To represent your country at a home Olympics is something special and I'm over the moon to be selected for Team GB. I was pleased to get the qualifying time in Berlin earlier this year and my sole focus is getting in the right shape for London.

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

In the week before a race, I try to stay away from germ areas. I keep disinfectant wipes in my bag for when I have to use a supermarket trolley or something like that.

I am not going to let Athens affect the rest of my life.

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

At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.

In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.
