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

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

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.
