The one thing I normally look forward to after a big race is a break from the normal routine.

Sometimes runners are in top shape two months before a race and then they don’t perform; or sometimes runners start too late, and on race day they are not at the right level.

For me, I prefer gold. When I went to the Olympics last year I wanted to go for the gold, and maybe go for the World record this year.
