It is not the time spent with the child at their activity that is going to produce the highest level athlete. It is in supporting the child in an organized activity so the child can find what they truly like to do and let them go.

I was actually going to law school in 1972.

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.

The potential elite runner must realize that hard means hard, easy means easy and they must patiently seek out what combinations work for them. They have to learn to be persistent and patient with their training and racing.

Numbers don't lie. You always seem to remember your workouts as being a little better than they were. It's good to go back and review what you do.

You train best where you are the happiest.

I want my time spent running to serve as a reward.
