Victory is in having done your best. If you've done your best, you've won.

If at the end of a race you know yourself that you have done your best, you're a winner.

I still bother with runners I call hamburgers. They're never going to run any record times. But they can fulfill their own potential.

Everything you need is already inside.

A teacher is never too smart to learn from his pupils. But while runners differ, basic principles never change. So it's a matter of fitting your current practices to fit the event and the individual. See, what's good for you might not be worth a darn for the next guy.

If you have a body, you are an athlete!

The athlete makes himself, the coach doesn't make the athlete.
