Oh yes Dio - particularly before long runs! And I find the worse the fear is, often the better the run turns out to be. No idea what all that is about.

Glad its not just me!

Mine’s usually about toilet worries, img dodgy calf, and seeing people/being seen. Can’t say the pandemic made any difference.

No difference from the pandemic here either - have always had it.

but when I don't have a run scheduled or I can't run I always really want to run and have run FOMO.

My fear isn't anything specific, just a general apprehension...

Not fear exactly but sometimes I feel as if I've forgotten how to run :-0 I seem to have solved it by starting off really slowly.

No but I still get incredibly nervous/anxious before races. But that’s less to do with the running and more to do with worrying about getting to the right place, on time and with everything I need to bring.

I experience a similar thing Dio - especially the seeing people / being seen and, as Treacle says, long runs in particular. Sometimes I just have to promise myself that I'll only do a short run instead - and then once I'm out the door I feel fine and I do the distance I've originally planned.
Going first thing in the morning is another good trick, before you've had time to think about it. Otherwise, I tend to see in my kit all day with the anxiety / pressure growing and the likelihood of actually running diminishing.
You'd think after 20 years of running I'd get over it but humans are complex creatures!

Evening all.
Had a lovely lazy day in Croatia.
Went swimming in the sea - which is quite a big deal for me - and just loved it.

That sounds amazing Sarah! Glad you're having a wonderful time - and well done for the sea swimming :-)
