I'm A Runner First Before Anything Else.

You Know The Marathon In My Country Is Just Exceptional. It's Like Soccer In England. If England Win The World Cup And Ethiopia Win The Marathon - It's The Same.

I Know What I Want When I Start A Marathon: To Win! But What Do You Want? Make Sure You're Clear In Advance And Don't Go Out Too Fast.

You Know For Me When I Promise Something I Want To Deliver. If You Don't, You Have To Disappear.

When You Talk About World Record Times, You Have To Understand That Everything Must Be Perfect The Weather, The Course, The Temperature. It Is Not Always Enough To Be In Good Shape.

The More You Are Getting Older, You Lose A Little Something. Of Course There Is Another Advantage, Because Of Your Long Experience You Can Use It.
