As an athlete, there are advantages being with a team and getting regular physio...

In the marathon anything can happen.

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.

In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.

I deliberately returned slowly to training after Raphael was born and everything, apart from being bitten by a dog while out training in Monaco at the beginning of the year, has gone pretty well.

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

I prefer just a women's race. It's a totally different game mentally.
