When you break at the start in the 1500m, what is going through your mind?

Question

Meb Keflezighi · Answer

What is going on through my mind when the 1500 meter at the start of the race, I'm thinking I'm ready for this race. I got four laps or three and three fourths to be the best that I can. And I train, let me show my God given talent and my hard work. And you're thinking about position at the beginning, position getting out of the starting line and before the turn. Try to be as much as you can. And at the same time, just know that you're there to celebrate your life and then trying to get the best out of yourself and how lucky are you. And I know mile is for me was a sprint the whole way through. So you're thinking of like, okay, just hold your composure, hold your forms and push as hard as you can within limits. And then it depends on who the other competitor are. So you're thinking I should get out really hard because this is my moment to be able to get away from people or if you have equally talented, I'm gonna work on my kick today. So it depends on what you are working on.
