If you are getting ready for a Marathon, here are some Inspirational Marathon Running Quotes about the physical and mental challenges of running a marathon. These Quotes will help you to get motivation for Marathon.

Steve Prefontaine

A lot of people run a race to see who is the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5,000-meter race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself

Hal Higdon

There is no such thing as an average runner.  We are all above average

Amby Burfoot

Running has taught me that there’s no reason to fear starting lines…or other new beginnings

Unknown

Ben Cheever

Running has thrown me into adventures that I would otherwise have missed

Jim Rohn

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment

We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon

Lance Armstrong

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with? Facing up to that question, and finding a way to go on, is the real reward, better than any trophy

I hope these Inspirational Marathon Running Quotes will help you get motivated for your upcoming marathon. Best of luck!
