Brent Vallance [personal]

He began athletics at age six in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. (olympics.com.au, 05 Jun 2021)

"My brother had started Little Athletics a few years prior, so I figured that if I had to go and watch for hours, I may as well join in myself. I found I had an affinity for the longer distance events - the 800m walk was the longest on offer at that age - and soon started training with my first coach Fran Attard."

20KM STEP UP
He says he found the transition from 10km walks at junior level to 20km senior competitions challenging. "Transitioning from the junior to the open ranks means tougher competition and more competitive teams, but for race walkers it also entails a jump from the 10km junior events up to at least the 20km distance. The 20km requires more mileage in training and is more mentally taxing too. After the conclusion of my junior career, it took me about 18 months to put down a solid 20km performance."
