Hills are terrific for running

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

Being a lifelong runner, knowing what running gives me, a variety of factors - that is what motivates me.

Good health, peace of mind, being outdoors, camaraderie - those are all wonderful things that come to you when running. But for me, the real pull of running - the proverbial icing on the cake - has always been racing.

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

Age 50 is a lot tougher than 40s

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.
