I always say if the marathon is a part-time interest, you will only get part-time results.

Every race is totally different.

I believe you'll develop speed via strength work which includes hill running, either repeats, or running hilly courses as the Kenyans do on a steady basis

The advice I have for beginners is the same philosophy that I have for runners of all levels of experience and ability -- consistency, a sane approach, moderation and making your running an enjoyable, rather than dreaded, part of your life.

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

No one who works a forty hour week will ever beat me.

Every time I bomb out, I have to come back. I have a feeling after a bad race that my next one will be good.
