If we carry on filling up the calendar, we keep on pushing the athlete, we shorten the athletes longevity. The risk is to shorten a career that could have lasted 10 years because the athlete is burnt out.
From Alberto Juantorena
I run in practically every single road race in my country, 5k, 10k just to promote the sport.
I love music, and outside of work my family keeps me very busy, I have five children to keep track of.
I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.
I am always fighting inside the Council to get the message across that at each competition venue, we should send somebody to inspect and to make sure the athletes will be looked after in a correct manner.
Be very strong... be very methodical in your life if you want to be a champion.
