ATHLETICS: Inspiring reason why Faith Kipyegon has retained motivation to succeed
The 28 year-old mother of one has won all titles on the track in her preferred races.
She had only competed in one 800m race before heading to the World Championships and that might also be a reason she did not live up to expectations.
“I jumped to a whole new training group last year…I’m learning a whole lot. I’m doing different things that I haven’t done in my whole entire career.
"I’m super young and I feel like I have done a lot of things since starting at 19, now it’s two years later and I’m definitely evolving as an athlete. Every year I get to learn something new and you are going to go through something different.
"I’m grateful that I have Barbie and my teammates to help me through such changes in the next couple of years in track and field,” Mu said.
