Work, Rest and Play - Duane Solomon

Published by IAAF on December 9, 2013

Two-time US indoor 800m champion Duane Solomon boasts a strong record competing on the boards. We speak to the World and Olympic finalist about what makes him tick in the latest of our work, rest and play series.


DUANE AT WORK

What are your three favourite things about being an athlete?

Duane Solomon: No.1 would be the opportunity the sport gives you to travel the world. Secondly, I would say all the friends I've made competing in the sport and thirdly, I like being able to motivate people and to be a positive role model for kids.

Do you have a favourite song to train to?

DS: I don’t have a favourite song but I like listening to up-tempo beats with positive lyrics. I really like Drake.

What is your favourite training session?

DS: I really like the 600m or 700m time trials I might do two or three days before a meet. It gives me a good gauge as to where I’m at.

What about your least favourite training session?

DS: Probably the distance runs of about 10 miles or so, or the one-mile repeats we do on the road. It just makes me tired thinking about it.

What is your favourite training venue?

DS: I love training on any track because I know exactly where I’m going to start and end. As a competition track I really like Monaco and London.
