There's one rule of thumb that suggests that you need one day of recovery for every mile run in a race. Another rule of thumb...suggests one day...for every kilometer run in anger.

It is not so much that I began to run, but that I continued.

I double-knot my shoe laces. It's a pain untying your shoes afterward-particularly if you get them wet-but so is stopping in the middle of a race to tie them.

Whatever, the hour you run often is the best hour of the day.

The pride in finishing a marathon is much greater than all the pain endured during the marathon.

The most important day in any running program is rest. Rest days give your muscles time to recover so you can run again. Your muscles build in strength as you rest.

The difference between the mile and the marathon is the difference between burning your fingers with a match and being slowly roasted over hot coals.
