The competitive life span of an elite athlete is not long. The average elite life span of a top sprinter is three years. One must choose his or her races thoughtfully, and planning the career becomes even more important. At the top of the their game, the world’s best know that there are hundreds, no thousands of sprinters who would want what they have.

Lauryn Williams, the Olympic silver medalist and World Champ gold medalist, is reassessing her goals and training in 2010, and will be racing less, in order to focus on 2011-2012. Earlier this year, Yelena Isinbayeva spoke of cutting back in 2010, as have some other athletes.

 2011, 2012, 2013, will feature three years of global championships, and if one wants to run well then, one has to plan long term….


BEAVER COUNTY
(USA):
Former 100 m
world champion Lauryn Williams is not planning a tough competition schedule for
2011. Beaver County Times is informing. She wants to
rest this year and compete on limited basis. “Why would you want to play the
other 17 games if there’s no Super Bowl at the end? I think there’s value in
letting your body recuperate,” said Williams. She wants to be back for 2011
Worlds and 2012 Olympics. Williams is 26 and was 5th at last year World
Championships in the 100 m.
