You have to forget your last marathon before you try another. Your mind can't know what's coming.

Three half-mile repeats on the track at 5-K race pace with a short recovery jog in between shouldn't scare anyone away-and it will improve your speed.

There's obviously some validity to it. But I think it also points out that you obviously can do it on your own because people have been doing it long before they had the stuff.

How did I know you ran a 4:30 mile in high school? That's easy. Everyone ran a 4:30 mile in high school.

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.

You train best where you are the happiest.

Being in school is the best place to be if you are an athlete because you can structure your own time.
