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.

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.

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

I always tell young athletes the same thing, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, what must your top priority be? Running.'

I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body, great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say, then always my body comes first.

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

When I wake up at 5 in the morning is it just to jog? Definitely not, I give it all of my efforts.
