The best way to become a mentally tough runner is to believe that you're a mentally tough runner

I don't go to the start line expecting to win. I go to the start believing this could be the day when incredible things happen

I try to avoid the temptation with time as a total indicator for what my possibilities are for the marathon. It's the not the best indicator, but it's more how you feel, how you cover the distance and how you are able to do the training afterward.

For most of the track world, the Olympic year is such a huge year, and it's a big year for us marathoners too.

I don't know how you keep the world record holder off your team.

I'm constantly searching for the truth amidst a sea of confusion and uncertainty.

Suffering is an extraordinary teacher.
