The 3-minute mile goal is to teach runners that the impossible is where goals should be set.

Humans are a TOUGH animal! We can do anything.

There is NOTHING you can do with your running time that is better for you than running. Any other activity only pulls you down and erases passion.

We didn't keep track of how many miles we ran back then. We just ran. If you LOVE to run with the kind of passion I have for running, you will understand this. Running was my mode of transportation.

Kids are afraid that if they race too fast they will get tired. Way too much fear and way too little COURAGE.

Ideally I would start by racing my athletes once every two weeks. But, such a program has to be flexible because some runners improve better with weekly races or even bi-weekly races. A coach has to adjust to what is best for the runner.

I started running in Junior High School. I was so slow and uncoordinated the coach set me up with a paper route so that instead of going to work out after school I went to the corner of Providence Ave at Crestline St. and picked up a bundle of 15 newspapers.
