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.

An Olympic medal won't define my whole life, although it might look like it to onlookers. When I look back, I should have been able to get an Olympic medal.

I've been to three Olympics and I don't feel I've ever quite achieved my best at any of them.

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

Never set limits, go after your dreams, don't be afraid to push the boundaries. And laugh a lot - it's good for you!

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.

Today was not about times, it was about getting in there, enjoying the race, and enjoying the atmosphere
