I just want to be in the best shape I can be. Not to stand on that start line and say: 'Oh my God, I have this injury and that injury.' I just want to be able to go out and race.

There's always going to be somebody who takes a dislike to you and you can't waste time worrying about it.

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.

I don't like going away from my children.

At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.

Plenty of people who are 38 have run really well in the marathon.

I would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.
