byLarry EderWhen you see an elite athlete run a great race, know that the seeds of that race begain 12-15 years ago. Core training and the daily workouts are what build success. Many athletes sucked in high school, and many of those late developers had huge challenges. The top athletes who have had many successes also have challenges. Our sport is personal and emotional. It is about appreciating our mortal engines.
