On the roads, I can see truth revealed whole without thought or reason. There I experience the sudden understanding that comes unasked, unbidden. I simply rest, rest within myself, rest within the pure rhythm of my running. And I wait.

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

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.

Every runner is an experiment of one.

If marathoners finish they win.

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

Life is a positive-sum game. Everyone from the gold medallist to the last finisher can rejoice in a personal victory.
