"The secret in Iten is that, when you see everybody running a lot of mileage, 400 athletes on track, very fast long runs, and you discover this is the normal life of these champions, that are very normal persons, you start to think it's possible running fast for you, too.
The secret is to make in your mind possible what was not possible before.
The secret is to make easy what was difficult, instead to make difficult what really is easy."
- Renato Canova, famed coach of many of the top runners in the world

Graeme Obree quote from a recent interview. Along the lines of... "Try is a three letter word that means impossibility or failure. An excuse for failure at the start. So I didn't set out to try and break the hour record. I decided I was going to break the hour record"  |

"If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss" - If by Rudyard Kipling Actually, the whole thing is pretty apt: http://www.kipling.org.uk/poems_if.htm |

You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.
You have to be dedicated because you're the only person that can do the work. No one else can do it for you.
I don't just go out there and run. I like to give people watching something exciting.
How does a kid from Coos Bay, with one leg longer than the other win races? All my life people have been telling me, 'You're too small Pre', 'You're not fast enough Pre', 'Give up your foolish dream Steve'. But they forgot something, I HAVE TO WIN.
What I want is to be number one.
Prefontaine.
