Motivational Runner Saying

I still bother with runners I call hamburgers. They’re never going to run any record times, but they can fulfill their own potential.
Bill Bowerman.

You don’t run against a bloody stop watch, do you hear? A runner runs against himself, against the best that's in him. Not against a dead thing of wheels and pulleys. That's the way to be great, running against yourself. Against all the rotten mess in the world. Against God, if you’re good enough.
Bill Persons

Jesse Owens

Good things come slow, especially in distance running.
Bill Dellinger

Marathon running is a terrible experience: monotonous, heavy, and exhausting.
Veikko Karvonen, 1954 European and Boston Marathon Champ

"Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible."
Doug Larson

Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before, advanced a stage or two upon that road which you must travel in the steps they trod.
