I prefer just a women's race. It's a totally different game mentally.

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.

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

I have achieved a lot and I'm grateful for that - I'm just a bit greedy because I want to add the Olympics. It's once every four years - everyone wants it and very few people get it.

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

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

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.
