“Eat less crap.”

“THERE ARE NO shortcuts, and by perpetually looking for them you are wasting valuable time.”
― Ruth Field, Get Off Your Ass and Run!: A Tough-Love Running Program for Losing the Excuses and the Weight

“Stop wanting things to be easy. Once you accept – and I mean really accept – that life is not easy, it actually becomes a lot more manageable because you stop resisting the hard work, and find the determination and grit that is required in order to achieve anything worthwhile. This is going to be hard. But – and this is the crucial BUT – you are going to start enjoying hard. Embracing hard. Hard is going to be the new black.”

“THE GRIT DOCTOR SAYS: It depresses The Grit Doctor how something as simple as drinking more water is such a barrier for so many people. Really, what’s wrong with you people? In place of water you drink fizzy drinks and endless cups of tea and coffee. Not only are these drinks full of useless calories, but most of them act as a diuretic, so they dehydrate rather than rehydrate, making you thirsty, tired and lacking in energy.”

“Whatever you have going on in your life that makes you think you are different from everyone else, it is just another excuse. Get over it. We all have the same twenty-four hours. Singletons, couples, fat dads, thin mums, deranged mothers of multiples, young girls, old monks. Put on your trainers. Be all that you can be. Run.”

“6. It’s raining; it’s too cold; it’s too dark; it’s too windy We live in one of the worst climates for rain. But look at it this way, neither the FA Cup Final nor the London Marathon get cancelled because of the rain. Rain is no impediment whatsoever to a run. In many ways it is a bonus feature. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get if you stick two fingers up to the worst of the elements and just run. The world rewards you for your efforts by making you look ten times rosier than after a run in less arduous conditions and leaves you feeling like you could climb Everest. Dress appropriately and go for it. I promise you, when you have done this once you will never use the weather excuse again.”
