To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year - but for a lifetime.

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

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

I want to run until I can't run.

You cannot always run at your best.

Anybody can be a runner... We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport.

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

The marathon can humble you.

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

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