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

Never set limits, go after your dreams, don't be afraid to push the boundaries. And laugh a lot - it's good for you!

I set myself some specific goals, but the key one is just getting myself into as good a shape as possible for one day this year: the Olympic marathon.

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.

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

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

You can wish as hard as you like but all that really matters is the shape you're in on the day of the race. I've always felt these really big races aren't necessarily won by whoever is the fastest. They're won by the athlete who is the smartest and in the best shape on the day.
