Blaming the running injury epidemic on big, bad Nike seems too easy - but that's okay, because it's largely their fault.

You don't have to be fast. But you'd better be fearless.

The words of the social critic Eric Hoffer were ringing true: "Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and turns into a racket."

Everyone is built for running.

Humans are built for endurance, not speed. We're awful sprinters compared to every other animal. We try to run our races as if they were speed races, but they are not. They're endurance races. Even a marathon, the way it's run now, it's not an endurance contest.

We wouldn't be alive without love we wouldn't have survived without running maybe we shouldn't be surprised that getting better at one could make you better at the other.

it’s easy to get outside yourself when you’re thinking about someone else.
