Long distance race is a necessary course in sports teaching，and it’s also the important content in athletics teaching material. Therefore，we did a questionnaire survey among part of the students（take the Liming vocational university as an example）from freshmen，sophomores，and junior students，which studied the psychological reflection of the students. The research showed that there is a common phenomenon that students are afraid of long distance race. Then，we analyzed the main reasons. We found that there are many subjective or objective factors lead to the appearing of the fear. So there is no doubt that the exploration on the fear is of great significance to the long-fast training.
