Data collection was conducted by adaptations to the Castilian Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2R), the Commitment to Running Scale-11 (CR-11), the Running Addiction Scale-8 (RAS-8 ) Motivations of Marathoners Scales Scales-34 (MOMS-34) questionnaire and Perception of Success Questionnaire (POSQ).
