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

I took a lot of bad things after Athens. I just learnt to deal with it. The problem was beforehand I had this feeling where I was trying to please everybody - I wanted everybody to like me.

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

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

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

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

I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York, but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event, a lot more my event.
