Best 6 quotes of Karl Meltzer on MyQuotes

I look at road marathons as a totally different sport. Those guys are stupid fast. It is unbelievable. I might be a top ultrarunner, but put me in the field with those guys and I'm just another guy trying to break three hours. Road-running is far more competitive.

Watch out for cliffs on the left.  Fatal spot again.
