Aiming For The Marathon Is A Task

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

My Guess Is Many Top Athletes, Distance Runners Included, Use Performance-enhancing Drugs, Enough So That The Problem Must Be Tackled.

The Advice I Have For Beginners Is The Same Philosophy That I Have For Runners Of All Levels Of Experience And Ability -- Consistency, A Sane Approach, Moderation And Making Your Running An Enjoyable, Rather Than Dreaded, Part Of Your Life.

Always Take The Long Term View And Train And Race Smart, With A Bit Of Caution.

I Always Say If The Marathon Is A Part-time Interest, You Will Only Get Part-time Results.
