I Have A Saying 'train, Don't Strain.'

No One Will Burn Out Doing Aerobic Running. It Is Too Much Anaerobic Running, Which The American Scholastic Athletic System Tends To Put Young Athletes Through, That Burns Them Out.

They Have A Word In Finnish Called Sisu, Which Basically Means Guts. It’s The Strongest Word In The Finnish Language. You Tell A Finn He Doesn’t Have Sisu, That’s Like Spitting In His Face.

I Get More Gratification Out Of Getting Some Obese Person Who Had A Heart Attack Running Around And Enjoying Life Within A Year. I Get More Gratification From That Than Putting A Person In The Olympic Games. The Olympic Athlete Probably Doesn't Appreciate What You've Done, But The Other Guy Does. I Think It's Really Rewarding.

Champions Are Everywhere, You Just Have To Train Them Properly

I Have A Saying 'train, Don't Strain.' The Americans Have The Saying 'no Pain, No Gain' And That's Why They Have No Distance Running Champions. They Get Down To The Track With A Stopwatch And Flog Their Guts Out Thinking That It'll Make Them A Champion, But They'll Never Make A Champion That Way.
