Never set limits, go after your dreams, don't be afraid to push the boundaries. And laugh a lot - it's good for you!
You can be strong and true to yourself without being rude or loud.
I can't imagine living and not running.
Yeah, ideally, I'd probably wish to be more anonymous. But scrutiny and success go together. And I want to be successful.
There's always going to be somebody who takes a dislike to you and you can't waste time worrying about it.
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.
In the marathon anything can happen.
When you get close to race day, there's that anticipation and excitement - it's the same whatever level you're running at because the marathon is like a festival.
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.
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.

As an athlete, there are advantages being with a team and getting regular physio.
I've no desire to do one of those 50-mile races like the Comrades or anything like that.
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.
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.
