Inspiring Quotes
The ultimate is not to win, but to reach within the depths of your capabilities and to compete against yourself to the greatest extent possible. When you do that, you have dignity. You have pride. You can walk about with character and pride no matter in what place you happen to finish." Billy Mills
Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up." Dean Karnazes
Running isn’t a sport for pretty boys… It’s about the sweat in your hair and the blisters on your feet. It’s the frozen spit on your chin and the nausea in your gut. It’s about throbbing calves and cramps at midnight that are strong enough to wake the dead. It’s about getting out the door and running when the rest of the world is only dreaming about having the passion that you need to live each and every day with. It’s about being on a lonely road and running like a champion even when there’s not a single soul in sight to cheer you on. Running is all about having the desire to train and persevere until every fiber in your legs, mind, and heart is turned to steel. And when you’ve finally forged hard enough, you will have become the best runner you can be. And that’s all that you can ask for.” Paul Maurer
...no human is limited." Eluded Kipchoge
A great distance runner needs a strong, well conditioned body, a drive to succeed, and a powerful mind that tells the body in the midst of extreme fatigue and hurt, IT WILL GO ON!" Kyle Fullmer
A lot of people run a race to see who is the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more." PRE
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second." William James
Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement." Matt Biondi
Your body will argue that there is no justifiable reason to continue. Your only recourse is to call on your spirit, which fortunately functions independently of logic." Tim Noakes
To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." PRE
People make a big mistake when they say, 'I need to be motivated.' You motivate yourself. I might inspire somebody, but that person has to be motivated within themselves first. Look inside yourself, believe in yourself, put in the hard work, and your dreams will unfold." Billy Mills
