“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
“The marathon's about being in contention over the last 10K. That's when it's about what you have in your core. You have run all the strength, all the superficial fitness out of yourself, and it really comes down to what's left inside you. To be able to draw deep and pull something out of yourself is one of the most tremendous things about the marathon.” RunningAbleLastsLeftDrawsCoreSuperficialMarathonInspirational RunningContentionMotivational RunningMarathon RunnersMarathon 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
