My Father Didn't Think Running Was Sensible.

I'm A Runner First Before Anything Else.

If You Are A Really Good Marathoner, You Have To Run New York.

My Father Thought Sport Was Something Fun - He Didn't Know It Was A Way To Make Money. Then I Won A Mercedes At The World Championships And I Gave It To Him. From The Moment It Arrived My Father Said: 'good, You Can Support Not Just Yourself But Me Too'.

That Is Not Enough. Sport Has Been Great For Me, A Great Learning Place That If You Want To Achieve You Can, Even If You Are From The Poorest Part Of Africa.

You Must Do As Your People Do. If My People Are Poor, I Must Be Poor. People Ask Me, 'why Don't You Find A Personal Coach Or A Private Car?' I Can't. Then I Won't Be Part Of My People.
