The more you are getting older, you lose a little something. Of course there is another advantage, because of your long experience you can use it.

Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country. For me sometimes it is difficult even to know who the athletes are who are competing at the highest level. There are thousands.

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.

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

My school was six miles away from where I lived on the farm. I had to walk and run, there and back every day, through gorges and over rivers. If I was late, there was a very big stick waiting for me.

Eradicate poverty. This is all that matters in my country. When I am out training I think about this a lot; when I am running it is going over in my mind. As a country we cannot move forward until we eradicate poverty.
