I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running.

I ran track, and basically played every sport.

Since I achieved something, running has exploded in my country. For me sometimes it is difficult even to know who the athletes are who are competing at the highest level. There are thousands.

Fitness has always been one of my strengths. I can do all the long-distance runs. When I was at school and we entered the competitions, I used to do the 100m, 200m, and the 1500m as well, so it's never just been a pace thing.

I run in practically every single road race in my country, 5k, 10k just to promote the sport.

I'm a runner from sports. I've been a runner, but I wasn't a cross-country runner or anything like that. I played a lot of soccer growing up.

I was into sports and dancing. I ran track. I have a lot of stamina.

I could produce spurts of speed and after taking up athletics I found myself running quite quickly over 400m.

Just kidding, I've been very athletic all my life.

I was always active, always running and working out. I was a wrestler and ran track and, out of interest, started boxing. It's always been a part of me.
