“You don't win an Olympic gold medal with a few weeks of intensive training. There's no such thing as an overnight opera sensation. Great law firms or design companies don't spring up overnight...

“It's been an incredible few weeks for Emma Pooley, first winning three stages in the Giro Rosa to demonstrate that she's the best climber in the women's peloton, then lining up for La Course - a race she helped to make happen - on the Champs-Elyses.

“During a single week of July 1967, 164 Americans were killed and 2100 were wounded in city riots in the United States. We are truly fighting a two-front war and doing badly in both.

“Remember that failure is part of the process of successful running. Performance is a roller coaster; to think otherwise is irrational and will cause you much stress and discouragement. Lighten up on yourself. Ups and downs can be expected. The performance of most serious runners fluctuates by the week. You win some, you lose some; some days you're hot, some days you're not. Don't fight with yourself when failure, the teacher, pays an unexpected visit. Open up to learning from it.” ThinkingRunningRememberFightingWinningCausesProcessLosesPaySuccessfulTeacherWeekSeriousPerformancesStressHotExpectedUnexpectedIrrationalRunnersUps & DownsDiscouragementRoller CoasterCoasters Author:Jerry Lynch

“When you play in the Premier League, say you're playing against a lower-end team, they set up to defend all the time, they set up to block you off.
