We May Train Or Peak For A

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.

There Are A Lot Of Guys Out There Now Who Know They Are Not Working As Hard As Other People. I Can't Fathom How They Think.

You Have To Change Things In Order To Get To Where You Want To Go. And Things Might Get Worse. But If You're Not Getting Where You Want To Be, Already, In A Sense, It's As Bad As It Can Get.

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.

The Marathon Is Like A Bullfight.
