I'm a fast learner. I may not run as fast as I used to, but I think I still learn as fast.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a God-given talent and I work very hard for what I do. Anybody can run fast. It's how you run fast. I pay attention to technical things now.
Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast.
As I've been able to once again gain the benefits of speed work, I'm enjoying my running more and more.
I can't run forever. I decided to go back to school for my degree, because I know now there's more to life than track.
I already have natural speed, which I don't need to work on, so in training I've been working more on my endurance.
When I was young, I was too slow. I thought I must learn to run fast by practicing to run fast, so I ran 100 meters fast 20 times. Then I came back, slow, slow, slow.
I'm a really fast runner. No one can catch me - I'm quick.
I know what it takes to be fast and I feel like every year I learn valuable lessons about how to be better the next time.
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.
I believe I can get faster because I have trained for it, and I'm doing faster times I've ever done in training.
