I know that's definitely the way for me to run races - instead of trying to burn up at the front and blowing up, it's always better to be passing people at the end.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love competition because I've always run faster when somebody was running next to me.
There's nothing more powerful than to consider why you're running, no matter what pain you're going through during the race, if you know why you're running, then it'll be more satisfying at the end.
Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.
There is always the excitement of running races.
Many track and field people know that if I stay relaxed and run my race like I'm supposed to, I will be the winner at the Olympic Games.
Practice being in the moment when you are running, whether you are on your own or in the race.
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.
My personal philosophy is I'm running a 100-yard dash, and I haven't reached the end.
I like to race, not to do laps alone.
No, I don't run all the way. I'm not like an Olympic class runner.
