"My running was very simple; it was out of myself."
Running
"It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys."
Man
"The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors, scientists, coaches, agents and so on."
Coach
"What has passed is already finished with. What I find more interesting is what is still to come."
Reading
"Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast."
Practice
"If one can stick to the training throughout the many long years, then will power is no longer a problem. It's raining? That doesn't matter. I am tired? That's besides the point. It's simply that I just have to."
Power
"When I was young, I was too slow. I thought I must learn to run fast by practicing to run fast, so I ran 100 meters fast 20 times. Then I came back, slow, slow, slow."
Thought
"If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon."
Life
"To boast of a performance which I cannot beat is merely stupid vanity. And if I can beat it that means there is nothing special about it. What has passed is already finished with. What I find more interesting is what is still to come."
Performance
"Men, today we die a little."
