Tori Bowie had an amazing 2017, from the nice opener at 10.80 (wind aided), to the win at USATF, and finally, the gold at 100 meters in one of the most exciting races of the entire World Championships.
Tori has other likes from running, which keeps her healthy. So, we will show a few of her likes, including running, and also, how she has been recognized by her sponsors and the media world.
The pursuit of perfection over the 100 meters and 200 meters means a pretty solitary existence for much of the year. The hard work is done in the nine months of training a year, then, the high season of racing, then, the world championships. Keeping your head together during a season when you are racing against the best in the world means: you keep it simple, you listen to your coach and team, you stay focused when everyone around you is freaking out.
How does one keep their game during the height of competition? It is those hill repeats with Coach Bauman, when you really do not want to do 4x200m, 4x100m and 1 x 300m, all uphill. It is those workouts when your body screams at you. And it is those workouts when you know, one more repeat of anything and you are going to retire.
Take a look at the final lean of Tori Bowie in the 100 meters in London. It was insane. Best of luck training over this winter, Tori.
We look forward to seeing you race in 2018!
