The Shape I'm In: Rob Heffernan is staying on track

OLYMPIC race walker Rob Heffernan has his eyes fixed on his next finishing line: the World Championships in Russia next August. It’s a full-time focus.

“I train twice a day, every day,” says Rob. “I start at 8.30 or 9am and am not switched off until 8pm. ” Aged 37, he has no intention of hanging up his runners anytime soon.

“Once I stop being competitive on the world stage ... it’ll be time to do something else. But I could still be very competitive in Rio 2016 if I get good support. I am as fit and strong as I have every been in my life.”
