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

I have not had the chance to go out there and do myself justice in an Olympic marathon yet. I have not been able to get to an Olympic marathon injury-free yet.

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.

I have achieved a lot and I'm grateful for that - I'm just a bit greedy because I want to add the Olympics. It's once every four years - everyone wants it and very few people get it.

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

Plenty of people who are 38 have run really well in the marathon.
