I still run every other day. Longer at weekends. I probably do 35 miles a week.

Often I feel like I can run forever. If someone told me I had to run for 10 hours, I probably could.

I run a lot. I love running. I try to run at least half an hour a day.

When I was young and ocean-racing competitively, and working the rest of the time, I was going 24 hours. I was on the verge of collapsing. But you've got to slow down a bit.

I ran my first marathon in Florida in 1985. I had never run more than nine miles.

My dad was a big runner. Growing up, I watched him do half marathons, and he was always running six or seven miles.

I trained for less than three-quarters of an hour, maybe five days a week - I didn't have time to do more. But it was all about quality, not quantity - so I didn't waste time jogging, ever.

I haven't done a marathon for a long time. So we'll see. I will need good luck.

I've found that my athletes run their best races after about 10 weeks of intense training.
