I'm not sure what I'm trying to contribute to this thread, but I recall reading an IAAF article on Edwin Soi (i think). It said that he can run 200m in 22 seconds. Kenyans can be good sprinters if they wanted to be.
yego probably close his races in sub11.

Wilson Kipketer lived right next door.

So genetically, are Kenyans more suited for distance than speed? Because a 10.26 is good but not like wow amazing for the pro level.
This is alightly off topic, but Kenya did win the 4x400 at the 1972 Olympics (although the US was absent due to other issues) in 2:59. Julius Sang won the individual bronze medal.
The University of New Mexico indoor 4x4 record was anchored by Ibrahim Hussein, the first Kenyan winner of the Boston Marathon.
Duh, he's not Kenyan.

There was a good article 20 or 30 years ago in Runner's World or maybe it was The Runner about African runners and what part of Africa had the genes for speed, what part for distance, etc. It was very politically incorrect but the science seemed pretty good.
Off to the library you go.
