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

I'm not meek at all. ↗

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. ↗

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

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. ↗

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. ↗

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. ↗

In the week before a race, I try to stay away from germ areas. I keep disinfectant wipes in my bag for when I have to use a supermarket trolley or something like that. ↗

It's totally different from last year because I came in with good shape with no health worries so it was about going out there and running well and enjoying it. ↗
