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

I have to change a lot of things before I become a good marathon runner.

I want to avoid injuries by running only road.

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

I think if you come first with a new world record, that is the best.

When I run in Ethiopia, I look out and see eucalyptus trees and rivers.

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