I'm with The Kenyan 400 Guy! MJ does help training.

Is there anything that actually says he is a 400m runner apart from the article itself - which incidentally also said he was high on drugs at the time of claiming to be a 400m runner?

Article also states that he is trying to compete in the weightlifting as well.

Just womdering if there is anything that actually links this guy to athletics beyond his own confession?

Idk. Mods, you can probably delete this.

2/10

MJ is the all-time greatest 400 meter runner, so of course he'd know a thing or two about training.

Hilarious. This dude is nothing but what you guys call a stoner (who probably hangs out in a neighbourhood gym all day shooting the breeze and smoking weed). In his altered state, he's envisaged heroic status for himself representing Kenya at the Olympics in both the 400M AND weightlifting(!) LMFAO.

Nothing to show he'd be competitive in a high school 400M let alone make the Kenyan team. But hey, he's Kenyan so he must be a legit 400M threat as far as LetsRun is concerned. I'll tell you this though, people from other African countries often think Kenyans the weirdest Africans (just watch our local news for a start) and he and that judge are helping our reputation. LOL

I'm still interested in knowing if bhang (Kenyan for marijuana)helps training, though. Common belief in Kenya is that it makes you nuts and lethargic.

This is basically the point I was trying to make above - Letsrun 'journalists' trying to provoke people and stir the doping pot again. They claim to be part of the anti doping battle but in reality the Brojo's are just tabloid gutter press trying to gain readership through sensationalism.

This is what I honestly believe, purely on my personal experiences. Overconsumption will definitely make you lazy and a "burnout," but doing it 2-3 times a week in the past has helped me get through a ton of really challenging situations in grad school and the like. As far as physical activity is concerned, I think the same thing holds true. I find that it generally calms me down and keeps me from overthinking things, which helps me stay calm and keeps those negative voices from creeping in, which has allowed me to push myself beyond my limits. So, generally, I agree with you, but I have never done it before a physical activity.

As per Letsrun, the Kenyan population should be on their best behaviour lest it reflects badly on our athletes. You can't just bring yourselves to see us as individuals. I can't wait for the next tabloid criminal story about a pharmacy being burglarised and, because the crime happens in Kenya, seeing Letrun turn it into a doping story by connecting it to athletics because, you know, Kenya is only about running.
