Myles & Myles

We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves…The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, ‘You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.’ The human spirit is indomitable.

Sir Roger Bannister (via shespoetic)

I always loved running…it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs

(Training) is just like life — you don’t think you can get it all done, but if you break it down into little pieces then you can get through anything. So it was just a matter of staying focused on what to train for that day and not to think of the 26.2 miles.
