I find the business world hard.

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

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.

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'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa, so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there, near my family, my kids, also the real estate business I run with my wife.

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

When you promise something, you must fulfill it.
