The marathon is like a bullfight.
With my runners now, they get two month-long breaks during the year.
If you want to achieve a high goal, you're going to have to take some chances.
I'd rather run a gutsy race, pushing all the way and lose, than run a conservative race only for a win.
Trust me, my runners aren't going to run one event while looking past it to the second event. When they get on the line for the 10K, that's a do-or-die situation for them.
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.
