My goal has always been to slow down as slowly as possible. It's as simple as that.
I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older.
You have to know your body. It's part of the beauty of the training process, and once you've determined how much your body and mind can take, you can then begin to reach your potential.
Because running fast is more fun than running slow.
My goal is to break three hours in a marathon
Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing.
