You see, with me, when I'm nervous, I smile and laugh.

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.

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

I try not to worry about things that I can't control.

If you look back at my marathons and ask whether I would swap one of them for my one balls-up, of course I would. But you can't choose. You have to make the best of it on the day.

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

I'm confident of what I have to achieve in the buildup to London 2012.
