Some people start a sport just to reduce weight, or some say, 'My doctor ordered me to run and do exercise', and for others, they run for completely different benefits. But it is not like that with sport. We need to eat, we need to rest, but also we need to run.

I wanted to be famous. I wanted people to talk about me.

I feel a social responsibility. We need to open people's eyes. There is a lack of education in Ethiopia.

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

You lose the speed before the stamina.

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.

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.
