With marathons on the mind, here are the nine emotions anyone who signs up for a big race will go through this year…

1. Enthusiasm

You’ve signed up and BOOM. The excitement beings. You buy some gear and tell your friends…there’s no other word for it. You are PUMPED for this race.

2. Smug and committed

One month to go. Training is in full-swing. You feel like it’s already in the bag.

3. The nerves creep in

Two weeks to go and realisation of what you’ve signed up for hits you like a brick wall.

4. Fear takes hold

What have you done? You want to back out but you posted your entry on the ‘gram so now you’ve GOT to see it through.

5. Crippling doubt… or butterflies in your belly!

Whatever you want to call it, it’s the night before the race and you’re game set and match ready for race day.

6. Keen to be part of the day

It’s race day. Whatever the outcome, you’re just excited to be there.

7. Strength

You begin. You’re a machine. You’ve got wings. Nothing will stop you. YOU GOT DIS!

8. Accomplished

Running is part of you now. You are one with the track. Mo Farah ain’t got NOTHING on you… How long is actually left though?

9. EUPHORIA!

There is simply no better feeling than passing that finish line.
