Quotes to ponder:

"Sometimes you have to take a step back and relearn the basics in order to move forward."

"Just because you can run fast does not necessarily mean you don’t have poor or inefficient movement patterns."

"Running is a skill. While we all may be born to run, if we want to run more efficiently, it makes sense that we might have to set our egos aside and take two steps backward before we can run forward."
