I've been to three Olympics and I don't feel I've ever quite achieved my best at any of them.

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

I just want to be in the best shape I can be. Not to stand on that start line and say: 'Oh my God, I have this injury and that injury.' I just want to be able to go out and race.

I think your body is just a little bit stronger after pregnancy.

I have always run as hard as I can. You are not going to run any harder with or without men. You are running on your own two feet.

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

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.
