If I don't train enough, of course I'm nervous.

That is not enough. Sport has been great for me, a great learning place that if you want to achieve you can, even if you are from the poorest part of Africa.

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

I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa, so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there, near my family, my kids, also the real estate business I run with my wife.

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

I want to avoid injuries by running only road.

I have to change a lot of things before I become a good marathon runner.
