You cannot always run at your best.

My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble.

I also feel it usually takes four or five races to hit your best marathon for your body to be accustomed to the training AND the race itself.

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

Every race is totally different.

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

I want to run until I can't run
