You can hurt more than you ever thought possible, then continue until you discover that hurting isn't that big a deal.

Train at your current fitness level, or slightly above — not where you want to be.

Every single one of us possesses the strength to attempt something he isn't sure he can accomplish.

It's a hard, simple calculus: Run until you can't run anymore. Then run some more. Find a new source of energy and will. Then run even faster.

For me, challenging myself with this type of endeavor [ultramarathons] brings the best out in me because even at the darkest, deepest moments when I feel like I can't go on, when I feel like there's no chance I could break the record or much less finish the trail, somehow I find that strength inside of me.

Sometimes the road to wellness isnt a well-marked expressway.
