The weather plays a very big role. I have run very few races in the raining and the cold.

When I was a little boy, I always wanted to run. I loved competing with my friends.

Already in 2007 I thought I would be able to break the World record in the near future. That time Sammy Tangui was the pacemaker in Lausanne. I liked the way he was running. He is tall, he has a strong body and his stride is similar to mine. I told him in one of the coming years I would need him when I try to break the World record.

My focus in 2010 was on just running fast races. My focus in 2011 was for winning at the World Championships. This year has been a combination of the two so we'll see what kind of time it brings.

I realized I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run.
