    This was incredible to watch! What a beautiful place, and an incredible experience that must have been.
    I've always been uncertain as to the value of sponsored teams. I now realize that, in order to compete on the world stage, they're critical. Most talented runners i know of have to have a job to support themselves, and sometimes have a family to tend to. If the incredible Kenyans are able to focus 100% on their training, and more importantly on their recovery/ down time between demanding workouts, it would be practically impossible to compete with that level of 100% dedication to training without being a fully sponsored athlete. Food for thought...

    • @user-sg8kq7ii3y
      @user-sg8kq7ii3y Před 12 dny

      Lol...99% of the people on this planet would not be able to become an elite long distance runner EVEN if they were fully sponsored and did not have any other responsibilities in life. GENETICS is the most important thing, and if you don't have the genetics to become elite, you will NEVER reach that level no matter how much you train.

    Wish I could give this a thumbs up twice. After reading Running the the Kenyans and Out of Thin air. The running culture in Kenya and Ethiopia is totally mental. What seems like entire countries of Olympic standard runners. If anyone has to read 2 x Running books, these are the ones I would recommend.

    What an awesome opportunity for you two--and an awesome video you've made out of it!🙌I'd love to find out more about the training diet you and the athletes were eating at the 42 House. Did you learn about how closely they track and match their carb, protein and energy intake et al to their training? Or is their strategy simpler than that?🤔Just curious!

    Its crazy how the logic of running for the Kenyans works ... Ideally .. when u train for something .. u try to simulate what u training for, in training like a batsman from cricket, footballers training as close to match like intensity
    Theese kenyans train at altitude and come down heere at sea level where the oxygen is more plentiful and " what they training for " is literally easier than race
    The kenyans will be dominating long distance running for a long time

    What an experience, and what a lot of work these guys are putting in! A follow-up with Andy, about how this training compared to his back in the day, would be very interesting. I get the feeling that these guys are putting in more hours and miles than the pros used to, but is that perception correct?

    Thanks for sharing. Good edit. Well presented and a decent amount of humility shown. Not intending on that being patronising. By the sounds of it it had a really positive impact on you both. Why not both of you do the half marathon. Would be good to see how you both approach it and may make for an even better feature.

    I went to Uganda and couldn't run for more than 6K in the whole time I was there (6 months), Its tough in the heat and higher elevation (but not as high as yours - its like 2000m). I usually run 20K weeks in and out but not in the heat! :) Would have loved a longer video or multiple videos of Kenya - very expensive 15 minutes I think - or you wanted a holiday to Kenya! 😂

    The big difference between running in the UK and Kenya is that for them, running is their only chance to make a decent living. There is very little recreational running in these areas, the only people running are those trying to make it internationally. Here, running is fun, there it's everything.
