There is a special mystique about the marathon, for example, because of its length-but that's just the bit you do at the end of an Ironman

Hard work and an open mind - it's the only way to realize the potential that is inside every one of us.

It's not records I chase, it's self-improvement. And that cannot be done by taking it easy.

Some sessions are stars and some sessions are stones, but in the end they are all rocks and we build upon them.

No one should ever be afraid of failing; it's being afraid to give it your all in trying that I urge against.

There's an importance of keeping an open mind. The brain is programmed to protect us, and that can mean imposing limits on what it thinks we can or should do. Constantly push at those limits, because the brain can be way too cautious.

When things are tough, you get tougher.
