I love the 1,500 meters. I knew that, if I had to do it to win, I'd run under 4:05. That means I could pick up 100 points, maybe even 150 points, on anybody in the world.

Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.

I would have to commit a crime and have cops chase me. That would be the only way to get me to jog five miles.

I run in practically every single road race in my country, 5k, 10k just to promote the sport.

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

People are so easily impressed by running, but I run pretty frequently.

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.

I've run a lot of miles over the years, some fast and some not so fast. I've won some big races and I've had some big disappointments, but I enjoy the freedom of running and the challenge of training and competition as much now as when I first started back in high school.

My personal philosophy is I'm running a 100-yard dash, and I haven't reached the end.
