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.

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.

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.

This is what I wanted. They tell me that London is the best field in history. I wanted to be part of that. Because everyone will be there it will be a wonderful challenge for me. You can see the best runners, how they look, how they run. For me to beat the best is what counts.

For me a day without training is like a day without eating.

The marathon always starts after 30K. That's where the problems start. You start without any problems, without any pain. All the pain comes after 30K. Sometimes, it's possible to have pain even in the finger.

You know for me when I promise something I want to deliver. If you don't, you have to disappear.
