Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest.

My biggest weakness as a endurance athlete has been in not drinking enough water after training, thereby racing sometimes while dehydrated.

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc

If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk.

Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.

Being a lifelong runner, knowing what running gives me, a variety of factors - that is what motivates me.

Runners...you're competitive, but you want to have fun, too. You want to enjoy life. And runners really get to do that, I think-after we recover.
