You Cannot Always Run At Your Best.

I Can't Even Imagine What It's Like To Run For 5 Or 6 Hours.

Having Your Goal To Focus On Is Key, But Don't Let It Become More Important Than Your Excellence Next Year And The Year After.

My Whole Feeling In Terms Of Racing Is That You Have To Be Very Bold. You Sometimes Have To Be Aggressive And Gamble.

The Most Difficult Part, When You Decide To Make Running A Part Of Your Life Style, Is The Basic Initial Commitment. Everybody Says, 'i Don't Have The Time.' It's Up To You To Say, 'i Do Have The Time.' For Me, Beginning To Run When I Was A Student Was An Ideal Situation. However, I've Also Trained As Much As 130 Miles Per Week During Periods When I Worked A Full-time Job. It Ultimately Becomes Second Nature. It Becomes A Habit, A Routine Part Of Your Daily Life

I Also Feel It Usually Takes Four Or Five Races To Hit Your Best Marathon For Your Body To Be Accustomed To The Training And The Race Itself.
