Everything went according to plans, i'm in a perfect condition and ready for the marathon on Sunday. The plan is to win.

The presence of The King and Paul was going to make London Marathon even more exciting.

I'm going to compete, i always go all out for a win in any competition. I also want to thank all the South Africans for their messages of support.

This is the greatest marathon I've ever seen.

This is not the D.C. Marathon,

Number one is a tough position to be in. It's tough for coaches to remember, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. When you're competitive ... it's not an easy way to look at things.
