He took up the sport at age 13. (worldathletics.org, 25 Mar 2021)
:
He gave up kayaking before switching to athletics. "The reason why I made that decision was I was so skinny and short compared to the other guys who were so tall and big. I thought, 'I just can't compete with these bigger athletes'." (worldathletics.org, 25 Mar 2021)

General Interest

General
FROM KAYAK TO TRACK
He believes that his experience competing in kayaking at a young age provided him with a good foundation for athletics. "Looking back, I think kayaking set me up well in many ways for my future career in running. The discipline, determination and competitiveness in kayaking were all important elements I took away from my time in the sport [kayaking]. Meanwhile, training almost every day from the age of five gave me a great overall conditioning. I feel this gives me a little edge on other athletes who perhaps only started training at the age of 15. Even when training for kayak we ran most days. We'd often warm up with a run or on a weekend go for a longer run and I think this definitely helped my overall fitness." (worldathletics.org, 25 Mar 2021)
