I just run as hard as I can for 20 miles, and then race.

Not bad for a 49 year old man [completing the London Marathon in 5h58m]

I knew a lot of other people who had stroke. I wanted to help those people by doing a marathon.

This is the greatest marathon I've ever seen.

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.
