Don't count yourself out before the race.
-
After the race, you can hear Sifan Hassan’s pre race thoughts.

She was scared.

She was throwing up.

She was questioning why she is even running the marathon in the first place.

Even though, she felt all these things, she still had the courage to go out there.

And she even surprised herself at the end of the race.

Even if you don’t feel great before the race, you never really know what will happen during it.

$When you are injured, but have a race coming up “It’s just a hairline fracture” Navigating running injuries is FRUSTRATING, especially when you have put so much time preparing for a race. As runners, we tend to “play down” our injuries and symptoms. We hope that it will get us back to running sooner. However, this may lead to a more aggressive plan that may exceed what the body should be doing at the current moment. And end up leading to a slower recovery. As clinicians working with runners, we also tend to do the SAME when helping a runner through the injuries. We may be “overly” optimistic to help gain the runner’s trust initially. However, when expectations do not match reality, the runner may end up being more frustrated in themselves as things are “taking longer than they should.” The best outcomes come from: Transparency from BOTH the runner and the clinician. By giving clear information, it will help map out the best way to navigate the injury based on the runner’s short term and long term goals. Clear communication is key! - Keep in mind that this is for educational purposes only. This does not replace medical advice. - Footage from: Grown Ups 2$
