 I like thinking about running and running races, but when it comes down to the proper race, I get really nervous. As soon as the race begins, I become a lot more relaxed and I can concentrate on which pace to go at, and whether to try and lead the race or stick behind the leader and beat him/her at the last.

 I don’t run anymore, but when I did run, I would say, I was slightly addicted to it because it made me feel good ‘euphoria’. After the run had finished you would feel better, however during the process is another matter. I think long distance running was harder but more rewarding.
