Talent is everywhere, it only needs the opportunity.

Talent is everywhere, it only needs the opportunity.

At the finish line of the 1967 Boston Marathon, one crabby journalist said it was just a one-off deal and women weren't going to run. Only a 20-year-old who had just run a marathon and was shot full of endorphin would say this but I said that there's going to come a day in our lives when women's running is as popular and as men's.

Women is out because she's getting in her daily dose of empowerment, freedom and fearlessness. She has put on her freedom wings for 20 minutes or two hours. That's going to make her whole day right and her whole future hold up and seem entirely possible. The sense of her not having any limits, or any restrictions, to me, is so liberating. She doesn't have to prove anything.

I always say that talent and capability is everywhere, all it needs is opportunity.

There is an expression among even the most advanced runners that getting your shoes on is the hardest part of any workout

All you need is the courage to believe in yourself and put one foot in front of the other.
