+Jessica Bickley He was a happy guy and really into it. I liked the guy in the hat and blue singlet a few people to this guy's right. He was a real cool dude but not so much into giving his all!
They are training the fascial network in their body to be more elastic which benefits their running. All ancestral cultures have a form of dance/movement patterns design to keep the body supple
Furthermore when you get into a rhythm, a few hours can breeze by in a trance like state, I've experienced this myself. You're working out without realising
and the rest of the world still thinks that the Kenyans and Etheopians have a genetic advantage for running. It's called hard work, determination and discipline folks!
great comment, no other runners from any other country in the world work hard and this video of people unrelated to any known Kenyan champions proves it!
It's like saying Saudi Arabia has plenty of oil because they work hard in digging the ground. In economics, it's called "competitive advantage" - a condition or circumstance that puts a company/country in a favorable or superior position. The right circumstance has to be there - training hard is just one component.
Am Kenyan, I run almost everyday, totally disciplined but all my efforts have never made me an athlete. It's in the gene, and only in certain community/tribe of Kenya, not whole country.
