“We have always performed well in various events internationally and we need to do better in terms of training so that we can remain on top,” said the AK president. He urged athletes to begin early preparation and ensure they participated in local competitions to build up well for the major international events.
He was speaking on the sidelines of the 27th edition of University of Eldoret Cross Country Championships held over the weekend.
Kenya will also send a team to the 21st Confederation of Africa Athletics Senior Championships that will be held in Nigeria.
