概要
Case 012: The Phantom Pain — Maranoia
This case doesn’t begin with a breakdown. It begins with doubt. Training is going well, the plan is on track, and the race is close — but suddenly every click, twinge, ache, and heavy stride starts to feel loaded with meaning. A knee noise becomes a threat. A fleeting hamstring pull becomes a warning. A body that has carried months of work starts to feel suspicious.
In this episode of The Foot Detective, we open the file on Maranoia — that pre-race state where hypervigilance, anxiety, and investment turn normal training sensations into potential disaster. We trace the clues through taper week heaviness, poor sleep, social media-fuelled fear, and the pressure that builds when a race becomes more than a race.
This is not about imaginary pain. The sensations are real. But the interpretation can become distorted. We look at how to separate signal from noise, how to spot the difference between true pathology and pre-race catastrophising, and how to get runners to the start line with a calmer mind and a body they can trust.
Because sometimes the biggest threat before race day isn’t the injury. It’s the story the runner starts telling themselves about it.
