London calling: Deena Kastor

"I feel really well prepared despite my lengthy travelling to get here and my body is feeling good. London suits me because I love to race hard from the start and I prefer races which aren't as tactical and you just go out as hard as you can.
I've been running for a long time, since I was 11 years old, but even though I'm 37 now I still love what I do.
There are always new things to accomplish and I keep finding new challenges and new hurdles which I want to attack. It remains exciting for me and I still feel I can perform at the top and I'm looking forward not just to doing well in this weekend's race but also New York later in the year."
