Athletes have to be confident and I am thinking like that.

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.

At the end of the day, people want to see how fast you run.

I'm a runner first before anything else.

What can you do if a part of it is uphill? You can't work out another route. You've just got to run the one they give you. But they tell me London is a nice course. Even the cobbles, I hope, are not very much of a problem for me.

Life is a kind of struggle. Life is a sort of fight.

Considering that the race is star-studded no runner will be willing to set the pace for the others. This is why a record will be almost impossible.
