I don't like going away from my children.

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.

You can be strong and true to yourself without being rude or loud.

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.

It's totally different from last year because I came in with good shape with no health worries so it was about going out there and running well and enjoying it.

You can't magic yourself back 10 years.

I actually got a nice surprise about being a mother because I expected it to be harder and to have to make more adaptations.
