We May Train Or Peak For A

Winning Times In The New York City Marathon Have Not Dropped All That Much Over The Years, But Rather U.s. Runners Went Backward. In 1983, There Were 267 U.s. Men Who Broke 2:20 In A Marathon, And By 2000 That Number Was Down To 27.

Trust Me, My Runners Aren't Going To Run One Event While Looking Past It To The Second Event. When They Get On The Line For The 10k, That's A Do-or-die Situation For Them.

I've Found That My Athletes Run Their Best Races After About 10 Weeks Of Intense Training.

I Like The Marathon Because It's One Race Where You Can Find Out Who's Really The Toughest. On The Track, Sometimes A Guy Can Just Pull Away, And You Want To Stay With Him But You Don't Have The Leg Speed. The Marathon Is Slow Enough That Anyone Can Stay With You If He Wants, If He Has The Will. The Marathon Is Ultimately A Test Of Will.

I've Run A Lot Of Miles Over The Years, Some Fast And Some Not So Fast. I've Won Some Big Races And I've Had Some Big Disappointments, But I Enjoy The Freedom Of Running And The Challenge Of Training And Competition As Much Now As When I First Started Back In High School.
