I thought perhaps people with injuries could be subject to a starters gun to cure them.

News people were holding me up as a symbol of defiance to the boycott and I couldn't even run.

The best runners every year are those who race out way too fast.

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

I would instill in my team an attitude of role modeling. We run to teach other people the value of physical activity. In all things, be humble and appreciative; hurt no one; help anyone you can.

The only thing that lives beyond the grave is the wake you have created by the way you have lived your life; the goals you have set; the distance away from the normal you dared to tread.

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.
