I spent the first twenty years of my running career trying to run as many miles as I could as fast as I could. Then I spent the next twenty years trying to figure out how to run the least amount of miles needed to finish a marathon. And I've come to the conclusion the second way is much more enjoyable.
Jeff GallowayThere's an old adage that for every second too fast per mile in the first half of the race, you'll run at least 2 seconds slower at the end.
Jeff GallowayThe more you frame the marathon as a stressful experience, the more negative messages you'll receive. But it's just as easy to frame it as a positively challenging journey.
