"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If you&amp;amp;#39;re training for a long distance event like a &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/marathon-training-and-running-tips-2911251&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;marathon&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, get inspired with these motivational quotes about long distance running.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-T. S. Eliot&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you&amp;amp;#39;re young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don&amp;amp;#39;t let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/running-quotes-from-john-bingham-2911756&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;John Bingham&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, running speaker and writer&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;Good things come slow - especially in distance running.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-Bill Dellinger, Oregon coach&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;Running long offers a dress rehearsal. Running long teaches the stress of lifting feet 5,000 times per hour. Running long builds confidence.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-Hal Higdon&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;Long distance training can be a positive and constructive form of selfishness. After all, once you&amp;amp;#39;re at the starting line, you&amp;amp;#39;re there by yourself. No one can run a single step for you. No one can jump in and help you. No one but you can make the decisions about what to do to keep going. It&amp;amp;#39;s all up to you.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/running-quotes-from-john-bingham-2911756&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;John Bingham&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, running speaker and writer&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;Nobody is going to win a 5,000 meter race after running an easy two miles. Not with me. If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/steve-prefontaine-quotes-2911764&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Steve Prefontaine&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it&amp;amp;#39;s hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-Monte Davis&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;Long distance running is 90% mental and the other half is physical.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-Rich Davis&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;You can&amp;amp;#39;t cram for the final. By that, I mean you&amp;amp;#39;re not going to get any fitter during the last couple of weeks before the race. So don\u2019t try cramming any last minute long runs or extra training.

For example, rather than obsessing about the distance that remains, simply complete the next mile in good form...try another, then another, until the race is done.&amp;amp;#34;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;-Jerry Lynch&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;The marathon.

You&amp;amp;#39;re still here. Take pride in wherever you finish.
