You train best where you are the happiest.
Right now, after having had back surgery, I am finally back to running again.
In other words we have marketed our way into this health crisis.
Again, racing for me was about energy management.
I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older.
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.
