I deliberately returned slowly to training after Raphael was born and everything, apart from being bitten by a dog while out training in Monaco at the beginning of the year, has gone pretty well.

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.

At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.

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

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.

No one remembers who came fourth.

I'm confident of what I have to achieve in the buildup to London 2012.
