“I don’t like running slowly because there is no time to pamper my competitors because running with the pace of others might just make you a sacrificial lamb. So, when you start the race, just keep going and don’t look back,” Anyango said.
At the moment, the 23-year-old is sharpening her talons as she seeks to represent the country at the upcoming World Cross-country Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.
“My secret is to train hard and I would advise my fellow athletes to love training as much as they love ugali,” Anyango added.
