When I am training, I don’t want any disturbances. I have to be focused, not losing sight of my targets. I cannot evade the fact that I am now well known and I have made already some money, but you can learn how to deal with it. David Rudisha Read Quote
When I was a little boy, I always wanted to run. I loved competing with my friends. David Rudisha Read Quote
My focus in 2010 was on just running fast races. My focus in 2011 was for winning at the World Championships. This year has been a combination of the two so we’ll see what kind of time it brings. David Rudisha Read Quote
The weather plays a very big role. I have run very few races in the raining and the cold. David Rudisha Read Quote
Brother Colm is one of the best coaches who’s ever been here in Kenya. He’s been, of course, my coach since I started running. He saw me in high school when I was still doing 400, and 200 meters. He decided for me to join his club and we’d been training for one month. That is when he saw me and he thought I could do a good 800. David Rudisha Read Quote
Races always are good to show where you are reaching in your training as well as to keep you sharpened. Every race, in my program, I put it in a special way like a ladder, climbing up slowly and slowly to the next one. I see where my training is, and that is like a test. David Rudisha Read Quote
You do, mostly, in track, different sessions, sprinting and medium sessions in different style. You have to see that even if the pace is slow in championships, you can still sprint well and you can still power the last 200, which is always the main part when the race is slow.

My father’s encouragement is what has brought me this far, because when I grew up I wanted to be like him, and I knew I had that ability to become an athlete. Being an Olympian is one of the greatest things, and being an Olympic gold medallist is one of the most prestigious titles in the world. David Rudisha Read Quote
Fantastic, I am very happy to be the fastest 800 metres runner in the world. David Rudisha Read Quote
I realised I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run. David Rudisha Read Quote
