Wiseman Were explains an elaborate scheme that will help him medal at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
Kenyan sprinter Wiseman Were has switched attention to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after gleaning valuable lessons from the blue ribrand of the Games in Paris.
The 27-year-old has detailed an elaborate training regime that will help him achieve his target in the United States. He told Flashscore news that with the plan, an unwavering mindset , and a world-class support, he is poised to make a statement at the Los Angeles Games.
“I’m excited for what is ahead. I want to make Kenya proud and show the world what I’m capable of. I will give it my all,” Were said..
Were has revealed big plans as he prepares to make 2025 the year he gives Karsten Warholm, Rai Benjamin and Co a run for their money.
Wiseman Were’s training regime encompasses strength and conditioning, speed work and technical refinement, mental coaching, proper diet and mint recovery. This, he said, will not only make him refined for the Games but also enhance his medaling chances as he tries to tear the global stage.
“I work with top fitness experts to improve my muscle strength and flexibility. I also spend long hours analysing my technique and working on my speed. Even the smallest tweaks can shave off crucial milliseconds in a race,” Wiseman, who won the 400m hurdles at the Kip Keino Classic in 2024 in a meeting record time of 48.57 seconds, said

The tactician has weighed in on whether shifting training base to America would be a good thing for Kenyan sprinters such as Ferdinand Omanyala and Wiseman Were.
“The mental game is just as important as as the physical one. I’ve started working with a Sports psychologist to build mental resilience and remain focused under pressure. I follow a strict diet tailored to optimize my performance, and I use physiotherapy sessions to ensure my body is in peak condition.”
While he did not medal in Paris, Wiseman is the opinion that it was a learning curve, admitting that he walked away a completely challenged athlete.
“It was an incredible experience to represent Kenya on the global stage. I learnt so much from the competition, especially about handling pressure and fine-tuning my techniques. The competition was fierce but I walked away with invaluable lessons that will shape my approach to LA2028.”
Wiseman Were reached the semifinals of the Paris Olympic Games 400m hurdles.
