11 RULES TO RUN BY by American Distance Running Legend Gerry Lindgren

1. When you run unselfishly for the benefit, happiness and welfare of other people, you tap into an energy source you could never imagine.

2. You must prove yourself worthy.

3. Reward is greater than effort; you did so little, you got so much.

4. Race with your heart — not with your logical mind.

5. Be humble and appreciative. Never loud and boastful.

6. Make sprint training a part of every week.

7. Dream an enormous dream.

8. Attack your barriers with courage and perseverance.

9. Be aggressive in training and in racing.

10. Attack injuries aggressively but never fear them.

11. Don’t run just to run; run to be you.
