I remember in particular my first victory when I achieved a very fast time in what were perfect conditions but since then the wind has always been a factor against me.
Haile Gebrselassie
I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa, so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there, near my family, my kids, also the real estate business I run with my wife.

I haven't done a marathon for a long time. So we'll see. I will need good luck.

In the marathon a crazy athlete can just keep pushing from the beginning, at a championship you don't need a time just to win the race.

My father didn't think running was sensible. He told me running is just wasting time.

When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time.
