In practice
Sharing the quote during a morning running group meet-up.
If you are humble, your concentration will be very high. That's the way to go in sports.
One of my first races came over 10km in 2002. I won that race and it felt great. I would say that is when I first fell in love with running.
I'm confident to say that if you want to grow in a profession, consistency is the key... I'm strict about my work goals and training.
Where the marathon starts is after 30 kilometers. That's where you feel pain everywhere in your body. The muscles are really aching, and only the most prepared and well-organized athlete is going to do well after that.
I am running to make history, to show that no human is limited. It's not about money, it's about showing a generation of people that there are no limits.
I've always found the secret is to stay fit and treat sport as a profession. I chose sport as a passion.
Do not let your fire go out ... Do not let the Hero in your soul perish ... Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.

What I want for my fans and for the world, for anyone who feels pain, is to lean into that pain and embrace it as much as they can and begin the healing process.
If you can't figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.
I'm firmly of the belief that your youth should be spent pursuing your passion - not just slightly, tremulously, haltingly, but unrelentingly, with a vengeance, to the max and then beyond. So dream laughably big - and then take an absurdly huge risk or two.
