If it happens, wonderful. If not, what can I do?. This is not my first competition. It's not my last competition. I will try for it next time. We'll see.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.

I was the kind of child who worked hard every day with the cows and sheep - I was a very aggressive boy.

I used to run to school, 10k every day. And this at altitude, perfect preparation, really.

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.

Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well.
