I want to experience that massive adrenalin rush when you step into a new stadium, all the more so when that Olympic Stadium is packed full of people waving British flags.

It's really important for me to look good before a race. I definitely think if I feel I look good, it makes me feel more confident.

I carry a golf ball to put under my feet when they get tight, and a Thera-Band for general stretching.

People who aren't perhaps that into sport are going to be following me and wanting to be part of the Olympics. That definitely does bring added pressure but as an athlete the Olympics are the ultimate competition.

My idea of beauty is somebody that doesn't have to try too much, someone who is effortless and fresh.

I don't look at Twitter between events because it's a distraction but I will ring my fiance and parents to let them know how it's going.

After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.
