Runner at Wales’s average distance says that the end of Kelly Holmes in “Manchester” is the best moment in Manchester in the 2002 cooperation games
Cooperation games for small nations are a real tread. I always watched the 1998 games as it was for me. The first outdoor championship and something that will make me good for future events.
But it did not happen. I was offended and pulled out, so you enter the next one thinker. “I failed to get there there.” It kind of depends on you a little and the collaborations are coming only once every four years.
But in 2002 I didn’t know what’s going on. I wouldn’t be able to get into the right shape. I just felt like a little mm all year, and it was really disappointing. I had no information about why it happens. I couldn’t exercise properly. I just couldn’t compete. I hoped to get gathered throughout the season, and then you don’t fight when it’s not.

My coach Mark Rowland could not understand that either. What was it just for us? Was it a change of weights (I lifted in the gym)? Or what are we trying to focus on the track? We just returned to the basics next year, and I ended a bronze medal in world championships, but after 2002 I would not be able to continue through such things.
I don’t know if it puts pressure on it, because it was aggravated, and I had missed the game before. I was not in state. I didn’t even put it in the European championships even a week.
I was thinking in collaborations. I really felt that I was trying to achieve the odds against something.
One week ago I went to Monaco, I came to 13 and ran to 4:07. I am a person who will always be the glass half-filled but I went back after that race. What can we do at the end of the day? I thought. “You have collaborative games next week. Just go on to it. “
I had nothing to lose. I have reached heating and you always know that you can’t run the final if you’re not in it. In the final, I reached the end, but it was still surprised to me how I came to silver.
You knew that if Kelly did even 80 percent, she was going to be on medals and probably should have been champion. That silver was such a great achievement, as it was so low. Sometimes, all these little things are about to go right on time to go right on the right day. And I had it.
Maybe it was the athlete’s race, that competitive advantage? If you are driving people, you can feel that you may have achieved something. You just keep running to the line. I came to some others past and built it on the house.
It meant a lot that we got out of the bad season. There was a silver cover there. Or a little carrot hanged. I started thinking. “If we go for a good season, let’s see what we can get out of it.” It changed my mindset.
Especially, we may have changed too many things, especially the work of the gym. I was better just clinging to the main things I used to do, and I was doing well, unlike trying new things. At the end of the day, 5000 m sorts are not going to work for you if you have a goal of 800 m-1500 m specific training. It didn’t work out. We just got back to basics.
In early December, I completed the fifth at the European Cross Championship in 2002. We understood what my strengths are. It showed how I really felt strong in that winter, and it continued to go out on the other side of the way, where I could eventually behave well in the World Championships.
How did the wood say?
