I Found Longer Races Boring. I Found

We Run, Not Because We Think It Is Doing Us Good, But Because We Enjoy It And Cannot Help Ourselves

It's A Question Of Spreading The Available Energy, Aerobic And Anaerobic, Evenly Over Four Minutes. If You Run One Part Too Fast, You Pay A Price. If You Run Another Part More Slowly Your Overall Time Is Slower.

My Introduction To Track Racing Was Through The Background Of Cross Country Running, Which Is Not A Sport Perhaps As Popular In America As It Is In England.

I Came From Such A Simple Origin, Without Any Great Privilege, And I Would Say I Also Wanted To Make A Mark. It Wasn't Until I Was About 15 That I Appeared In A Race.

Just Because They Say It's Impossible Doesn't Mean You Can't Do It.
