Get inspired with these running quotes from American running great Bill Rodgers, winner of four Boston and four NYC marathons:
- "Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. It's the easiest sport."
- "Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest."
- "I also feel it usually takes four or five races to hit your best marathon for your body to be accustomed to the training AND the race itself."
- "The marathon can humble you."
- "Aiming for the marathon is a task of sorts which can include terrific highs and lows."
- "I always say if the marathon is a part-time interest, you will only get part-time results."
- "The starting line of the New York City marathon is kind of a giant time bomb behind you about to go off. It is the most spectacular start in sport."
- "I want to run until I can't run."
- "If you want to win a race, you have to go a little berserk."
- "My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble."
- "To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month or even one year -- but for a lifetime."
- "You cannot always run at your best."
