Marathons are good training goals.
Jason Bateman
Image
Marathons are hard because of the physical pain, the pounding on the muscles, joints, tendons.
Lance Armstrong
Image
Marathons are extraordinarily difficult, but if you've got the training under your belt, and if you can run smart, the races take care of themselves. When you have the enthusiasm and the passion, you end up figuring how to excel.
Deena Kastor
Image
Marathons are about tenacity as much as talent.
John Bingham
Image
Marathon running is a terrible experience: monotonous, heavy, and exhausting.
Veikko Karvonen

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world's best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.
Hunter S. Thompson

Marathoning is a metaphor for life, so there are a lot of parallels you can draw. I tell people to follow your dream, follow your heart, follow your passion, run your own race and believe in yourself. I think anybody who wants to succeed has to have passion. My love for this sport, you can't instill it in someone else.

When I came to New York in 1978, I was a full-time school teacher and track runner, and determined to retire from competitive running. But winning the New York City Marathon kept me running for another decade.

If the human body recognized agony and frustration, people would never run marathons, have babies, or play baseball.
Carlton Fisk

If youre a vegan who ran a marathon & got your dogs from a shelter, how do you decide which thing to wedge into the conversation first?
Ken Jennings

As a comedian, as an entertainer, there's a lot of downtime. Once you can accept that comedy is a marathon, not a sprint, it gets a little easier.
Iliza Shlesinger

I haven't done a marathon for a long time. So we'll see. I will need good luck.
Haile Gebrselassie
Image
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
Chrissie Wellington
Image
I ran my first marathon in Florida in 1985. I had never run more than nine miles.
Kim Alexis
Image
In high school, during marathon phone conversations, cheap pizza dinners and long suburban car rides, I began to fall for boys because of who they actually were, or at least who I thought they might become.
J. Courtney Sullivan
Image
I got plenty of cautions that one or two of these marathons was all a man should do in a lifetime.
Clarence DeMar
Image
I want to encourage people to make healthy life choices, whether it's training for a half-marathon, or eating more vegetables.
Kina Grannis
Image
Toeing the starting line of a marathon, regardless of the language you speak, the God you worship or the color of your skin, we all stand as equal. Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people ran.
Dean Karnazes

I miss my Dad. My Dad loved cheesy monster movies, so we'd have Godzilla movie marathons. Those are some of my favorite memories, laughing at how the monster outfits were so bad, like black garbage bags for heads.
Ahmet Zappa

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

Winning times in the New York City Marathon have not dropped all that much over the years, but rather U.S. runners went backward. In 1983, there were 267 U.S. men who broke 2:20 in a marathon, and by 2000 that number was down to 27.
Alberto Salazar
Image
On the Bowery, in the ornate carcass of a formerly grand vaudeville theater, a dance marathon limps along. The contestants, young girls and their fellas, hold one another up, determined to make their mark, to bite back at the dreams sold to them in newspaper advertisements and on the radio. They have sores on their feet but stars in their eyes.
Libba Bray

The marathon is a competition between your will and your possibilities
Jeff Galloway

You entered a marathon with hills? You idiot.
