You Learn To Run Like A Sprinter,

I'm Interested In Dathan Ritzenhein's Future In The Marathon, And I Believe That's Where We Need To Address Some Issues He Seems To Have. He's Had Good Marathon Coaches - Both Brad Hudson And Me. He's Figured Out The Fueling. He's Got This Incredible Aerobic Engine. But Something's Still Wrong.

I Didn't Give Myself Enough Breaks During The Training Year To Recover. I Didn't Understand The Power Of Periodization.

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.

An Athlete Who Tells You The Training Is Always Easy And Always Fun Simply Hasn't Been There. Goals Can Be Elusive Which Makes The Difficult Journey All The More Rewarding.

I'd Rather Run A Gutsy Race, Pushing All The Way And Lose, Than Run A Conservative Race Only For A Win.
