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

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.

I prefer just a women's race. It's a totally different game mentally.

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

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

I used to say that the newspapers were tomorrow's fish and chip paper, but I didn't really mean it; I could still be hurt by what they said. After Athens, I just didn't care.

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.
