We are what we repeatedly do. Successful running is not a single act, but a habit. It is like filling a bucket with an eyedropper. The process takes days, weeks, months and years of training. One day, the bucket overflows and all the hard work pays off.
Consistency is the mark of a champion.
Your life is filled with many distractions - work, family and personal obligations. You must block out unnecessary distractions and focus on what is important and what will contribute to your goals and success. Focus puts persistence and determination into your training. Consistency without focus is like going through the motions. Remaining injury free is the cornerstone to successful running.
