About This Item
19 X 15 CM-" The Starting Line Voices from the Midpack (and Elsewhere) Coaches Eat, Drink, But Be Wary Training Fear Racing Records Cross-Country Hills In the Footsteps of Atalanta The Marathon The Mile Mind Over Matter The International Runner Pain The Olympics Medals and Money The Finish Line: Retirement Victories and Defeats Who's Who A few of our favorite quotes: "Bid me run. I will strive with things impossible." Shakespeare's "Long-distance running is particularly good training in perseverance." Chairman Mao "Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos." Don Kardong "Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, like the muscles of the body." Lynn Jennings "If you want to win a race you have to go a little berserk." Bill Rodgers "Running is the greatest metaphor for life because you get out of it what you put into it." Oprah Winfrey's "The mile has all the elements of drama." Roger Bannister "Mind is everything. Muscle pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind." Paavo Nurmi "The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare." Juma Ikangaa "Start slowly, then taper off." Walt Stack "Records are made to be broken." Anonymous Introduction by Mark Will-Weber Compiling a book of quotations is a bit like prospecting. For long, thankless hours you sift through the silt, murk, and bottom mud which comprise the great body of sports literature and journalism all for that rare nugget of gold."
