You can't magic yourself back 10 years.

I can swim I'm not bad, but not great.

I have not had the chance to go out there and do myself justice in an Olympic marathon yet. I have not been able to get to an Olympic marathon injury-free yet.

I have always run as hard as I can. You are not going to run any harder with or without men. You are running on your own two feet.

Go in any direction..seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

You see, with me, when I'm nervous, I smile and laugh.

To represent your country at a home Olympics is something special and I'm over the moon to be selected for Team GB. I was pleased to get the qualifying time in Berlin earlier this year and my sole focus is getting in the right shape for London.
