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.

I have been doing 120 miles a week, when normally I would do about 140.

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

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

We, as athletes, have our suspicions about who's cheating, but I'm not convinced that the testing has yet caught up with what people are using or what they are using to disguise it.

I don't like going away from my children.

I used to say that the newspapers were tomorrow's fish and chip paper, but I didn't really mean it; I could still be hurt by what they said. After Athens, I just didn't care.
