Moraa usually commences her season with short distances like the 200 and 400m events, but will be starting with the 1500 meters at Michael Johnson's inagural Grand Slam Track leg in Jamaica.
Reigning 800m world champion Mary Moraa has explained how Faith Kipyegon’s resilience motivated her into taking up training for the 1500 meters as she prepares for the inaugural Grand Slam Track.
Moraa, who signed up for the Michael Johnson-initiated league last year, is preparing to take on a field that includes reigning 1500 meters Olympic silver medallist Jessica Hull in both that four=lap event as well as her specialist 800 meters.
The 24-year-old secured bronze at the Paris Olympic games, an outcome that underwhelmed her considering many had tipped her to bag gold despite the threat eventual Olympic champion Keely Hodkinson possessed.

Following her season, she decided to start training for the 1500 meters, which will serve as a build up for her season, where she will be hoping to defend her world title come September in Tokyo, Japan.

'I play for him'- Ronney Onyango out to make his late father proud after being unveiled by Norwegian club
Ronney Onyango has officially joined Sogndal Fotball with the aim of honouring his late father.
The administration police officer -dubbed Kisii Express - due to her ruthless execution of middle-distance races, explained why she opted to train for the 1500 meters, inspired by Faith Kipyegon’s resilience, rather than her usual routine of starting with the 200 and 400 meters early on in the season.
Speaking to CITIUS MAG, Moraa explained that the decision stemmed from a deep admiration for Kipyegon, Kenya’s two-time Olympic champion and world record holder in the 1500m.
“When I started doing speed work, I questioned myself — like, 'What am I doing?' It was tough,” Moraa said.
“But then I thought, if Faith is feeling like this when she’s training and competing, and other athletes with African records are going through this too, then I have to as well. I need to work hard so I can run like them.”

Former Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry unleashes scathing criticism of local Kenyan players
Johnathan McKinstry has unleashed a scathing criticism of local Kenyan players in regards to securing moves abroad compared to their West African counterparts.
While the 800 meters remains her bread and butter, Moraa views the 1500 meters as a test of endurance — a weapon she believes will ultimately sharpen her race strategy and finishing strength for her main event.
“I started my training about four months ago because I had to go back and really commit,” said Moraa. “I trained hard because combining the 800m and 1500m isn’t easy — it demands serious work.”
“The 1500 meters, for me, is like an endurance test. That’s why I decided to compete in both the 1500 and 800 meters — not the 200 or 400. The more 1500m races I do, the more endurance I build for the 800m.”
Her workouts this season, tailored for the longer event, have pushed her past her comfort zone.

Top 7 African Countries With the Most Olympic Medals
African countries have often stolen the spotlight on the world's grandest stage, accruing multiple Olympic medals, but which ones are the most decorated?
“I think the overall training is similar, but when it comes to the 1500 meters, the workouts I’ve been doing this season have been really tough,” Moraa admitted.
“But I told myself, there’s nothing I can do about that — I have to push through and work hard so I can compete at that level.”
Set to face a strong field that includes Olympic 1500m silver medallist Jessica Hull, Moraa will compete in both events at the Grand Slam’s Kingston leg. It's a bold approach, but one that underscores her hunger to evolve — not just as an 800m specialist, but as a more complete, versatile athlete.
And with her world title defense set for September in Tokyo, Moraa is betting on endurance, grit and a little inspiration from Faith to carry her through.
