You will have bad days and good days, slow runs and fast runs, tough races and easy races, but you will only have one journey.
Enjoy training, fall in love with it, and become it. By doing so, you will look forward to running, not finishing, and that makes all the difference in the world.
You have to step outside of your comfort zone to run a longer distance. This isn’t a suggestion, it’s a prescription.
If you keep moving your feet forward, the finish line eventually arrives. This is a method that has never failed once.
Every time you want to quit, but keep running anyway, your mindset strengthens. And when you come up short, adjust, and still achieve your goal, your mindset strengthens exponentially.
Sometimes, the hardest part isn't the mileage of your run. Sometimes what's most challenging is the distance from your bed to the door.
The most powerful tool you have to run long distance is your mind, and when you master it, the boundaries of your endurance disintegrate.
When running an ultramarathon, the first 50 miles I rely on my legs and run on the trail. The next 40 miles I rely on my head and run in the mind. The last 10 miles I rely on my heart and run in the sky.
Our current circumstances do not dictate our future reality. Whether you are athletic or not, you can grow into a distance runner over time. Don’t ever let anyone tell you differently.
If you’re looking for pain and misery while running, you’ll find it, and if you’re looking for joy and happiness while running,you’ll find it. Remember the saying: energy flows where attention goes.
When you believe in your abilities, you can run any distance, including the distance you once believed was impossible.
In the process of running long distances, you learn a lot about what drives you. But most importantly, you learn to look inwards for motivation…not outwards.
When you fall in love with running, you fall in love with struggle. And when you fall in love with struggle, you fall in love with life.
Give the gift of cleaner energy + stronger miles.
