Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Being a mother to two beautiful children, you have to manage your personal and professional life both. What advice would you give to new mothers who have to do the same?
Ms. Mary Keitany:
To be a mother and a top level athlete is not very simple because sometimes you have to sacrifice something in one of the two commitment.
As I said before to have the help of the husband or other people in the house is making simple. In any case it is important to have in mind that children can make you tired but also is the motivation to make them happy after a big race where they are waiting for me at the finish line or waiting for me at home after a long trip to go home after a race in USA or Europe.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about your preparations for the future Marathons.
Ms. Mary Keitany:
The preparation is the success to achieve something good in a race. Of course you have to be healthy always to make a good preparation but a good training is making you confident before and during the race. I think my preparation is going well and hope to be able to win in the next races.
My preparation is based on a more than 200km a week and a lot of commitment. Maybe be able to before the end of my career to beat again the World Record and also to try to win the Olympic Games in 2020 Tokyo. But let’s go step by step.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What do you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?
Ms. Mary Keitany:
Women especially in Africa are making a big move ahead in their life. We are not only to be considered mothers but able to achieve something good outside the family.
I hope that all the women can support themselves and be part of a new way to afford the life. Women must not be afraid of anything. Many years ago the women could not run a marathon and now I can beat a lot of men if they run with me. We can also compete with the men in any field but always thinking that we are women (different about men..) and we are playing an important role in every society.
Women Fitness Team extends our heartfelt gratitude to Marie Keitany for taking out time from her busy schedule and doing this interview with us.
