As An Athlete, There Are

Go In Any Direction..seeking Out New Sights Just On The Strength Of Your Feet And The Courage Of Your Lungs.

I Deliberately Returned Slowly To Training After Raphael Was Born And Everything, Apart From Being Bitten By A Dog While Out Training In Monaco At The Beginning Of The Year, Has Gone Pretty Well.

The Cheats Always Have A Way Of Justifying Their Behaviour - Everyone Else Is Getting Away With It, So Why Shouldn't I? But Because They're So Reliant On The Drugs - And The Drugs Are Not Always Perfect, You're Not Guaranteed To Peak At A Big Event - They Don't Have The Confidence To Look In The Mirror And Know That They Can Go Out And Give Their Best. If You're Clean And You've Prepared Well For A Race, That's Where You Have An Edge.

In The Week Before A Race, I Try To Stay Away From Germ Areas. I Keep Disinfectant Wipes In My Bag For When I Have To Use A Supermarket Trolley Or Something Like That.

For An Athlete, The Biggest Pressure Comes From Within. You Know What You Want To Do And What You're Capable Of.
