Arousal Regulation-Anxiety-Sleep for Runners

Sleep is important for overall well-being. Poor sleep quality can lead to higher levels of mental health disorders, like anxiety and depression. Research shows us that sleep and anxiety are bidirectional (Kroshus et al., 2019) – one effects the other and vice versa. Sleep restriction or sleep deprivation can cause stress levels to increase leading to further cognitive deficits and increases in emotional states.

This workshop will take a deep dive into sleep, anxiety, and arousal regulation. Participants will learn proper sleep hygiene, sleep tips, and arousal regulation tips to help get better sleep, reduce anxiety, and control emotions.

All race times will be verified, age graded and uploaded by the race director the week after each race.

 

What is age grading?

Age grading is a way of analyzing running performance relative to your age and gender. It is based on world record race time data and attempts to estimate the best possible time an athlete can run a certain distance based on their age and gender. By using age grading this “levels” the playing field, allowing older or younger runners to be able to compete equally against those in their 20’s-40’s.

When your race is age graded you will receive a score. At the end of the challenge each of your 4 scores will be added up to give you a final score.

• All who complete the challenge will receive a limited-edition custom zipper hoodie from Upper Park Clothing ($50.00 value)
