Everyone has to try to give back as much as possible because I think in all sports it helps kids to have role models or people to look up to. Someone like Jess Ennis, I know a lot of young girls have started to get into athletics stuff because of her, because of her success.

Staying more controlled mentally stemmed from taking my fitness more seriously. When you're doing track work, sprints and so on, it's pretty painful, but that does make you feel better prepared and therefore mentally stronger when you're going into a match.

My fitness trainer's English, my physio's English, some of my friends are English. I don't have a problem with English people at all.

For much of the year, you're just trying to maintain your fitness. It's not often you get a lot of time to really concentrate on improving it.

Like most guys, I've always liked watches. I can always check the time on my phone, but having a watch is so much better.
