Sometimes runners are in top shape two months before a race and then they don’t perform; or sometimes runners start too late, and on race day they are not at the right level. Everybody does the same programme, but the most important thing is knowing how your body reacts and getting the timing right.

More quotes by Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich

The only way that I manage to be consistent is lots of experience in training and racing.

Mind control is really difficult, but you find that if you concentrate too much at the beginning of the race you lose a lot of energy. You should be doing that at the end.

I am not very aggressive in training, I like to take it easy. I always tell them [the other guys in the group] ‘we don’t compete in training, we compete in the race’.

I checked the course, and Geoffrey talked to me about it, and then I went back to Kenya to prepare.

I think the level of competition is really high now. There are more guys running fast and training in a more professional way. They are working at a higher level than the guys who used to run before.
