For those who haven't seen it, our own Gary Allen is quoted at length on pages 104 and 106 of the just out November issue of Runner's World (the one with Lance on the cover): "HAVE FUN. 'I find that some folks are so fixated on performance, they view the daily training as stressful,'Pierce says. Contrast that with Gary Allen, who has racked up an incredible 41 sub-three hour marathons since 1978. 'When people ask me how I've done it, I say by being consistent and keeping it fun,' he says. Allen, 49, keeps his training enjoyable by surrounding himself with good running partners and by exporing new routes around his home on Great Cranberry Island, Maine. While you may not be lucky enough on your long runs to spot moose or bald eagles, as Allen has, whatever you do to make running fun should keep you heading out for years to come."
