Run with your heart instead of your mind. When you think with your mind, you think of the things you can and can't do. But when you run with your heart you forget about what you can't do, and you just go out and do it.

I had on my team a girl who at age twelve just missed the world mile record for her age group. But at 20 she just couldn't run.

When you hit a certain spot you Sprint no matter how you feel inside or what your co-runner thinks. You just go! In training as a nickel, you sprint because you need to sprint! You just do it! In racing people see it and call it courage, but it is attitude; determination; duty.

Set a master goal for your running and for your life...

There are champions in every neighborhood. Anyone can run to the very top. ANYONE! But you have to (a) start right, (b) think right, and (c) believe. Most runners get lost in one or more of those three steps.

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

COURAGE is not a quality you teach. Courage is the by-product of self-discipline. It is an ATTITUDE.
