Kenya: Don’t Force Athletes to Go to Camp
AllAfrica.com – May 19, 2008
GA_googleFillSlot(”AllAfrica_Story_Inset”);This is the first time that Athletics Kenya are taking the athletes to camp way ahead of the national trials a system that has worked very well for arch-rivals Ethiopia who organise long camping sessions for their runners. But the big difference between Ethiopia and Kenya is that the latter’s athletics association has actually constructed training camps all over the country and has a well-synchronised training programme. That Athletics Kenya has warned that any athlete who does not report to the camps in Eldoret and Nairobi risks being suspended is preposterous. While we appreciate that early preparations are imperative if we are to rake in the medals in Beijing it could have made more sense for the association’s technical officials to consult widely with each of the top athletes’ personal trainers and come up with water-tight programmes for both those who will be in camp and the ones that choose to train at their bases abroad.
