The marathon is a competition between your will and your possibilities

Marathon training doesn't have to be a grind. By running for about 30 minutes two times a week, and by gradually increasing the length of a third weekly run-the long run-anyone can finish a marathon.

Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack.

Find a way to enjoy parts of every run. Most of your runs should be mostly enjoyable.

When I finish a run, every part of me is smiling.

Think chest/hips/ push, or CHP, when it's time for uphill running. Chest up, hips forward, push strongly off each foot.

To finish will leave you feeling like a champion and positively change your life.
