More quotes by Jeff Galloway
The most important force inside you for feeling better all the time is the will to get more fit.
Jeff Galloway
A lifestyle change begins with a vision and a single step.
Jeff Galloway
The marathon is a competition between your will and your possibilities
Jeff Galloway
Here is the start, there is the finish line. Between that, you have to run.
Jeff Galloway
I spent the first twenty years of my running career trying to run as many miles as I could as fast as I could. Then I spent the next twenty years trying to figure out how to run the least amount of miles needed to finish a marathon. And I've come to the conclusion the second way is much more enjoyable.
Jeff Galloway
Everyone has stress. A good run may not erase it, but it can reduce the effect and allow runners to gain control.
Jeff Galloway
Find a way to enjoy parts of every run. Most of your runs should be mostly enjoyable.
Jeff Galloway
When I finish a run, every part of me is smiling.
Jeff Galloway
The more you frame the marathon as a stressful experience, the more negative messages you'll receive. But it's just as easy to frame it as a positively challenging journey.
Jeff Galloway
The label of 'marathoner' has, from the beginning, been awarded to those who went the distance under their own power, whether they ran, walked, crawled or tiptoed. When you cross that finish line, you've entered an elite group. About one-tenth of one percent of the population has done it. Don't let anyone take that great achievement away from you.
Jeff Galloway
Our bodies crave exercise, and reward us in so many ways when we do so.
Jeff Galloway
Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack.
Jeff Galloway
If you're laboring up a steep hill, imagine that a towrope is attached to the center of your chest, pulling you steadily toward the top.
