Dude suc.s
I think he's got what it takes to challenge Hall, Vail, Arciniga, Rupp if he stays in Kenya and Dopes!
The only issue I have with his plight is that he says "many people, not even my family and friends know about this decision" to leave everything and move to Kenya. That is not a good person.
"Hello, My name is Arturs Bareikis and I am chasing my dream of representing Latvia in 2016 in Olympics in the marathon. I give everything that I have towards this dream, even putting my teaching career on hold"
Live in a hut at 7,000 feet and chase the big boys.
Very much Agreed. Defiantly needs help. And if he doesn't even tell his family, WTH is wrong with this dude. Mentally a Freak Show. Good Thing for him, he's in Kenya where he can live dirt cheap and a dollar goes a long way..
You guys are idiots who are not willing to task a risk and Chase your dreams so you all just talk trash. First off his family is his mother and his sister who has her own family. So he isn't living kids or anything behind. Living in Kenya isn't easy specially with no income so he is taking a risk to chase his dream. All you just talk without any idea of who he is. Typical.
Btw his Kenya video:

I'm definitely pulling for this guy. What's his current pb's/background?
I can understand people have mixed feelings about
Arturs Bareikis
But ... I have deep respect for the courage and "entrepreneurship" to completely follow his dream !
How many people have the guts?
His times are pedestrian, he would have NO chance to medal in the woman's Olympic marathon yet people gave him 5600

I think you're right, but it steel seems to me as an interesting adventure.
The dude barely broke 2:26. He can find some local women to train with and doesn't need to go to Kenya. His head is up in the clouds instead of accepting where he is and slowly chipping away his times. There's no elevators on the marathon mountain.
Stop trashing Art. He's honestly a talented, down to earth dude trying to become a better runner. Also, he's representing Latvia not America, standards are different, he's just trying to be the best he can. Grow up people.

Did the Robertson twins do public solicitations?
Hopefully funding picks up... Only $220
