I Start Planning Then That's Dangerous Because Then I Have A Target That I'm Blinkered Towards And I Won't Listen To The Warning Signs Quite So Much. I'd Rather Be In Shape And Then Look Around And Say There's A Race Next Week And Jump Into That Than Have It Planned.

To Represent Your Country At A Home Olympics Is Something Special And I'm Over The Moon To Be Selected For Team Gb. I Was Pleased To Get The Qualifying Time In Berlin Earlier This Year And My Sole Focus Is Getting In The Right Shape For London.

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.
