Cancer taught me a plan for more purposeful living, and that in turn taught me how to train and to win more purposefully. It taught me that pain has a reason, and that sometimes the experience of losing things-whether health or a car or an old sense of self-has its own value in the scheme of life. Pain and loss are great enhancers.
Lance ArmstrongMe and running donโt always see eye to eye. Some days it hurts more than others. But it doesnโt mean I donโt do it. I deal with it and I keep running because not everything that is good for you, always feels good for you.
Lance ArmstrongThere were no shortcuts, I realized. It took years of racing to build up the mind and body and character until a rider had logged hundreds of races and thousands of miles of road. I wouldn't be able to win a Tour de France until I had enough iron in my legs, and lungs, and brain and Heart.
