You can't become a winner overnight, or even in a couple of years-it takes time... You will lose races and you will have to accept that, learn from it and believe that you'll win the next one, knowing that you'll probably lose that as well. All the time you have to keep believing that one day you will win.

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.

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

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

I don't feel guilty in having pleasure!

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