Try for a goal that's reasonable, then gradually raise it.

The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors, scientists, coaches, agents and so on.

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.

Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem.

There is a great advantage in training under unfavorable conditions. It is better to train under bad conditions, for the difference is then a tremendous relief in a race.

A runner must run with dreams in his heart.
