lol....I did the same thing in the LA Intl marathon, in '84. I was going for the 2:19:04 OT qualifier and somehow got caught up with the front pack in sub 5 pace. At 12 miles or there abouts, when it was time to enter the 90 (marina frwy) for that long, lonely trek toward the coliseum; I decided to take the off ramp to dnf....lol

You were not acustom to it,that is why? Not the word idiot you have enough excuse for this.You are meeting and competeting with these wild Kenyans what do you expect.
I could say I was very wild when I step on to American soil and ran very wild now I'm running very sober.
Henry
well said, Henry; your words of wisdom make me laugh; but they are true. You never ran as wild as Josh Kimeto did, however. Ngeno left before you got to WSU? But you ran with Kimowamba, too? He had the 10k world record before you, right? Then Cheryiot came along toward the end of your WSU days? .
Did you know a John Keibero, from Eastern New Mexico? He was a good Kenyan in the NAIA, the same time you were in the NCAA. Or a John Muthama? another NAIA guy I raced.

When Mike Boit left there,I dont know who else came along.I believe the place became hi-dry because the big names were out of the place.
Now these little names you are telling me did have a big show to be remembered.
Henry
Kenyans John Keibro of ENMU and John Muthama of Bethel, Ks., they were little guys to you, but they always beat me in the NAIA nationals! I also ran against Phillip Ndoo. He was an 8:30s-8:40's steepler chaser in the early to mid 1970s. You might have passed him up as you got better in those years leading up to '78? He was a nice guy and became a respected journalist in Nairobi, from what I was told.

You have a problem here,I understand that;however,you need to separate between apples and oranges.Big guys are apples and small guys are oranges,so they are rarely meet and not only that they work in higher places and the others work in lower places.where it is hard to address the little ones.Do you understand me?
Henry
Yeah I know Philip Ndoo,he used to cone me once in a while,whenever,he wants something to write from me.Then he writes all wierd stories to fill his wallet.
Then I got upset at him.I never want to see his face any more.
He is one of those journalist running around like a chicken with head cut off.
Henry
no, I understand that you were much better than those guys; in a whole different class. I just thought you might know them since you were all from Kenya; all at US colleges at the same time and might have been in the same training camps in Kenya at some point. But, I guess not. That's ok.

I don't think you will. I'm pretty sure he's dead.

To 8:42 guy....
Yes, I know him,Philip Ndoo became sports edited in Kenya Daily Nation after he graduated from ENWU.I was with him in Montreal, Canada Olympics 1976.
Someone told me the other day, he past on, he is in heaven with us.
Henry
Someone told me last summer about that as he was about to write the history book of Kenyan runners.

I have a few questions about your hill training. How long and steep of a hill do you recommend? How hard should you run it? Really hard, or moderate? Do you walk back down the hill, or do you run? Do you do anything in between each hill (stretch, strides, weights), or do you just start back up?
Thanks, and keep up the hard work! You are the "King of the Jungle"!!!
What hill? Any hill.

"Don't worry that your area might not have Iten-style hills. Kenyan Henry Rono, who in 1978 set four world records in less than three months, was once asked on what type of hills he did repeats. How steep, how long, how constant a grade, the inquirer wanted to know. "The hill," Rono replied. "Any hill."
Hello Henry,
I had dinner once with John Chaplin (sp?) the former WSU coach. This dinner was in 1994, so I may not remember the story correctly, but I think he told us that you guys did a 10 lap time trial one time in 10:10, and that was one of the most amazing things he had seen. Is this true, or do I have the story wrong?
Thanks.

You got it wrong! means each lap is 61 seconds Oh! Yeah!
Is he trying to make you believe on him that he knows what is saying?
He was telling you the story so that he get his meal ticket paid by you.That is the way it works it the real world got it!

The 317 day of training phase II.17mwp +71mhc + 32mcd=120 minutes.That hamstring pinch(bite) me in the early pace of warm up,so I ran straight to the hill to get to use different muscles in which it took me 17 minutes.
After that my hips and big tendon muscles was warming up very good. I was able to maintain my training and the all muscles were in high lubrations and better movement.
Team Rono Training is in upswing. A good number people are coming to this program

Scott Douglass has never met the person (Steve "The Dina" Dinatale, bartender at Guido's, now groundskeeper at Hayward Field) who told that story. Douglass took the story directly off of this website as written by me, rearranged the words, stripped down and edited out the source, and published the anecdote as if it was common lore or the result of his own research. That's plagiarism.
Edwin Moses lived with you for awhile. What can you tell us about his training methods?
