I have always preferred to liken the championship to a marathon. You have to know how to start the race, how to take the strain when problems come along and to make sure you don't give any potentially dangerous rivals an advantage. My policy is to ideally have five or six men around the age of 26, a couple of youngsters, a couple round the 28 mark and one or two in their 30s. But the nucleus of the team should be experienced and not too old.
The American dream is not a sprint or even a marathon but a relay.
In the marathon of life, there is no finish line.
Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.
I couldn't be more excited to return to the ING New York City Marathon.
Training for a marathon is much like climbing a ladder. Each ring is a short-term goal that must be met in sequence in order to reach the long-term goal at the top of the ladder.
I look at directing as a sporting event. It's a race, a marathon. It's great when it clicks, which is why I push my crews so hard so we can excel.
Never run more than 3 hours straight in training, whether your marathon best is 2:42 or 4:24.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint; pace yourself accordingly.
I gave birth to my first son in April 1986. I thought it would be a good goal to get back in shape after having a baby if I ran the New York City Marathon. I ran in it November 1986. I had just shot the 'Sports Illustrated' swimsuit issue, so I was in great shape.
Not everybody is going to run a marathon or do a triathlon. It's not necessary to do that to be in good health.
I wanted to try marathon running, but something always came up: I had a baby and a C-section or I got injured or I just didn't think I could run that far.
There is a special mystique about the marathon, for example, because of its length-but that's just the bit you do at the end of an Ironman
