There is no money in it and no fame, frequently not even the approval of peers. But as poets, apostles and philosophers have insisted from the dawn of time, there is more to life than logic and common sense. The ultra runners know this instinctively. And they know something else that is lost on the sedentary. They understand, perhaps better than anyone, that the doors to the spirit will swing open with physical effort. In running such long and taxing distances they answer a call from the deepest realms of their being — a call that asks who they are …” David Blaikie

66. “It doesn’t always get worse.” attributed to Ann Trason

72. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt
73. “Find the level of intolerance you can tolerate and stay there.” David Horton

75. “Pain and suffering are often the catalysts for life’s most profound lessons.” Dean Karnazes
76. “Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life.” Susan David

85. “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” John F. Kennedy
86. “Ultra runners can fail like everyone else. But we’re unique in how fast, and gladly, we return to the arena.”

Our speed and strength depend on our body, but the real thresholds, those that make us give up or continue the struggle, those that enable us to fulfill our dreams, depend not on our bodies but on our minds and the hunger we feel to turn dreams into reality.” Kilian Jornet
88. “Heroism is endurance for one moment more.” George F Kennan
89. “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.” Bill Bowerman

91. “I always tell my athletes, don’t confuse difficulty with failure.” Eric Orton
92. “People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming they’ll go to any length to live longer. But I don’t think that’s the reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you’re going to while away the years, it’s far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive than in a fog, and I believe running helps you do that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that’s the essence of running…” Haruki Murakami

101. “Your body will argue that there is no justifiable reason to continue. Your only recourse is to call on your spirit, which fortunately functions independently of logic.” Tim Noakes
