When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

At the moment I am a little bit politician, yes. I think that could be my next step. It is not because I want power, it is because of what I think I could do for the people.

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

Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country. For me sometimes it is difficult even to know who the athletes are who are competing at the highest level. There are thousands.

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

Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.

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