Raw Footage - Crazy Kenyan Workout

That coach 😂

That coach 😂

Try 4:15 pace. Incidentally, the guy in the right front seat is Evan Scully, the guy that was selling all the OTC gear for cystic fibrosis.

Thanks!

Love the coach yelling about the cows on the road.

Is that Renato? This should be an adidas commercial. I'm ready to go out and buy some flats!

At the very beginning of the video it clearly posts 4:30 pace.

yet, during the workout, the fast miles are covered in approximately 4:15. I was told by elvis that there was even a 4:08 slipped in.

Why are they all heel striking and landing far in front of their ceter of gravity, don't they know how to run properly?

They're not doing that.

Take another look. What I am also pointing out, in case you missed it, is that the typical letsrun poster such as yourself, has no clue about biomechanics.

Well I heard there was an uphill 358 mile dropped in where they had to jump over a 15ft wide creep and dodge rebel gunfire in the middle. In trainers.

And wetsuits.

Video is retarded and clear example of why Europeans cannot compete with the Kenyans.

1) That is NOT Kipsang.

2) Why is crazy coach following so closely behind in a car? What if one of the runners falls? He's going to get run over WTF. You think a heavy van can brake quickly on a dirt road? Basic physics.

3) Why is the coach screaming instructions at his runner during what looks to be an unstructured practice!!

Do you seem Brother Colm out screaming at his runners? WTF!

I noticed they carried their arms very high toward the end. I seem to see notice this in many Kenyans.

Great link and great thread!

How would you turn this into a 5k workout? Maybe like (5-8x) 3:00 rp, 1:30 tp for an average hs athlete?

Also, any idea how they are defining "float" here? Tempo, or easier?

5:15 is much easier than tempo pace for these guys. Not even marathon pace. Probably more like 50k-3 hour race pace. So like 6 min pace for decent college athletes 7 min pace - jogging for Hs kids. Most Hs kids are not developed enough for proper floats, jogging is good enough for them.

Ha....truth!

That will be the discussion for the next 3 pages of this thread.

I definitely thought I'd find more comments about all of them wearing tights.
