Most runners think drills are extra. But the truth? Drills are the secret sauce behind effortless, efficient running. Every rep you do — scissors, skips, hops, bounds, hill sprints, strides — isn’t just movement.

Training with the best runners on this planet for 14 days🇰🇪 I lived in Iten, Kenya for 14 days to train with some of the best runners in the world, and every day taught me something new. Today was a classic Kenyan training day: ☀️AM: 1-hour AM track session (12km fartlek) 🌙PM: 1-hour afternoon recovery run (10km easy) Most runners start the day fasted for the first workout with a black coffee or chai tea. Food in Kenya for runners is all whole food ingredients, home made and high-carb to fuel

Nestled in the heart of Kenya’s Rift Valley, Iten is more than just the home of world-class runners—it’s a place where nature shows off its finest. Rolling green hills stretch as far as the eye can see, mornings are kissed by mist, and every sunrise paints the landscape in gold. Walking through its peaceful trails, you can feel the calm, the fresh highland air, and the magic that inspires champions. Iten isn’t just a town; it’s a glimpse of beauty, resilience, and serenity all in one. | Kasisi W

Today I went on my way to Iten and, on the way, a man who was walking towards the church saw me running alone and decided to accompany me to help 🙏 It’s true that the journey was slow, but the same thing happened, we started at 4:00/km and finished at 3:25/km 😅 Him, in costume and shoes. This is Kenia’s magic 🇰🇪🔥 📽 @julianalonso
