I think your body is just a little bit stronger after pregnancy.

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

I have always loved running on the roads, ever since I used to take part in relays for my club when I was 12 and 13. I felt really at home on the surface.

I set myself some specific goals, but the key one is just getting myself into as good a shape as possible for one day this year: the Olympic marathon.

I don't feel guilty in having pleasure!

The biggest danger is trying to put too much pressure on yourself, trying to get in too good shape.

I am not driven by any bitterness by what happened in Athens. I learnt a lot of lessons from it and probably came through it a stronger person in the end. There have been a lot of near misses, and that's taught me to keep persevering and that there is a chance it can come right.
