I'm going to finish my runs hard, and I'm going to try to set the tone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Honestly, the type of runner I am, I'm a physical guy, and I try to set the tone early in the game, so you're going to see it a lot in the first and second quarter.
In running, I can internalize that intensity. I can handle it because it's me and I'm coming back in the next race. I'm always ready for the next race.
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.
I'm going to focus on speed, doing little things like my turns and my starts - just speed.
Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.
Running gave me a focus to start looking after myself, to eat properly, and focus on building up my strength.
I'm a runner first before anything else.
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.
I will go running when I'm stressed out. The running helps, but more than anything, I'll put music on and then I'll run. I'll cry and get it all out.
I received the best advice for running I ever heard: 'You're not going to win, so just relax. If it feels like work, you're running too hard.'
