Running Quotes

"you know when your young and you want to be famous...always want to be in the spotlight for the longest time with all the attention on you...well then you grow up and become a runner and to become famous the faster you run and the faster you run the less time your in the spotlight but your famous" ~Me And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make--John Lennon "I like running because it's a challenge. If you run hard, there's the pain - and you've got to work your way through the pain. You know, lately it seems all you hear is? Don't overdo it' and? Don't push yourself.' Well, I think that's a lot of bull. If you push the human body, it will respond."- Bob Clarke, Philadelphia Flyers general manager, NHL Hall of Fame.

It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'"- Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian and sub-2:12 marathoner "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."- Inspirational sign on a runner's office wall "Dream barriers look very high until someone climbs them. They are not barriers anymore."- Lasse Viren "Run hard, be strong, think big!"- Percy Cerutty "A lot of people run a race to see who's the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts."- Steve Prefontaine "Once you're beat mentally, you might was well not even go to the starting line." --Todd Williams "The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed."- Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ "Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win."- Tom Fleming "Ill train like a madman, un loco. Well, not like a madman, perhaps, but as if it were my last race."- Rudolfo Gomez, prior to the Los Aneles Olympic Games "The long run is what puts the tiger in the cat."- Bill Squires "Everyone in life is looking for a certain rush. Racing is where I get mine."- John Trautmann "I tell our runners to divide the race into thirds. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart."- Mike Fanelli, club coach "Those who say that I will lose and am finished will have to run over my body to beat me."- Said Aouita "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."-Emil Zatopek I don't just go out there and run. I like to give people watching something exciting. -Steve Prefontaine If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough--Steve Jones Run so hard you come in with bloody feet and missing toenails -Rob Decestella Man imposes his own limitations, don't set any-Anthony Bailey Few of us know what we are capable of doing... we have never pushed ourselves hard enough to find out.- Alfred A. Montapert Each day you don't practice is one more day you have to practice to get better.I don’t train. I just run my 3-15 miles a day.- Jack Foster Grind it out. Hanging on just one second longer than your competition makes you the winner.The mile has a classic symmetry....It's a play in four acts.- John Landy Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it’s all about.- PattiSue Plummer, U.S. Olympian The problem with big kickers is they often lose to other big kickers.- Harry Groves, Penn State coach Anyone can run 100 meters. . . . It's the next 4900 that count! Hills are speedwork in disguise.- Frank Shorter Only think of two things - the gun and the tape. When you hear the one, just run like hell until you break the other. ~Sam Mussabini We can't all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by. - Will Rogers Cross-country. Finally a good use for golf courses. Runners have balls, all others just play with them. Weak runners wait for opportunities, strong ones make them. You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.-Billy Wilder You only ever grow as a human being if you're outside your comfort zone.-Percy Cerutty If you've never failed at anything you’re not trying hard enough.Some people don't have the guts for distance racing. The polite term for them is sprinters. Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years that they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance is merely the demonstration of their championship character.Race hard, run fast and above all enjoy yourself. -Bill Reed If you’re not trying your hardest, there's no point in trying at all!Nothin ventured nothin gained
