I have to change a lot of things before I become a good marathon runner. – Haile Gebrselassie
What can you do if a part of it is uphill? You cant work out another route. Youve just got to run the one they give you. But they tell me London is a nice course. Even the cobbles, I hope, are not very much of a problem for me. – Haile Gebrselassie
