A half marathon is a good way to have a bit of fun and race against those girls and learn a bit more about them.The world half marathon is a world championship at the end of the day and it's important. I've win it twice and it's a quality event.

Go in any direction..seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

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.

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

I just want to be in the best shape I can be. Not to stand on that start line and say: 'Oh my God, I have this injury and that injury.' I just want to be able to go out and race.

No one remembers who came fourth.

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