I am around taking a deep breath and getting ready for the spring season to head on RonoRun Mobile Mile Record attempt this year around the globe.

Henry

Tunning up for the spring season RonoRun Mobile Mile Run.

Henry

Mr Rono, can you please explain what this mobile mile challenge is, that you are talking about?

RonoRun Mobile Mile Run

Will start from ABQ,NM next month April and it is going around across the continent by May will be in Europe in four states.

It is not something hard to think about,it is a five minutes business run.Start finish the race put on your running clothes and get your autograph listen and leave that is it!

Henry

Henry, are you doing Carlsbad this year?

This morning I was testing my speed and running through the course at Tramway where we will hold time trial on Saturday in 5k.My speed is there way better than last year's racing speed.

After I ran for 67 minutes I did 15 minutes weight exercises + 21 minutes dry sauna.I feel I am ready for the spring season.

Talking about Carlsbad this year my physical training is ready for it. I have to talk to someone higher up in the scale to make things happen for this good shape body.I want to transfer all these training to the competition.Otherwise,my fitness will go to waste.Carlsbad is my good spot for good testing.I cant wait to get there.

Sports Illustrated article on Henry

Henry, after reading the article I have to ask you:

How close do you think you were to breaking 8 min for the steeplechase?

If you had enough opportunities back then, could you have eventually gone under 8 min?

What is Josh Kimeto up to these days?

All I needed was to run 4:18 or 4:19 min for the first mile and maintain the last in the same mode of speed.

I was ready to do,infact steeplechase was the easest than 5k and 3k,another easy one was 10k.

10k I had it in Eugene 1978 NCAA championship.But I was not allowed to run it.

Henry

Henry,

Will this Mobile Rono Run Mile Challenge be in the New York area?

Thanks.

It will be challenge in Cincinnati,Ohio next month and it is by running store 'Mobile RonoRun Mile'

It can be challenge anywhere in the Country,it is up me and the sports store in that area of New York.Infact as you mention it, I will talk with someone now about this.

Henry

This morning I welded:21mwp + 45mhc + 14mcd =80 minutes

By the time I am finished I came out well cook.It was enough I did have to go to sauna for 200 degrees heat.

I am happy and smiling without forcing it out.

Henry: when you were considering a University in the U.S. to come to, did you consider other schools, like ENMU, where Mike Boit and Phillip Ndoo went or UTEP or any other schools? If so, how close were you to going to those schools. The cold weather in Pullman would have been a negative factor to consider, I would have thought.

I went to Pullman because of John Nge'no.I used to read about him in the newspaper in Kenya from 1972-1975.Also coach John Chaplin was recruiting athletes from Rift Valley only.

I know Mike Boit is from Rift Valley but for me going to Pullman was so 101%perfect. I needed to have different taste in life in order for me to be creative.Moreover,an artist requires Pullman environment for things to happen and things happen.Four world records went down in 81 days.

I had a formula and tunnel vision before I entered WSU.It was great opportunity that it doesnt happen for many people.Only for few individual.I am glad I did and my dream was achieved in running along with education.Please edit to make sense for you or come back.

Henry

This morning:23mwp +45mhc + 17mcd =85 minutes + 15 weight training + 18 minutes dry sauna.

cold weather in Pullman was an ideal training environment for this living bird.It was a positive factor me.

Henry

This morning I did:25mwp+42mhc+ 17mcd=84 minutes + 15 minutes weight exercise + 18minutes dry sauna.

Henry

Those running legs still going up the hill:20mwp+ 45mhc + 17mcd =82 minutes that was it for today.Pleas lET me know what do you have in mind today concerning my training strategies.

HENRY

Henry,

Did you run the Chicago marathon in 1986? I seem to remember seeing you go by at the 25 mile mark, but am not sure what year it was.
