I don't have a clue. These things don't bother me. I think about the technical stuff but not how many steps or what my heart rate is.
I think the sport needs the help to continue to motivate athletes.
When I was young, I didn't really think about anything other than sports.
I had thought that I would stop in 2017, but my coach has told me to stop saying that as I may continue into 2018. I'm not thinking about it at the moment.
When I played football, I liked being a goalkeeper or a midfielder. I was probably better at cricket. I would be a very good cricketer if I was a professional now. I think I would probably have been the best, in fact.
I think my acceleration is very good. That's the key for me.
I am doing what I do [athletics] because the fans love it and it's a part of me, it's my personality. I think people come to see you run fast, but they also come to see a show, a performance. They want to see a personality, and that's what I give them.
I really want to try soccer after I retire because I've watched football over the years and I think I could be a good contender.
If you think about racing too much you may just lose it a little bit.
I don't listen to music before a race - my coach doesn't like it, he thinks I might lose my focus and concentration.
When I'm at the gym, I think about chicks, going to the beach, and looking good. I do it for the girls.
I've learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I'm gonna do after the race, what I'm gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax a little before the race.
I don't think limits.
I know what I can do so it doesn't bother me what other people think or their opinion on the situation.
