Kweitu is a student at Agona Swedru School of Business and he is currently writing his final West African Senior Certificate Examination (WASCE). Athleticshour.com has one on one interview and he disclosed this to us. Kweitu made a lot of revelations concerning his future and his athletic career. The full video will be uploaded to our official YouTube channel later.

“I’m training very well and strong now. But am writing my final West African Senior Certificate Examination so as it’s very difficult now. I don’t get the maximum time I want to use to train. At first, I used to train twice daily but now I train but not often. When I finish writing my paper, I eat, rest small and dress up for training. I usually run from Nyakrom to Swedru which I cover around 19km” said Kweitu.

Agona Swedru township has a hilly route, training there makes the athletes have a little bit of advantage. Asante Akyem Agogo Marathon route is similar to that of Agona Swedru. Athletes should be ready to run through a little hilly route coming Saturday 25 September.
