    Day 9 of training here in Iten, Kenya with Running Trips. Today we visited the Kipchoge Stadium in Eldoret, Kenya (2100m above sea level). Today on the plan was 10x1k in preparation for my next race; the Boston Marathon. What an experience. If you're new to the channel please leave a like and consider subscribing for more.

    Ben I have watched multiple runners do vlogs and document their experience in Kenya. Yours has been one of the very best man. I honestly mean that. Great work!!

    What made this series more authentic is that there's no unnecessary bs just all about running and running alone.

    Heartbreaking the state of the track and facilities, it’s a really big issue at the moment. The Kenyan runners deserve such better facilities, we risk losing athletes to other countries.
    Great content.

    I have seen accross the comments how people enjoy your vlogs, Ben - no difference on my end! But what I have noticed is that I am really waiting for your episodes here. Been around your channel for a while, jumping in once in a while to see how you were doing, but this documentry is definitely a gem on this channel. Lots of good stuff that you include here, starting from people, places but also training. All the best Ben on recruiting blood cells and squeezing your PB in Boston!

    Remember watching Kip Keino in the 1968 and 1972 Olympics. Didn't realise his name was kipchoge as nearly everyone referred to him as Kip at the time.

    Kip Keino also won Olympic silver in the 5000 (1968) and 1500 (1972). One of the greatest middle distance athletes of all time. The only world record he set was the 3000. Something like 7:39, it stood for a long time.

    Hi Ben - loving the series, what a fantastic experience. Do I have this right, that all of the Kenyans key sessions, be it a track workout, fartkek, hills or long run will always be in a fasted state 1st thing in the morning? Anything in the afternoon / evening will be just recovery jogging?

  • @Ben05866
    @Ben05866 Před rokem

    You should do more of these. Maybe go to toluca mexico which is at 2,600m altitude and that's the place where a lot of these Kenyans go to train there

    Love your content, my favourite running channel. I only started running in lockdown, so my running journey isn't even 3 years old now, but rather addicted now. I have completed 7 half marathons, 7 10ks, a 5k and the London Marathon last year. My PBs are 4:39:06(FM)/1:49:20(HM)/49:25(10k)/23:05(5k). I would love to try the Kenya Experience, it looks epic, but concerned I'd be the slowest and least experienced there. Would there be groups/pacers etc at my level?
