“ The more I talk to athletes, the more convinced I become that the method of training is relatively unimportant. There are many ways to the top, and the training method you choose is just the one that suits you best. No, the important thing is the attitude [...]

I always turn to the sports pages first,
which records people’s accomplishments.
The front page has nothing but man’s failures.

what is impossible??

Doctors and scientists said that breaking the four-minute mile was impossible, that one would die in the attempt. Thus, when I got up from the track after collapsing at the finish line, I figured I was dead.

Tri-mantra (to be hissed or groaned at any unfriendly hill)

In my world,
The water is cold,
The wind is hard,
And the road never ends.
In my world,
There are no losers.
Only competitors

And spectators
waiting to be inspired.
In my world,
Victory is not weighed in gold,
But in determination and courage.
In my world,
There are no boundaries,
No limits,
There is no end.
Every day is the last day of my life,
And the [...]
