valid.

Examples:

I will be the last to finish the race.

It takes me 2 hours to run 3 miles, that’s not even running.

I’m going to look dumb and chubby running a race with tons of incredibly skinny people.

What if I get lost?

 

3. identify what you can do to stop it from happening.

Examples with the previous fears:

I will be the last to finish the race. –> Train more/harder to get a little faster.  choose a race that gives you plenty of time to finish. sign up to train with a running group to find running buddies that run at your pace. find a race that lets walkers start early.

It takes me 2 hours to run 3 miles, that’s not even running. –> If you run – you’re a runner. There’s no mile time requirement to call yourself a runner.

I’m going to look dumb and chubby running a race with tons of incredibly skinny people. –> It is awesome and unusual and inspiring to actually go to a big race and see all the different people! Runners are people of ALL ages and fitness levels and body types and abilities and colors and back-stories.

What if I get lost?  -> look up the course and take a map or write it down or use your phone. This concern can be figured out.

 

4. realize that even if your concern comes true – it won’t be that bad.

Even if all the fears I discussed above come true – you’re last and slow and look a little dumb and get lost –> so what. You are running a race! You set a goal and went after it. good for you!!

If everything goes wrong and you have to call Uber to give you a ride home and you put your race # upside-down and have a hole in the crotch of your pants… who CARES? You. but everyone else is self involved and not anxious about how fast you are or what you weigh or whatever.

And if those things happen – at least you are setting goals and going for them. That’s what life is about! Do something.

 

5. list your strengths.

The best way to get rid of your fears is to remind yourself of your strengths. YOU are awesome. You are capable of incredible things. You have this goal in your head because there is a part of you deep down that knows you can do it. So – do it.

Make a list of yourstrengths. write out head to toe how your body parts (heart included) are going to help you. write out any personality trait, experience or previous accomplishment proves you got this.
