Balance is overrated. What we really need is purpose.
There will always be a gap between who we are and who we want to be. And that’s a good thing.
Easy today guarantees harder tomorrow.
Routine is the difference between potential and reality.
Paradoxically, the more disciplined the routine, the easier it feels to follow.
The mind craves excitement, but the body craves repetition.
Hard isn’t a problem. It’s the whole point.
We cannot fail if we do not quit.
Race day results are a reflection of the work, not a miracle.
There are only ever two options: discomfort now or discomfort later.
One path feels fast; the other is fast.
Most people avoid hard things.
The athlete who repeats ordinary days ends up extraordinary.
The hard part isn’t working hard.
Most training days cannot, by definition, be outliers.
All things in life decay unless we pay to maintain it.
Real progress comes from the efforts that others don't see.
The easy life is the one that actually costs the most.
Patience is the skill that makes all the others possible.
If it were easy, it wouldn’t work.
Build a routine you love, and let it work for you.
Because running protects the version of ourselves we want to be.
Most of us don’t burn out from lack of effort. We burn out from thinking it should be working faster.
