About the current shape:

<p"></p">

„I train

since January and I am in good shape. Training is very good. I won’t promise

anything, but I will do my best. I train with Paul Tergat and he told me it is

possible form to run faster in Berlin due to the fast course. I am happy

to be back in Berlin after my world record at 25 k in 2004. I am

not under big pressure because it is not my first time here in Berlin. And I am not worried about the

other guys. I think it will be a strong race and I am looking forward to it“.

<p"></p"></p">

„I feel very

good and hope to show it on Sunday. I know that it will be hard to defend my

title, because Deena Kastor is in very good shape. But I don’t put myself under

pressure, and I will run my own race. I will see what will happen at the end.”

About what

she did after the real,- BERLIN-MARATHON 2005, where she was second: 

<p">

<p">„First of

all I had a three week break. I really enjoyed it and I almost didn’t move at all.

The first race after the break was absolutely great and I felt that this is what

I love to do – running. I have so much pleasure doing it. Then I was in a

training camp in Spain, and it was good. I had a couple of

small competitions. At the German Championships last weekend the conditions

weren’t that good. Now I will see what I can accomplish here. I watch the

others but will not start too fast.” </p"></p">
