Not uncommon in people with explosive speed to have higher levels of anxiety (including social). Crying when exhausted is very normal

I'm not sure which journal, so attached the ASCA link. In fitness coaching they discussed the nervous system and the predispositions to be a better sprinter vs marathoner. Breath training plays a large part in developing athletes too re sympathetic and parasympathetic control. https://www.strengthandconditioning.org/journal

I’ve never heard of this. I’m a pretty fast sprinter and I have anxiety. That’s interesting..

I was too. Kids athletics back then was about gold medals, not practising what we failed at (which pays more dividends) 🤔
