Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater.
From Emil Zatopek
We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.
An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.
You can't climb up to the second floor without a ladder. When you set your aim too high and don't fulfill it, then your enthusiasm turns to bitterness. Try for a goal that's reasonable, and then gradually raise it.
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.
The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors, scientists, coaches, agents and so on.
If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon.
It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys.
Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast.
A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.
