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.

It is not my duty to spend my money in my country, but it is what I want to do. There is nowhere else I would like to invest.

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.

Life is a kind of struggle. Life is a sort of fight.

In the rainy season, sometimes to get to the first lesson we had to run really quick, because we had to cross the river to school and we'd have to go up and down the bank to find a place to cross because there is no bridge.

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

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