I've no desire to do one of those 50-mile races like the Comrades or anything like that.

Actually I don't choose to expose myself in public. I choose to compete; the other side just comes with the package.

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.

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

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

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.

I'm not meek at all.

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.
