Each runner's capacity to absorb hard training is different. Find your own unique level of comfort and success will be yours.

Even when you have gone as far as you can, and everything hurts, and you are staring at the specter of self-doubt, you can find a bit more strength deep inside you, if you look closely enough.

Keep your dream in front of you. Never let it go regardless of how farfetched it might seem.

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.

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.

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.

I run, therefore I am. And given the years improved fitness adds to our lives, if I did not run, maybe I would no longer be.
