An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.
~ Emil Zatopek
A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.
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.
If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a marathon.
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.
Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater.
It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys.
