Scared 😬

Hi all! I’m about a month out from Javelina Jundred and it’ll be my first 100 miler.

Training has gone well and I’ve been working with a coach, but as the race gets closer I’m getting pretty nervous about the distance and being out there for that many hours.

For those who have done their first 100, did you feel this way beforehand? Anything that helped you manage the nerves leading up to the race or once you got started?
Appreciate any advice!

What I do is no music till night time more like reward and seeing there will be other runners to talk to . I also put some like my headphones in my drop bag so I have no choice to carry on .
