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

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

Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.

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.

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

I wanted to experience New York, to look up and see buildings.
