Every race is totally different.

Age 50 is a lot tougher than 40s

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

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

Aiming for the marathon is a task of sorts which can include terrific highs and lows.

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.
