A runner must run with dreams in his heart.

If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon.

My running was very simple; it was out of myself.

If one can stick to the training throughout the many long years, then will power is no longer a problem. It's raining? That doesn't matter. I am tired? That's besides the point. It's simply that I just have to.

By a persistent effort of will it is possible to change the whole body. The athlete must always keep in mind this concept of change and progression. He must never accept his limitations as being permanent, because they are not.

If you come to think of it, you never see deer, dogs and rabbits worrying about their menus and yet they run much faster than humans.

When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter either. Then willpower will be no problem.
