The type of IBS I am prone to is the constipation type, where I get trapped wind and can get sharp painful spasms in my intestines as well as having sluggish bowels.
For a long time, I thought I'd be a physio if I wasn't a sportsman. At one point, I wanted to be an inventor, and I'd come up with little schemes.
Me and my brother just used to fight all the time; then my sister came along, and it was all about the little girl in the house. We'd always eat dinner together as a family.
I'm a very keen baker; I pride myself on my cakes. I go along the classic sponge line, but I like to jazz it up: I've made some psychedelic birthday cakes.
Jumping isn't as important to my training as you might think; I'm only in the sandpit once a week. There's a high risk factor of injury doing it, so instead, I rely on my progress in the gym to judge how far I'll jump on the big day.
Running up a steep hill or up steps are fantastic ways of building explosive strength.
When at home in Buckinghamshire, I tend to work out for two to three hours on the track or in the woods close by and then do weights.
I eat a lot of vegetables and salad. I put strawberries, pomegranate seeds, blackberries, and blueberries into shakes and add Greek yoghurt for a snack. I have this when I'm not training.
I take magnesium to prevent cramps. A few years back, I suffered from hamstring tears, and part of that can be to do with muscle cramping, and then pushing the muscle at that point. I also take a fish oil supplement.
I do a lot of things like running hills and larger amounts of reps in the gym.
The DNA showed I have a level of endurance in me which I never really realised, which makes sense.
I'm a bit of a history goon, and I love all that. Anything that's medieval-based up until, probably, the Tudor period and just after, I'm quite into.
I drive relatively fast - within the remits of the law, obviously - but I struggle with people who do stupid things on the road. I have a massive urge to shout expletives at them.
I want to jump far all the time and go out there and win medals.
I come into these competitions to win, not to get silver or bronze, so it is frustrating.
Athletics set the right sentiment for a clean and believable sport.
I'm excited by going 85 mph, head-first, down an ice track.
People forget that track and field is one of the hardest sports because we compete against all the world. There are many sports when you are up against only 15 or 20 countries.
If you put me against most sprinters in the world, I reckon over a start I could get very close, if not take them.
I am pleased I went from fourth back into a medal position, but bronze is not good enough for me.
