If we carry on filling up the calendar, we keep on pushing the athlete, we shorten the athletes longevity. The risk is to shorten a career that could have lasted 10 years because the athlete is burnt out.

We want to promote the great quality of athletics - and maintain it's integrity - all over the world.

We are just not made up to be middle distance runners.

And then you have the responsibility and the duty of being good examples to youngsters, not smoke, training hard, go to bed early, don't drink alcohol, don't take drugs, it's very important to have a policy for educating against doping.

You never know the limit of a human being.

I run in practically every single road race in my country, 5k, 10k just to promote the sport.

The most important part of this is to prepare the athlete for life in general and then be able to compete.
