"I want to continue being in the athletics, and that is why I saw it wise to change from track to the marathon and road races."

"I'm new in marathon races and I will be looking forward to a good performance. It's been a tough training for me, but it has come from me in terms of good will and hard work for good results."

"I have been in athletics for a long period and what I can say is that when you are disciplined, you will be there for a long period. It really motivates me training with the world beaters like Eliud Kipchoge and Geoffrey Kamworor."

"I have done my part on the track and now it is only right to try out a new challenge and the marathon discipline is inspiring enough."

"Eliud Kipchoge has inspired me. I have seen him train, the punishing he goes through to be ready for a marathon and it is worth to try it out."

"I believe 5,000m is my race though I took long to realize and specialized in the 1,500m. Since venturing in the 5,000m, my performance has been growing and I believe the best is yet to come."

"This season has been inspiring for me considering I have been able to lower my personal best. I have decided to settle for 5,000m and just hope for the best."

"For me, the improvement in time this season has been key and very inspiring for that matter."
