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.

I know what I want when I start a marathon: to win! But what do you want? Make sure you're clear in advance and don't go out too fast.

I haven't done a marathon for a long time. So we'll see. I will need good luck.

If you are a really good marathoner, you have to run New York.

You know the marathon in my country is just exceptional. It's like soccer in England. If England win the world cup and Ethiopia win the marathon - it's the same.

Schooling is so important.

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