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.

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.

The biggest danger is trying to put too much pressure on yourself, trying to get in too good shape.

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

As an athlete, there are advantages being with a team and getting regular physio...

You can't magic yourself back 10 years.

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