I got all A*s in my A-Levels in Maths Further Maths and Physics and now I am going to train in Oxford as an engineer. I was terrible at maths but always wanted to be an engineer, Eluid's talk changed my life, please watch it! All the best Solimo and God's speed!

One stopped and talked to us one afternoon after doing hill repeats and it was very cool being able to talk to him. I wish the Uganda running teams the best!
