Parkrun- feeling nervous!

[Joh2020]

Today will be my 3rd Parkrun & I don't know why but I'm shaking with fear! I've completed the other 2 with good times but I'm not really bothered about times, I just want to finish. Why do I feel so nervous?

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Tell us when you get back, Joh................

..............Well?

Hope all went according to plan

I tell myself I am not shaking with fear but buzzing with adrenaline. Type "TED stress" into Google and it brings up a great TED talk about how to make stress your friend. It is your body priming itself to perform. Hope it went well

[Joh2020 Graduate]

I will, thank you! It was absolutely fine, quite nice in the rain. I don't know why I was so wound up! Thanks for your support. I'll be back buzzing with adrenalin next week!

Well done Joh! Just did my 2nd

[Girlyswot Graduate]

Well done on your run today ! I have also done my third parkrun today.

[Joh2020 Graduate]

Thank you for all your responses, I looked up the TED clip. It would explain why I was so compelled to reach out to fellow C25Kers & why this forum is so important!

It really makes you think, doesn't it? I suppose some people could argue it is "mumbo jumbo" but it certainly makes me feel more positive about stressful situations so I will willingly believe everything she says
