Fifty-six year old veteran Marathon runner Llewellyn Gardner has stepped up preparations
for the planned Independence Day half Marathon on May 26.
Gardner told Kaieteur Sport yesterday that he is confident of achieving his third consecutive win in the Masters Category for the year and disclosed that he trains at the Camptown Football ground in the mornings before running in the national Park and doing strengthening work at the Gym there in the afternoons.
The Rising Star Track and Field runner feels his main challenge on Independence Day in the Masters division is Maurice Fagundes and wants to also make an impression in the overall category.
After winning the Masters division in the Cross country 10K in January, Gardner again crossed the line first in the Masters category and seventh overall in the Mexican/ Guyana 20k Road Race on March 11 in a time of 1hr, 23 minutes and 11 seconds. Mexican Jose Luis Macias was the guest runner in that race.
“President of the Athletic Association of Guyana Keith Boyce along with (Director of Sports) Neil Kumar and (Sports Minister) Dr Frank Anthony informed us that the last race in March was a trial for the 13-mile Independence Day race and I am looking forward to continue doing well for the year,” Gardner said.
