Road racing is rock 'n roll; track is Carnegie Hall.
The endurance athlete is the ultimate realist.
There are no secrets to running success,anyone who says there are is probably trying to sell you something.
During long, slow distance training, you should think of yourself as a thoroughbred disguised as a plow horse. No need to give yourself away by running fast.
There's no satisfaction without a struggle first.
Run your own race at an even pace. Consider the course, the temperature, the weather, and most importantly, your current level of fitness.
