Valencia Marathon TRAINING SERIES: what is MARANOIA and how to deal with it?

[@sagsdothedu]

Migraines are savage. I used to suffer badly like you with vomiting and total wipe out. Its got better with age. Hope you feel better and the niggles don’t develop. All the best

Hope Yorkshire goes well. I know a few doing it and they're all in various stages of maranoia. XC for me the rest of the year, then it'll be a debut at Manchester in the spring. I thought if I can make it through an XC (part)season then a marathon won't seem so bad 😂

I must have had maranoria for years , the times I lined up at marathons and felt shocking and not in the groove on the start line before the off with all of the build up over a weekend at London for example or was it just being nervous ?

Does the Yorkshire marathon route run over 26.2 miles, i found i did 0.5 mile extra at london. Would like to aim to scrape sub 3 next week 🤞

[@daveallemby9330]

If you ran around runners at London , you would have done extra distance anyway

[@nicholasdunkley9620]

@daveallemby9330 yes true but this time I tried to stick to the blue line and I started fairly early so minimal weaving

[@stevemozzie6497]

I suffer from Race-anoia. Racing infrequently doesn't help. I've had training sessions that would have produced cracking times for me, but .... Scarborough 10k next week and I know what I could do on a good day, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

When I get like that I just treat the race as a training session 🏃🤞
