I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.
Be very strong... be very methodical in your life if you want to be a champion.
I run in practically every single road race in my country, 5k, 10k just to promote the sport.
We are just not made up to be middle distance runners.
You never know the limit of a human being.
The most important part of this is to prepare the athlete for life in general and then be able to compete.
