I'm a guy who wins medals rather than runs fast times, so for me, what keeps me going is winning medals for my country and making my nation proud.
From Mo Farah
You imagine running 120 miles a week, week in, week out, for the past four or five years. It takes a little bit out of you.
When you line up on the track, you want to have done your homework, be aware of what they are capable of. You think about everything. It's like taking a journey, innit?
I've got four kids, so I plan ahead. I have to book flights far in advance, look at accommodation, where it is, what you can and can't do. Same in running.
I've got such a sweet tooth. I do miss the U.K. where you get sticky toffee pudding or custard, all that.
I'm as much of a human being as the rest of the world. But if I don't train, I don't win. If I don't focus, I don't win. So I don't have a choice: I just have to run.
What do you want to be? If you don't put the work in, you're not going to be able to be it.
It's important you think positively not negatively. Think about your loved ones and all the people who are behind you.
