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.

I am never out there just jogging for the heck of it. I never do that. I start to run with a goal in mind, whether it's a certain time or certain distance or a specific heart-rate goal, and then I am done.

I love to run, and I actually run quite a bit.

A perfect run has nothing to do with distance. It's when your stride feels comfortable.

I've run a lot of miles over the years, some fast and some not so fast. I've won some big races and I've had some big disappointments, but I enjoy the freedom of running and the challenge of training and competition as much now as when I first started back in high school.

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.

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

People are so easily impressed by running, but I run pretty frequently.

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.
