If you're planning only to make money and nothing else, you'll be broke.

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

I want to go down in history.

My father thought sport was something fun - he didn't know it was a way to make money.

Athletes have to be confident and I am thinking like that.

Considering that the race is star-studded no runner will be willing to set the pace for the others. This is why a record will be almost impossible.

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.
