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.

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

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.

We all have bad days and bad workouts, when running gets ugly, when split times seem slow, when you wonder why you started. It will pass.

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

It can be said that the first half of the marathon is 20 miles long; the second half, 6.2 more.

Putting miles in your training log is like putting money in the bank. You begin to draw interest on it immediately.
