Am I screwed for my race tomorrow?

Probably the ice cream 😂

Sounds like the flu. Check your temperature and see if you have a fever.

No fever, and I feel pretty normal. A couple people felt a bit sick after the workout due to the heat. Just a mild upset stomach and dead legs.

who/cares

It's probably just nerves, tbh. Just have the most restful night possible.

You did a “tough” workout in the heat (?) on Tuesday? Your race is tomorrow?

Not a combo I would do. Moderate workout at most a full week before race. And light stuff up to 2 days before. Light jogging day before—or not.

You're over-analyzing this. And because of that, you will do poorly.

You’re lactose intolerant

I get out and run, you will do fine.

Maybe you’re sick, maybe you will have the race of your life. I used to spend too much time thinking about how crappy I felt, and I think the more I thought about it, the more it came true. Small things that I could have run through became a big deal. One day I sort of snapped and just before a race I got into a food stand line with the parents. While the other guys were bouncing up and down, I bought a cup of coffee. I enjoyed a few sips and handed the cup to my girlfriend and said, “hold this.” I went up to the line and my race went great. I’m not sure swapping coffee out for strides is the ideal pre-race routine, but for me, leaning into a little confident detachment may have been what I needed.

You NEVER have perfect conditions. Either you aren't perfect or the weather is off or something else. Unless you think you will get hurt or have a more important race closely following that will be impacted by running this race, go ahead and do your best. You will be surprised what you can overcome. I ran Boston with fatigue caused by a head cold. I bonked, but it only cost me 7 minutes and I only missed a BQ by 2 minutes.

I am not a Nike fan, but JUST DO IT!

I hope you're not one of my athletes...

Jokes aside- posting on LR and overthinking what I would diagnose as nothing but race nerves or performance anxiety is not the answer. R-E-L-A-X. As above posters said, nothing will ever be perfect. Get comfortable being uncomfortable and roll with the punches.

Plus, pre-race poops are the best. Enjoy them while you can

probably the Aragorns

Ice cream could be the culprit although as long as it’s not way out of the ordinary for your diet you should survive. For a period I used to get stomach concerns every race day even if I was being careful what I ate— if that’s you it could be nerves and you’d better get used to trying to ignore it and not letting it affect your race. That said, you should check to see if you’re sick as that might indicate you should rest up. Otherwise keep at it. And eat with care & taper for the really important ones. Good luck.

Wear a Depends if you have to. Sack up and run your race. Then over the weekend learn about nutrition for distance runners and eating the day or two before a race. Good Luck. And I mean that from the bottom of my bowels. LOL!!!

I use to have kids throw up at the starting line all the time. That was all nervous stomach issues. The "Fight or Flight" thing.

Ice cream is a nice dessert, but it's not dinner.

How does this sound like the flu. Are you seriously going to let some diarrhea stop you from running your race? Lace em the f*** up

Go out there and run your race. I had a runner that had the runs all day the day of his state meet and almost won the race. You’ll be fine. Now if you keep letting it get to your head you will tank.
