If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk.

The marathon can humble you.

To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year - but for a lifetime.

I believe in gradual experimentation with running shoes.

Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest.

I often lose motivation, but it's something I accept as normal.

Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.

Don't feel guilty about driving somewhere nice to run. If people can drive to a park to eat hot dogs, you can drive there to run.

Runners are the ultimate celebration people. Running is just so intense, you're really experiencing life to the fullest.

I always say if the marathon is a part-time interest, you will only get part-time results.

I believe you'll develop speed via strength work which includes hill running, either repeats, or running hilly courses as the Kenyans do on a steady basis

If you're rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off you're probably going to get hurt.

There would not be so many open mouths if there were not so many open ears.

Wealth is not wisdom's goal, but is often wisdom's reward.

Storytelling has a narcotic power.

I sometimes think Adam and Eve were Russians. They didn't have a roof over their head, nothing to wear, but they had one apple between them and they thought that was Paradise.
