I can't imagine living and not running.

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

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

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

I have always loved running on the roads, ever since I used to take part in relays for my club when I was 12 and 13. I felt really at home on the surface.

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

If you look back at my marathons and ask whether I would swap one of them for my one balls-up, of course I would. But you can't choose. You have to make the best of it on the day.
