Eliud Kipchoge's training camp has shut down to Covid-19. He explains what he's doing now in isolation at home

Renato, are your athletes continuing training on their own? If yes how have they modified their training. Do they continue with the original plan or completely shut down specific preparation and just run for basic fitness?

Devils! The Germans, for example, massacred millions in Tanzania and all but wiped out a tribe in Namibia.

In any case, what you wrote is a total bullshit, showing the level of your brain is a little lower than the one of the monkey that was at the beginning of Ebola.

Saying to an African-American that he has a monkey brain...

Maybe you should think twice before using the racism card all the time.

It's ridiculous that you still use the racism argument against people questioning the East African dominance in distance running, after all those stars have been busted the last couple of years (and we all know Kipchoge is next).

All DDR athletes were doping. All Tour de France riders in 2000 were doping.

Today, all Kenyans dope. All Ethiopians dope. All East Africans dope.

That's just the reality, it has nothing to do with race.

You mean the people who claim that East Africans are superior runners? That EPO doesn't work for them?

Who go to East Africa to juice entire tribes, without caring for their health? Who justify them doping these Africans, because in their sick mind they are only able to run fast and have no other means to earn a living?

Yeah, those people are the real racists.

lol nailed it.

Racist idiot replying to another.

So we learnt you are an African-American.... with monkey brain !

It's exactly what I wrote several times.

There are not white and black. There are people with a brain and other without, in both the fields.

Clearly, you are example of people without brain, not depending on your colour.

LOL, ? ? ? You tell him, Coach. Stupidity doesn't discriminate.

do you think retardo is using the word 'monkey' by coincidence?

I use the word Monkey (but I could also use the word Ape) because, following the Darwin theory, the "human race" is evolution of those animals. In Kenya, I didn't see monkeys black por brown only, but also monkeys white and black, or a little brown. Some of them are very aggressive, other are very friendly. And, maybe a coincidence, the monkeys more friendly are all brown and black, maybe are the monkeys with more brain….

I gave everybody a program of maintenance, with one session per day only. The line is : general resistance without high intensity (so, no tests for Aerobic Power), a lot of Hills from short (60-80m sprin at max intensity) to long (300-400m at submaximal intensity with 4'/5' recovery) for training the strength endurance, and, once every two weeks, one "tempo" of 6-8 km at max possible speed (like a competition).

Without knowing when the normal activity and the competitions can start again, we need to maintain a level of shape of 80-85%, so in two months of specific training is possible to reach the best personal shape again.ù

This is what road runners do. Different is the situation for track runners, who probably can start their activity 1 or 2 months before road runners. They are in almost normal training, with the goal to be ready for the end of June.

There are several people who post here, as well as professionals in the sport (including athletes, agents, coaches and, especially, journalists) who are obviously stealth racists despite the very careful public face they present in opinion, words, tweets etc. Renato is NOT one of them.

I don't claim to know him personally and may have mixed feelings about some of his opinions, but as he says, he has a past ... and his reputation, and actions, in Kenya, particularly, speak for themselves.

and are you really a kenyan or retardo's fellow hispanic? I don't follow this forum that closely but saw some people accusing you of acting moronic as if to undermine kenyans

Kipchoge likened VFs to Formula one racing and the INEOS 1:59 to the moon landing. I'm waiting for him to say COVID-19 is equivalent to the Bubonic Plague.

lol that you respond to 'retardo' now. but srs what is this ramble about? dark monkeys are friendly? what? and you supposedly speak english for decades but can only muster that level? hard to believe it. been to miami, most hispanics can speak perfectly well, but some family members literally living together slur it up with english on purpose. some 'cultural' thing. is that the same with you?

and on the word monkey... cmon now. soon as I brought up the racist serie a campaign and constant monkey chants by shitalian fans you flee the thread and go on a rampage in another screaming that others are 'nazis' but still using the word 'monkey' on black people. wouldn't matter if it was 'about their brains' it still has clear connotations and it's you who picks that particular word

Hi Renato,

Is Sondre following that same program structure? Of how many kilometers was his last friday ' s tempo run and at what pace?

Thanks so much.

Thank you for visiting the forums again, Renato. I’m sorry for all these hardheaded posters here who are smart enough to make an argument, but too narrow in their vision for it to make any real sense in the context of this pandemic. They can’t be reasoned with, and even if this gets much worse, they’ll find ways to still justify their original points.

But they are a minority (albeit a loud minority) of the posters on this forum that is filled with reasonable people who love running. Take Care.

and you're not a fan of minorities huh? just call them monkeys then

recap:

rc threw a hissy fit when I criticized his country for being racist yet profiting from black athletes in another thread, then I 'pulled up' on him for that and his unapologetic liberal, insensitive use of the word monkey while calling others nazis, now his buddies act shocked and defend him.

solution:

if you think I may have been unnecessarily harsh on the old man, tweet @roddyricch (cause I used his quote as name in some of my posts), and maybe he'll give rc a quick shoutout. that would make his week, he likely appreciates black artists greatly.
