Anytime I go into a major competition, I’m not thinking about how I’m coming in ranked.

The [Coleman was ultimately cleared of doping violations due to filing errors, but professional track athletes are essentially required to submit their location or “whereabouts” at all times to anti-doping authorities so they are always available for random drug testing. My first worlds, my goal was just to make the final, and when I did, we were super proud in that moment.

Or, if it’s a harder race, to be sad about it. [We went] pretty much right back to normal because we had worlds right around the corner.It’s been a range, two weeks have gone by so slow. Wilson also exemplifies the gold standard for how to go pro straight out of high school. Now, working together going into this world champs, we’re going for a medal. How we train is with having to run hard three races in a row. I wasn’t feeling well. ]I would say that it’s something that we’re responsible 24/7, so it’s a big part of our lives to say or remember to say where we are when we’re there.

Today we did 400s, last week we did 200s.

The most we have are debates, with a hypothetical situation online and we say it during our warmup. Ajee' Wilson, the 2019 USA and Diamond League champion, takes on the tough subjects of Caster Semenya and drug testing, plus discusses her training and racing strategies.

13 AUG 2017 Being able to respond and not let whatever happens get to you mentally, Probably 4 x 1 mile… I didn’t finish it.

You hear horror stories about some people who don’t really get along and there’s friction.

It’s hard to be specific. Her career thus far—no matter what happens in Doha—ranks her at the top among middle-distance athletes in U.S. history. It’s competitive, so it’s not like there’s anybody on the line, who, ‘oh, I’m glad you’re here today to race.’ I’m here to race.I’ve always said that I don’t think anyone should be banned completely from competing and that’s just the stance I’ve taken on it. I like [that] because I know some people get their plans for the week and I wouldn’t want to know, ‘okay, on Friday, this is the exact way I’m gonna get tortured.’ I like [getting the workout] right before because you don’t have that much time to lament about it, it’s easier for me to be like, ‘okay, that’s what we have,’ and not really think about how I’m gonna feel.Does that help you stay flexible and make decisions during races?I think it might just help me be a little more level-headed when unexpected things happen in races. I wasn’t really a frontrunner early on in my career, but my domestic experience has made it not too much of a huge difference.

The world at large has followed Caster Semenya’s journey from multiple-time Olympic and world champion to currently facing a ban from the sport (specifically, the 800m and 1500m) for refusing to lower her natural testosterone levels. My coach told me to get out and if I found myself in the lead, cool, but if not then don’t fight for it. I think we ended up doing it sometime later as well and I finished it and it wasn’t good—we started out hot and then by the end, I was like, ‘I just need to finish.’ The first one was too fast, maybe 5:15, and I don’t remember [the rest time] but by the third one, I was like, ‘I need more air!’How has the addition of Raevyn Rogers to your training group affected the dynamic, or you as an athlete and as a person?Aww, Rae Rae, I’ve never been asked that before.

How does Caster Semenya’s absence change the dynamic of the race?Whenever she was in it, you can’t lead. Events Inside Lane: Ajee’ Wilson Heads Into Worlds as the 800m Favorite.


For an athlete who’s been leaving most of her rivals for dead this season, it’s somehow fitting that Ajee' Wilson’s first running memories were of jogging through the local graveyard.. Back then, the graveyard was situated close to her home in Monmouth County, New Jersey and was en route to her local track. She’s won 10 USATF titles, owns three American records, plus two world indoor silver medals. Home of World Athletics [Wilson’s American indoor record was invalidated in 2017 after she tested positive for zeranol, which was later ruled to be in her system due to I don’t eat beef at all. I would say, one of the things I love most about our group is all of our personalities mesh really well together and it ends up being a really encouraging space. I know I have to be in 1:55, 1:56 shape.It’s a funny question. Racing with her over the past few years has pushed me to a level that I don’t think I would have reached by myself. “I knew [Semenya] was coming so it was just a matter of when.



We did maybe a run the next day and then got back into regular training schedule: Twice a week on the track for a quality workout, then runs and light lifting in between those days. They passed the bell in 57.98, a steady but sustainable pace.Semenya, she knew, had a fearsome final kick, so as Wilson approached the final turn she kicked it into gear and tried to steal a march.“I was ready for the final charge,” said Wilson. Standing in the mixed zone shortly after Ajee’ Wilson sprinted to an 800m bronze medal at the IAAF World Championships London 2017, her coach, Derek Thompson, casted his mind back six years to the day he first laid eyes on the talented teenager. “I think [she can run] 1:55-low, 1:54-high, at least.

I’ve had to lead more this season. “An easy person to coach.”At the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Monaco last month, Wilson smashed the US record by running 1:55.61 to finish third behind Niyonsaba and Caster Semenya of South Africa, the Olympic champion.In London she breezed through the heats and semi-final, and heading to the final Thompson sat her down with a specific race plan to target gold.“My coach always says that everyone is beatable,” said Wilson.
