What is the best advice you got – running or otherwise – in the last 50 years?

1) To start out more slowly at the beginning of races (from teammate Andy Heiskell in high school)

2) To run hard one day, and run easy or rest the next (from my Olympic coach Bill Bowerman)

3) To not give up (from my Mom)
