“Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.”
Tom Fleming’s Boston Marathon Training Motto“In the ’70’s, I was a school teacher and trained at 5AM and 5PM. During wintertime, I never saw the sun.”
Tom Fleming (one of the all time great American runners. Won the New York Marathon twice, took second at Boston two times.)
“Runners like to train 100 miles per week because it’s a round number. But I think 88 is a lot rounder.”
Don Kardong
“Who runs in circles never gets far.”
Thornton W. Burgess, Bowser the Hound
“I run because it’s my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I’m going where I’m going and I’m already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise…it’s a consistent reward for victory!”
Sasha Azevedo, Runner Athlete
“There ain’t no shame looking at a good runner’s back. Now, if the runner sucks, that’s something else entirely…”
The Rage, Training Tips “Comeback”
“There are actually people who cheat at race walks; they enter a race walk, then run to win. You know you’ve given up in life when you cheat at a race walk. You’ve decided that you’re so pathetic the only way you can win is by cheating against people who aren’t even competing.”
Michael Logsdon
