Confidence: Building Routines to Reduce Anxiety

Anxiety: Nervousness, fears ballooning with an anticipated threat, increased emotional and muscular tension.

Self-confidence: “The belief that one has the internal resources, particular abilities, to achieve success.” (Vealy, 2019).

Building self-confidence in running is the intersection of your thoughts and your physical performance.

Some athletes ooze so much confidence that it is palpable, even annoying. Their confidence is reflected in everything they do.

If you are not one with a great amount of self-confidence, or even one that does have high level of self-confidence, this workshop will help you tap into the emotions and anxiety that drive performance physically and mentally.

This is the 5th and final workshop of this series. If you want to learn more about this topic or any of the previous four workshops we would love to see you this Sunday at Fleet Feet!

When: Sunday September 21st, 2025

Time: 9:00am

Location: Fleet Feet Chico

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)
