Christine Ohuruogu is preparing to put her Olympic glory behind her and return to intense training ahead of the new season.

The 24-year-old became the first British woman to win the Olympic 400metres title when she triumphed in Beijing in the summer.

Now, though, Ohuruogu is set to move on following a well-earned rest and return to her "job", which she insists gives her "pure enjoyment".

And she will have no problem crossing the cakes and biscuits, and occasional glass of "something nice", off her shopping list to get back to basics at the start of a new season.

Ohuruogu's triumph in China was tinged with controversy following her one-year ban for three missed out-of-competition drugs tests.

The debate over whether the Newham and Essex Beagle should have been entitled to strive for gold on behalf of her country is well-documented.

But the champion emanates an aura which seems to suggest she has let it all go and she is rightly proud of her achievement but knows it is now in the past.

Ohuruogu said: "It's time to move on again and now it's basically going to be all about getting the body back into running order and preparing for another long season ahead.

"It's just a few weeks away now and I'll be training hard to get back into competition.

"Clearly there is a programme of competitive events drawn up but at this stage we - me and my coach - don't like too much detail.

"All I'll be thinking about is getting my focus back on training, because that is exactly what I want to do. Once you get the body strong again the competition bit will look after itself - and should be easier.

"You can tell when you've arrived back at that stage and once that moment comes for me everything else stops - because this is my job now.

"But I enjoy it and that pure enjoyment of sport has driven me on from when I was at school."

Ohuruogu is going back to school as part of a Team Superschools initiative for Olympians to visit more than 500 schools each year until the Games come to London.

The target, backed by The Paper Company Ltd as exclusive partners, is to make 2012 visits to different schools between now and 2012, and raise awareness of joy in sport among children.

Ohuruogu is a leading light in a group of top athletes which former sprint star Darren Campbell has assembled to maintain the feelgood factor from last summer's Games, and make sure it lasts all the way to when London plays host.

The team also includes Ashia Hansen, the recently retired former indoor triple jump world champion, Katharine Merry, ex-Olympic 400m bronze medallist, Christian Malcolm, fifth in the 200m in Beijing, and GB gymnast Ryan Bradley.

Ohuruogu said: "Of course you want to win but you've also got to enjoy it, and if I have a message to younger people now it is that you really can enjoy sport. It is not all pain and hard work.

"People ask me if there will be pressure on me now that I've won an Olympic gold medal. They ask me 'how do you follow that'?

"But I'm a very simple person. I don't try to glamorise things and try to make them bigger than they are.

"All I'm interested in is to keep enjoying what I do and to do it for as long as possible.

"Obviously I've heard and read what some people have said about me, but I really don't care because I know the true story of how it (the missed drugs tests) was and to be honest I think it was my own bloody-mindedness that helped me get through that.

"Sure, the things that people have said are always going to be there but I've never let it affect me and it's certainly never going to make me a misery.

"At the end of the day this is the best time of my life, and I just want to move it on and get even more enjoyment out of it."
