“When you have the passion, you won’t feel the pain. You only feel the pain when somebody is pushing you and you don’t want it. It has to come from you. Your passion, what you really want. I took it, and never looked back. And if you are doing any sport to make money you won’t succeed."
“The majority of runners may have the talent, but you have to break through the pain barrier. That is where many people come down. When it comes to the marathon, when it comes to world records . . . You have to break through the pain barrier. And that comes from many hours of training, concentrating.”
Paul Tergat, April 2009
