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

What is important is to win.

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.

If your body is damaged, wounded, it can be fixed, but if inside, mentally, you are wounded you cannot fix it, it's hard.

When you talk about world record times, you have to understand that everything must be perfect the weather, the course, the temperature. It is not always enough to be in good shape.

I want to avoid injuries by running only road.

Eradicate poverty. This is all that matters in my country. When I am out training I think about this a lot; when I am running it is going over in my mind. As a country we cannot move forward until we eradicate poverty.
