Different people have different reasons for racing, but one is simply the incentive to get out and run, increase mileage and feel good.

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.

What is the purpose of any one workout? Enjoyment? Improvement? Coach said so? Whatever, the hour you run often is the best hour of the day.

Finish: Even if you run a slower than expected time, you succeed in any marathon when you finish.

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.

Rested, Refreshed, and Ready to run, the three Rs of peak performance.

How would you describe the worst run you ever had? Precious!
