(pg. 23)…..”That afternoon in the faculty meeting I explained that the favorites  are the people who work hard and do their job to the best of their abilities. The position of a favorite in life isn’t chosen, it’s earned and anyone who has the desire to reap the rewards of hard work can and should do so. Everyone is treated fairly, but not necessarily equally” ….if Runners are treated equally to walkers, runners will begin to decelerate. If walkers are given rewards even though they aren’t earned, what will motivate them to do better?

Walkers know if they can get everyone to walk there will be no demands for them to move faster. -pg 20 (Katie Beach)

.....can switch into high gear when they're called upon to do so or when the stakes are high, but they don't always perform at that level (Katie Beach) - pg 11

It is more that Rufus longs to be part of something really special, something out of the ordinary - a bus that could fly, perhaps. Rufus has plenty of ideas about how to make that happen. (Katie Beach)

"Unfortunately, Runners tend to devote so much time to their job that they often neglect their personal lives. It's important for leaders to keep in mind that even when their Runners seem happy & appear to be thriving at work, they may be dealing with difficult circumstances at home. If they are putting their job first, their family is {sadly} second." p. 6-7

In the big picture, Joggers aren't really hurting anything. They are steady and dependable; they do their jobs and have some amount of success...They don't slow the bus down, but don't make it fly either.
