“A lot of people don't realize that about 98 percent of the running I put in is anything but glamorous: 2 percent joyful participation, 98 percent dedication! It's a tough formula. Getting out in the forest in the biting cold and the flattening heat, and putting in kilometer after kilometer.” PeopleRunningRealizingColdPercentToughForestsHeatFormulasDedicationJoyfulParticipationGlamorousInspirational RunningMotivational RunningBitingRunning MarathonMarathon RunnersDistance RunnerDistance RunningGreat RunningCross Country RunningInspirational RunnerMarathon RunningRunning TrainingTraining For A MarathonMotivational Cross Country RunningMarathon MotivationalCross Country Motivational Author:Robert de Castella
“When I was about 14 or 15, and running in a pretty muddy cross country race, one of my shoes stuck in the mud and came off. Boy, was I wild. To think that I had trained hard for this race and didn't do up my shoelace tightly enough! I really got aggressive with myself, and I found myself starting to pass a lot of runners. As it turned out, I improved something like twenty places in that one race. But I never did get my shoe back.” ThinkingCountryHardEnoughRunningFoundRaceBoysCrossesTwentiesShoesStartingStuckAggressiveRunnersMudInspirational RunningMuddyCross Country RunningShoelaces Author:Robert de Castella
