No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run. We run and run, fast as we can, and we don't stop running until we are out from under the shadow.

Neil Cross

Well, I'm a runner, and I have to run with Secret Service - even though they can run twice as fast. It took me a while to get used to running with them, because I love the solitary aspect of it. So I have two rules. First, I can't hear their feet. And second, I can't see their shadows.

Jill Biden

For me, I just love running in the big moments. That's always been the way. That is what you work so hard for. You don't work hard to run fast in practice or to run fast at small meets.

Christian Coleman

If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.

John Bingham

...one of the best things about running is that no matter how fast you've run in the past, running fast in the future does not come easily or with any guarantees.

James Weldon Johnson

My position is a running back. So, the first part of my position is running. That means I need to run and be fast.

Christian McCaffrey

Why run? I run because I am an animal. I run because it is part of my genetic wiring. I run because millions of years of evolution have left me programmed to run. And finally, I run because there’s no better way to see the sun rise and set... What the years have shown me is that running clarifies the thinking process as well as purifies the body. I think best - most broadly and most fully - when I am running.

Amby Burfoot

Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast.

Emil Zatopek

A monopoly is like running on firm ground. Nothing compels you to move, but if you do, you move forward. The faster you run, the more scenery you see - so you have some incentive to run fast.

Raghuram Rajan

I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can't make your body move fast enough... But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn't running for my life: I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today.

Stephenie Meyer

There's something so universal about that sensation, the way running unites our two most primal impulses: fear and pleasure. We run when we're scared, we run when we're ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time.

Christopher McDougall

Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more.

Stokely Carmichael

One thing is sure: if you want running fast in competition, you must run fast in training. The problem is WHEN and HOW, not IF.

Renato Canova

You can run and run as fast and as far as you like, but the truth is, wherever you run, there you are.

Cecelia Ahern

May is a very early time in the year and the weather is usually bad. You cannot run a fast mile race if there is a strong wind, because it makes your running uneven.
