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.

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

I am not driven by any bitterness by what happened in Athens. I learnt a lot of lessons from it and probably came through it a stronger person in the end. There have been a lot of near misses, and that's taught me to keep persevering and that there is a chance it can come right.

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

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

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