Hi, my name is Alvin Karangizi. I’m a doctor with a passion for running. My channel is about Uganda's running town Kapchorwa located in the east of our country, on the slopes of Mount Elgon. It is home to world class running athletes including Joshua Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo. I started training here in 2022 and love it. I share what I have learnt training here and also my journey to build a training camp for other runners to come and train here too.

Thank you for watching and subscribing.

I'm from Spain and I runned my first 5k in a competition at a 4:58 min/km pace after a few months of training. That was 10 years ago. Currently my 5k PB is at 3:43 min/km after 10 months of continuous training achieved 7 years ago. After that I stopped training regularly for several years but last winter I started a new journey road to a half marathon in April (runned at 4:08 min/km) and now I continue training to try to get down from 19 min in 5k and approaching my 5k PB. I'm attempting that in two weeks (I'm 23)

I am 51 years old I believe my first ever 5k when I was eighth grade was about a 22:00. My best in high school was about a 17:00 However, many years have passed and I am just getting back. I have been training for about 2 years. My first 5k coming back was about a 31:00. I have worked down to about a 23:00. I believe I can probably run a low 22:00 right now. I have a race in about two weeks.

new to running just started running around May 9 and did a 5k on May 10(43:09 time) yes it's so slow and there are a lot of times i walked through that first 5k but it motivated me to love running more and today a week after it I tried to do a 5k again and happy to see my time is 38:22.. Yes, it's still slow and there are still moments that I walked through it but a lot less this time.. will continue running because it somehow made me feel a bit healthier than the times I don't run haha
