You know, I must be honest here - running for me is a straightforward form of torture. Yet, although I prefer to get from point A to B at my shuffling kind of pace, reading these running quotes has inspired me greatly. I'm still not sure what they have inspired me to do, but now I kinda get the elation people feel when they finish their run! So, whether you are a devoted runner or a slower-moving person like me, these quotes about running will stir something in you either way.

Unlike the other sports quotes, these ones have a nice undercurrent in all of them, and it's being disconnected from the busy world around you and channeling your thoughts into yourself. Kind of having quality alone time with you, your thoughts, and your body. Now, that can also be achieved with plenty of other sports, but running, judging from these wonderful quotes, seems to be the number one in this category. Another thing these inspiring quotes talk so often about is perseverance. And we all know that without perseverance, good things don't really come your way. Seems like running is an excellent school for that!

So, tighten your shoelaces, do some stretching and let's run straight into these moving quotes together! Once you are there, vote for the best quotes about running from this list, and don't forget to share this article with your friends.
