As I've been able to once again gain the benefits of speed work, I'm enjoying my running more and more.

Intervals and other types of speed work are essential to improve running speed.

When you have good runners, you always run fast. That's the motivation for me. But I have room to improve in my technique and in the start.

Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It's part of racing.

Running gives you a great opportunity to work stuff out in your head.

If you want to be a successful runner, you have to consider everything. It's no good just thinking about endurance and not to develop fine speed.

I think there are so many extra benefits to running besides the health ones that come from getting your heart rate up, sweating, and all that other good stuff.

Even though running is work for me, I always miss it if I take a break. A lot of people find running relaxing, but I can never switch off from timing and competing against myself.

I already have natural speed, which I don't need to work on, so in training I've been working more on my endurance.

Because running fast is more fun than running slow.
