An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding.

We may train or peak for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.

If you want to achieve a high goal, you're going to have to take some chances.

I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards.

Early in my career I was accused of being overconfident and even cocky, but I really was confident that I had done the training and didn't see any other reason to say otherwise.

I'd rather run a gutsy race, pushing all the way and lose, than run a conservative race only for a win.

I've found that my athletes run their best races after about 10 weeks of intense training.

There are a lot of guys out there now who know they are not working as hard as other people. I can't fathom how they think.

I've never enjoyed my running more. I also do 200 sit-ups a day, 60 push-ups, and a lot of stretching. I've had some back issues. I think the stretching helps with that.

I didn't give myself enough breaks during the training year to recover. I didn't understand the power of periodization.

Knowing the self is the biggest truth. If we find the truth within, we have found God.

All real success springs from that inward might which we exert upon society.

By all means use sometimes to be alone.

Sometimes doing a movie for a short period of time is better than committing eight months to a television show.

Just then, lit only by the flicker of his wings,the sight of him was so..right somehow. He was right. It made no sense at all, but the feeling flooded through Karou

The Coach does not play in the game, but the Coach helps the players identify areas to improve their game.

I'm funnier now because I'm braver and less full of hate, so everything is even more ridiculous than it was before.

I don't pay to have my dirty work done for me. I do it myself.

In judging others a man laboreth in vain; he often erreth, and easily falleth into sin; but in judging and examining himself he always laboreth to good purpose.
