Yeah, ideally, I'd probably wish to be more anonymous. But scrutiny and success go together. And I want to be successful.

I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned.

Doing the long endurance stuff seems to have given me the strength to sustain the speed. I think my body is just a lot stronger (thanks to the marathon)... By increasing the long runs, I found that does not take anything away from the speed but increases the strength on the track.

I was glad I did a year abroad, because it helped me as an athlete and as a person. That took me out of my comfort zone. Watching the French athletes train in the Pyrenees made me realise what I had to do to become a top athlete.

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

From my training I can get a good idea of what I'm capable of.

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