Gregson was selected in both the 800m and 1500m for the Commonwealth Games.“ I definitely prefer the 1500m. I think if I went purely to 800m then I’ d be wasting a lot of strength.
I can’ t run a really good 400m out of the blocks which I think you need to be able to do that to run a really good 800m. I definitely prefer the 1500m, I like the fact that you get to jog around for a few laps and it gets exciting towards the end. I think the crowd also appreciates the prestige of the metric mile, it’ s one of the blue ribbon events.”
“ I don’ t really have any time goals over the next few years. I want to be able to line up for any race and know that I can be competitive. I know that if I can be competitive in any race that I am going to win a few, hopefully that will be a big one. To get an Olympic medal everything has to go right. I want to be as competitive as I can and hopefully the day of the Olympics is a day that I can be competitive.”
