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

I apologise to people when I need to.

I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York, but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event, a lot more my event.

For an athlete, the biggest pressure comes from within. You know what you want to do and what you're capable of.

A half marathon is a good way to have a bit of fun and race against those girls and learn a bit more about them.The world half marathon is a world championship at the end of the day and it's important. I've win it twice and it's a quality event.

It's totally different from last year because I came in with good shape with no health worries so it was about going out there and running well and enjoying it.

Doing the long endurance stuff seems to have given me the strength to sustain the speed. I think my body is just a lot stronger (thanks to the marathon)... By increasing the long runs, I found that does not take anything away from the speed but increases the strength on the track.
