At the end of the day, people want to see how fast you run.

I am a bit different from the other sprinters because, I would say, I can run many different ways while the other guys they just came on and they can only run one way.

I think we have the approach that every race is a sprint. Some races are just longer sprints than others.

Before me, sprinters retired at 23 or 24. I run because I still like it, I can make a living, and I feel I was born to do it. And because people tell me I can't do it.

Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.

You get into such a routine of trying so hard each day and racing between 180 and 220 km., and as soon as you stop, it's weird, but you start to seize up. So it's easier if you keep the body ticking over. You just feel better for it come race day.

These days, I am the most boring, methodical runner. I always do the same three- to five-mile loop near my home every evening. I hardly ever miss a day. On the weekends, I might go longer or add in weights.

For me, I've not really focused on a world record. I'm just trying to put a complete race together, and when I do that, then fast times will come.
