I just want to execute a good 200 m. and see what is the best I can do.

You could run harder, longer. If the workout was four 200s really, really fast, they wouldn't seem as hard as before. You could cut the rest down from five minutes to three. That's a big difference.

I could produce spurts of speed and after taking up athletics I found myself running quite quickly over 400m.

In 2008, Pistorius was the only guy who could run under 22 seconds at 200 m. So I said I would run as fast as that in London. I practised; I trained.

To be the best, you need to spend hours and hours and hours running, hitting the speed bag, lifting weights and just focusing on training.

For 100 m., you have to go out fast but also bring it back, so we've been doing a lot of work on the back-end speed.

Hitting .400 is something you can do by yourself. But you have to rely on guys getting on base at the right time to drive in that many runs.

The 200 m. is the event I want to get better at.

I had a gun and I had to run and shoot, which is not easy.
