I don't just go out there and run. I like to give people watching something exciting.

I run to see who has the most guts.

Running gives me confidence.

Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.

If he's having a good day and running the right race, nobody can beat Frank Shorter at 10,000 meters... nobody except me.

A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.
