How can I prepare for a track meet?

Hi, I run the 1000, 300 and the 55

The events I normally do are just the 300 and 55.

How can I mentally prepare for a track meet, I've ran them before but I get super nervous or I become overloaded with anxiety. I have never finished in first place only second.

My muscles never get tired when I run, usually I just run out of breath or I mentally distract myself from completing the race to the best of my ability.

Is their somekinda supplement I can take like creatine or magic race lotion. Lol

Thanks and any tips for running, endurance etc etc would be greatly appreciated. - Gin

    If you have come in second multiple times, just keep in mind that you are probably a solid athlete. The only "supplement" for mental anxiety is yourself. Just have some confidence and enjoy it man! That's really the only thing you can do.
