I like rain, actually.

Hills are terrific for running.

I believe you'll develop speed via strength work which includes hill running, either repeats, or running hilly courses as the Kenyans do on a steady basis.

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc.

I believe in gradual experimentation with running shoes.

Being a runner means you are now "free" to win and lose and live life to its fullest.

Age 50 is a lot tougher than 40s.

I ran my fastest marathon in the rain.

I always say if the marathon is a part-time interest, you will only get part-time results.

If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk.

My biggest weakness as a endurance athlete has been in not drinking enough water after training, thereby racing sometimes while dehydrated.

My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled.

Every race is totally different.

My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble.

I want to run until I can't run.
