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

Again, racing for me was about energy management.

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 can actually suffer a little bit more going slowly than when you're going really fast. A faster marathon might even be easier than a slow one, in terms of what it takes out of you mentally.

Intervals and other types of speed work are essential to improve running speed.

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.

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