I don't feel guilty in having pleasure!

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 am not going to let Athens affect the rest of my life.

I have been doing 120 miles a week, when normally I would do about 140.

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

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

You can't become a winner overnight, or even in a couple of years-it takes time... You will lose races and you will have to accept that, learn from it and believe that you'll win the next one, knowing that you'll probably lose that as well. All the time you have to keep believing that one day you will win.
