Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country.

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.

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

What can you do if a part of it is uphill? You can't work out another route. You've just got to run the one they give you. But they tell me London is a nice course. Even the cobbles, I hope, are not very much of a problem for me.

Why should I say I will retire in three or four years? You retire the very moment you utter those words.

Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country.

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.
