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

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

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

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

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.

I would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.

From my training I can get a good idea of what I'm capable of.
