A change of pace in terms of your running pace will give you strength psychologically.

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.

I ran my fastest marathon in the rain.

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.

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.

The starting line of the New York Marathon is kind of like a giant time bomb behind you about to go off. It is the most spectacular start in sport.

Every race is totally different.
