Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

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
|
Nov 07, 2020

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

Nov 07, 2020

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

Health
|
Nov 07, 2020

Good

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am not driven by any bitterness by what happened in Athens. I learnt a lot of lessons from it and probably came through it a stronger person in the end. There have been a lot of near misses, and that's taught me to keep persevering and that there is a chance it can come right.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's important that athletes can compete on a level playing field. And youngsters coming into the sport can know that if they are working hard and training hard, they'll see a true reflection of where they stand and what they can achieve worldwide and not be swayed by people who are cheating.

Best
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Best
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Fourth
|
Nov 07, 2020

No one remembers who came fourth.

Being
|
Nov 07, 2020

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

Goals
|
Nov 07, 2020

I set myself some specific goals, but the key one is just getting myself into as good a shape as possible for one day this year: the Olympic marathon.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

You can wish as hard as you like but all that really matters is the shape you're in on the day of the race. I've always felt these really big races aren't necessarily won by whoever is the fastest. They're won by the athlete who is the smartest and in the best shape on the day.

Pressure
|
Nov 07, 2020

For an athlete, the biggest pressure comes from within. You know what you want to do and what you're capable of.

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

Magic
|
Nov 07, 2020

You can't magic yourself back 10 years.

Just
|
Nov 07, 2020

Pressure

Happen
|
Nov 07, 2020

In the marathon anything can happen.

Back
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Feet
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have always run as hard as I can. You are not going to run any harder with or without men. You are running on your own two feet.

Nov 07, 2020

Guilty
|
Nov 07, 2020

Confident

Nov 07, 2020

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

Chance
|

I have not had the chance to go out there and do myself justice in an Olympic marathon yet. I have not been able to get to an Olympic marathon injury-free yet.

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

If I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned.

Need

Nov 07, 2020

I apologise to people when I need to.

More

Fall
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always been good at putting things behind me - I fall apart, do my crying bit and then put it away and move it.

Best
|
Nov 07, 2020

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

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

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

Nov 07, 2020

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

Just
|

Nov 07, 2020

Nov 07, 2020

I'm not meek at all.

Nov 07, 2020

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

Grateful
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Beforehand
|
Nov 07, 2020

Running gives me a lot of pleasure. It's something I'll always do, as long as I can.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I never plan to run at a certain pace. All my career my motto has been 'no limits.' I don't try to run with a set time in mind, sticking to set splits, because what happens if you're ahead of your splits - are you going to slow down?

Comrades
