I'd rather run a gutsy race, pushing all the way and lose, than run a conservative race only for a win.

I've found that my athletes run their best races after about 10 weeks of intense training.

If you want to achieve a high goal, you're going to have to take some chances.

We may train or peak for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.

There are a lot of guys out there now who know they are not working as hard as other people. I can't fathom how they think.

An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding.

I've never enjoyed my running more. I also do 200 sit-ups a day, 60 push-ups, and a lot of stretching. I've had some back issues. I think the stretching helps with that.
