The most difficult part, when you decide to make running a part of your life style, is the basic initial commitment. Everybody says, 'I don't have the time.' It's up to you to say, 'I do have the time.' For me, beginning to run when I was a student was an ideal situation. However, I've also trained as much as 130 miles per week during periods when I worked a full-time job. It ultimately becomes second nature. It becomes a habit, a routine part of your daily life

I believe in gradual experimentation with running shoes.

Runners are the ultimate celebration people. Running is just so intense, you're really experiencing life to the fullest.

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.

My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled.

To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year - but for a lifetime.

I want to run until I can't run
