I think in running, to be honest, that even though athletes are very dedicated and are willing to train and do whatever they need to do to prepare, more often than not they're not in a very professional environment where you've got a high performance director and a coach that are really monitoring your daily activities.

The marathon is like a bullfight.

You learn to run like a sprinter, you'll be a great distance runner

I've run a lot of miles over the years, some fast and some not so fast. I've won some big races and I've had some big disappointments, but I enjoy the freedom of running and the challenge of training and competition as much now as when I first started back in high school.

I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards.

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

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