Winning is not just about the trophy; it's about the journey and the effort put in every day leading up to the competition.

My coach Patrick always says that your mind is your biggest asset; the marathon is not just about winning, but about accomplishing every day.

Running is a powerful means of self-exploration and can lead to enlightenment by confronting your true self.

If we bring our minds together, we can achieve more; running can unite the world.

Transforming your relationship with activities, like running, can lead to enjoyment; I learned to love running by focusing on the quality of each step rather than the goal. An intrinsic approach ultimately improves the quality of our efforts, leading to greater extrinsic rewards when both motivations align.

Give your all to your goals, not just to win, but out of respect for the process and the joy of building something meaningful.

What motivates me is the love of sport and the inspiration I receive from messages around the world, which energizes me to run every day.

While running, I often reflect on how to make the world a more peaceful and clean place, envisioning a united world where everyone can run together.

The ultimate goal should be to use your energy to help others and create positive change, rather than to simply defeat others.
