When you see an athlete win an Olympic medal or a global championship medal, what do you think? How easy they made it look? How much luck was involved? Was it luck? Was it that run, 8 years ago, when one did not want to go out to train? Was it that hard tempo session six months ago? Or was it the day in, day out, consistent training, support from coaches, trainers, training partners, family, friends, that made that extra difference? Over this season, as we reveal training tips, and suggestions to you, know that we learn as much from failures as from successes. Run happy. Run alive.
