01:01And secondly, you know, being able to fit, you have more options. They don't even just have to run, they can do swimming, they can do different activities.
01:09And I think growing up, we had more of a to play, we can go outside and nowadays you see the kids, they just, everyone's indoors.

01:35And I don't think anything is possible in life if you work hard at it.
01:39Yes, I've achieved many things on the track and I want to continue my journey through the roads in 2020.
01:45We've got 2019, the World Championship and then 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, so we'll see.
