-
The best runners are patient
-
There are no shortcuts
-
Going further is easier than going faster
-
To go further, slow down
-
To go faster, carry less weight and try harder
-
People get nicer the further you run
-
To achieve a goal, follow the programme
-
That runner over there has the same worries as you and thinks you must be faster than him
-
to improve first train more, then train smarter, then train more
-
there is always someone older and faster than you
-
breakthroughs happen when you change something
-
breakdowns happen when you change too many things
-
the marathon gods will exact vengeance on those who disrespect the race
-
there is nothing you can’t do if you are willing to put in the training
-
you can’t tell how fast someone is by looking at them
-
A big city race entry is better value than the open top bus tour
-
Bears and ultra-runners shit in the woods – get over it
-
running is good for your health
-
running gets easier if you stick with it
-
the more you put in to running, the more you get out of running
