"There are certain types of runner who will never better themselves.
First, we have the moaner, who will moan about the weather, the training session set, the cost of running gear, etc.

Then we have the excuse maker, who always has an excuse for not racing well or finishing a session. "I could have done much better, but my big toe hurt." Look out for those words, "I could have …" The simple fact is, if you line up for a race you must think you are fit. If not, don’t race.

Then, the most despicable of the lot – the poseur. Only the very best attire will suit them – sometimes it is a complete copy of the GB international track suit! They like to do flashy sprints, but when it comes to anything more than 400 metres distance, they have an "injury".

Finally, there is the thinker. This person reads all the magazines on running and hops from one training idea to another in search of a quick solution. They don’t realize that success comes from regular training at different levels of effort each week."
