If you are a really good marathoner, you have to run New York.

This is what I wanted. They tell me that London is the best field in history. I wanted to be part of that. Because everyone will be there it will be a wonderful challenge for me. You can see the best runners, how they look, how they run. For me to beat the best is what counts.

I used to run to school, 10k every day. And this at altitude, perfect preparation, really.

Some people start a sport just to reduce weight, or some say, 'My doctor ordered me to run and do exercise', and for others, they run for completely different benefits. But it is not like that with sport. We need to eat, we need to rest, but also we need to run.

I'm a runner first before anything else.

I think if you come first with a new world record, that is the best.

I want to avoid injuries by running only road.
