Fitness is just a stage you pass through on the way to becoming a racer.

Sport is singularly able to give us peak experience where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.

The desire to run comes from deep within us — from the unconscious, the intuitive, the instinctive. And that desire becomes a passion when the runner learns to race. Then, the race becomes all — the lovemaking of the runner.

Because until we write it down, we don't know what is actually at the root of our lives.

Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the alternative is worse.

People begin running for any number of motives, but we stick to it for one basic reason-to find out who we really are.

Do not tell me what to do, tell me what you do. Do not tell me what is good for me, tell me what is good for you. If, at the same time, you reveal the you in me, if you become a mirror to my inner self, then you have made a reader and a friend.
