A Quote by Don Kardong

Fartlek, or speed play, is variable-pace running that emphasizes creativity. During a 30-minute run, choose objects to run to - telephone poles, trees, buildings, other runners, whatever. Make choices that mark off different distances, so your pickups vary in length from 15 to 90 seconds, and modify your pace to match the distance.

A change of pace in terms of your running pace will give you strength psychologically.

Bill Rodgers

You'll see that excuses like "That's not easy" are of no value and that it pays to "push through it" at a pace you can handle. Like getting physically fit, the most important thing is that you keep moving forward at whatever pace you choose, recognizing the consequences of your actions.

Ray Dalio

If you put down a good, solid foundation and build one room after another, pretty soon you have a house. You build in your speedwork, your pace and increase your ability to run races and think races out. Then it's possible to run the way we do.

Rod Dixon

I don't run straight at a constant pace; soccer is always a change of pace and movement.

Alex Morgan

Based on my experience; I would develop fast speed before anything else. Get your young runners so they can run and teach them speed.

Gerry Lindgren

My biggest strength is the way I vary pace without any change in my hand-speed. The batsmen can't make out.

Yuzvendra Chahal

It was a very strange, disappointing race in that no one wanted to take it out. That's why I took the lead. I wanted some people to run the real distance and that was frustrating. So I took the pace around the second lap, which in some ways is suicidal...but I wanted the pace to be honest.

Marla Runyan

A career in showbiz is like a distance run. You have to have patience and pace yourself.

Tate Donovan

I think an artist can fit under a few different categories depending on how much you explore your creativity. It can vary from artist to artist from musician to performer to vocalist. I thrive on creativity. So in the long run I want to be an all around entertainer.

Christina Aguilera

Fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run.

Rudyard Kipling

Marathon training doesn't have to be a grind. By running for about 30 minutes two times a week, and by gradually increasing the length of a third weekly run-the long run-anyone can finish a marathon.

Jeff Galloway

Have fun in your command. Don't always run at a breakneck pace. Take leave when you've earned it, spend time with your families.

Colin Powell

The advantage doesn't come because you can run more than someone over 90 minutes. The advantage comes when, in the tenth minute, I'm sprinting back and making another guy chase me. By the end of the game, that guy's worn down, but I can still keep going at the same pace.

Landon Donovan

I run four miles most days, at about 8:00 to 8:15 pace. It's totally relaxed.

Alberto Salazar

I don't run after speed. Obviously, it will be better to have some more pace, but I am very well aware that I can't bowl with the speed of 150 kmph. I am working hard on my technique and variations.
