It's quite funny in that I once won Rear of the Year at my school! I was about 17 in the sixth form and we used to have an end of year celebration and give out different awards. I even got a little trophy!

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.

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

I don't want to think of life after competing. But if I were to do anything else I'd go down the psychology route. That's what interests me.

Things have changed so much, with Facebook and Twitter. Everyone is so much more accessible these days: no British athlete has ever experienced what we are experiencing now. It's such a unique situation with the home Olympics.

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

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.
