The Marathon Can Humble You.

Every Race Is Totally Different.

Running Is A Very Natural Activity. If You Get Too Caught Up, You Find Yourself Constantly Seeking To Make Running Something That It Isn't. You Should Let It Be What It Is - A Very Simple Activity. Running Has Become Too Complicated For Many People And They Wind Up Turning Sour On The Sport, Or Losing The Focus Of Their Direction.

I Believe You'll Develop Speed Via Strength Work Which Includes Hill Running, Either Repeats, Or Running Hilly Courses As The Kenyans Do On A Steady Basis

I Often Lose Motivation, But It's Something I Accept As Normal.

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.
