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.

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

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

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc

Don't feel guilty about driving somewhere nice to run. If people can drive to a park to eat hot dogs, you can drive there to run.

Every race is totally different.

Hills are terrific for running
