Actually I Don't Choose To Expose Myself

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 The Marathon Anything Can Happen.

I Deliberately Returned Slowly To Training After Raphael Was Born And Everything, Apart From Being Bitten By A Dog While Out Training In Monaco At The Beginning Of The Year, Has Gone Pretty Well.

I Have Always Loved Running On The Roads, Ever Since I Used To Take Part In Relays For My Club When I Was 12 And 13. I Felt Really At Home On The Surface.

I Was Glad I Did A Year Abroad, Because It Helped Me As An Athlete And As A Person. That Took Me Out Of My Comfort Zone. Watching The French Athletes Train In The Pyrenees Made Me Realise What I Had To Do To Become A Top Athlete.
