Athletics Is In My Blood.

If I Don't Train Enough, Of Course I'm Nervous.

I Feel A Social Responsibility. We Need To Open People's Eyes. There Is A Lack Of Education In Ethiopia.

I Want To Avoid Injuries By Running Only Road.

I Will Always Listen To My Coaches. But First I Listen To My Body. If What They Tell Me Suits My Body, Great. If My Body Doesn't Feel Good With What They Say, Then Always My Body Comes First.

I'm Lucky. The Best Possible Place In The World For Training Is Addis Ababa, So I Am Home All The Time Except When I Am Racing. I Like To Be There, Near My Family, My Kids, Also The Real Estate Business I Run With My Wife.
