Monday Morning Motivation – Prefontaine

One of my running heroes is Steve Prefontaine:

Pre was known for going out hard in a race, rather than waiting until the final lap before making a move: “I am going to work so that it’s a pure guts race. In the end, if it is, I’m the only one that can win it”.

Movies about Pre

There are three films about Steve Prefontaine.

Are you going out for a run today? Where do you run? I don’t do a lot of off-road running as I tend to run straight from my house rather than driving somewhere to run.
