Sharing more insights from my training in Kapchorwa, Uganda. We all know that sleep is important for training. Athletes here rest and sleep a lot. Athletes in elite camps are privileged to have less commitments and use that opportunity to rest even more. I speak with athletes to discuss their sleep patterns and their thoughts on sleep.

This is exactly the video I wanted for years I always knew some of the greatest east african runners slept 2 hour naps but wow some even 3 hours. I need a lottery win :( I run to work 13km and there's no recovery time for 6 hours, I run home 13km and sleep 10pm-6:30am but after watching your video I'm going to sleep at 8-9pm to get 9-10 hours sleep since I can't nap during the day. When I wasn't working I would run 16km in the morning, nap 2 hours in the afternoon and run 16-20km in the afternoon/evening. I could wake up after a nap and feel ready to go again. I know a pro runner who runs 190 miles a week and he says for every hour you run you need an extra hour sleep. Look how healthy these runners look compared to people in the UK doing the rat race, they're all burned out on coffee and obese.

Yeah the sleep does make a big difference. The life for a sponsored athlete here is so simple. Run, eat, sleep and socialise. Hope the extra sleep at night helps

Hi Alvin, I've just come across your channel and I think it's great. My sleep schedule is at least 9hrs per night. And at least 2hrs after a training session be it easy or track session always 2hrs. Sleep for me is the magic ingredient. I started running last April 2023. Yesterday I completed Liverpool half marathon in 1:38:35 49 years young with having a heart attack at the age of 45. Keep on creating excellent content. 🥇🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Do these athletes also do fasted running? Do they eat right after the training, or only eat after the 3h rest? Thanks for the upload, all these athletes seem so likeable, wish them all the best.

@alvinkarangizi 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, yes they are very welcoming, great group of people Good questions. They mostly run fasted on their morning runs, eat big carbohydrate meals at night. This is typically posho, similar to Kenyan ugali. They also usually do their workouts fasted, and even start their long runs fasted. The elite athletes have access to calorie drinks like Maurten to take whilst running. Most athletes don’t have access to these drinks, gels and are disadvantaged - they only take water, sometimes nothing, on their long runs. Pre-run, they only tend to eat before major competitions and do so very early in the morning. They eat right after training. I’ll do a more detailed video on food in future Hope that helps
