"When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time."
"Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there."
"First, do enough training. Then believe in yourself and say: I can do it. Tomorrow is my day. And then say: the person in front of me, he is just a human being as well; he has two legs, I have two legs, that is all. That is mentally how you prepare."
"I always tell young athletes the same thing, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, what must your top priority be? Running.'"
"Always, if you win mentally, you can win physically as well."
