Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.

You lose the speed before the stamina.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

In the marathon a crazy athlete can just keep pushing from the beginning, at a championship you don't need a time just to win the race.

If your body is damaged, wounded, it can be fixed, but if inside, mentally, you are wounded you cannot fix it, it's hard.

You know, I want to help my country. Definitely I can help them, simply by winning races. Sure, they can follow my path to a good career. But for me it is not enough. I want to be more than that. In everything I want to be a role model.

I can't change everything by myself but I can be one of the people who are trying to change the situation.
