    So I have this thing on my homepage that gives me daily motivational running quotes, and today they gave me this:

    "Marathon running is a terrible experience:
    monotonous, heavy, and exhausting". -Veikko Karvonen, 1954 European and
    Boston Marathon Champ


    That is probably the least motivational quote I've ever heard. It might be true... but still...

    any other really bad quotes/quotes you hate?

    Overused? Yes. Lame? I would't say that. If pre wasn't as overadvertised as he is and all the noobs wouldn't be all "OMG PRE IS THE BEST RUNNER EVER!!!!!" you woundn't hate his quotes.

    I have a friend that told me this once before a race "no matter how fast you run, just remember you suck balls" Very very motivational Rolling Eyes I ran a low 17 that day.

    Karvonen did have a point with the marathon quote though.
