Marathon Quotes

    “If you run a marathon, you’re going to get tired. It would make no sense to hire a coach and say, ‘I want you to help me train so I don’t get tired when I run a marathon.’ The only difference between the tens of thousands of people who finish the marathon and those that don’t is that the finishers figured out where to put their tired.”

    Seth Godin, The Practice (Page 169)

      David Goggins Quote on Callousing Your Mind and How I Ran A Marathon Without Running Training

      “It takes twenty years to gain twenty years of experience, and the only way to move beyond your 40 percent is to callous your mind, day after day.  Which means you’ll have to chase pain like it’s your damn job!”

      Beyond the Quote (235/365)

      On Sunday, August 23rd, 2020, I ran my second marathon. I didn’t follow any specific running plans and did but only one training run (13.1 miles) leading up to it the week before. The most I had done besides that was a mile or two around my block at any given time in the whole year prior. Why do I tell you this? Because while I didn’t do any official running training for that run, I have been training my body for war for over two decades. And if you start doing the same, your body might be able to perform in ways that surpass your wildest expectations as well.

        “It doesn’t matter where you stand in relation to your friends, your family, your colleagues, or clients.  All that matters is your personal journey.  It’s tempting to look at others as a yardstick and convince yourself that you’re all the way out in front, with the appearance of a lead, or resign yourself to the back of the pack.  But that’s not the point.  The race of life is a marathon, not a sprint.  The only thing to do is focus on the path in front of you.  Look ahead.  Establish your own pace.  Keep moving forward.  And then create that plan.” ~ Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game
