The Kenyan Fartlek: How the World’s Best Runners Train!

I'm in Iten, Kenya at the iconic Home of Champions training at 2400m/8000ft of altitude with Running Trips for a two week Kenya Experience Camp.

In this video I head to the legendary Kenyan fartlek, a workout the locals do every single week whether you're a 1500m athlete all the way up to world class marathoners. Over 150 athletes gathered and listened to coach set the workout for the day.

Today's workout:
3km easy jog warm up
6km of 2 minutes hard, 1 minute easy
3km easy jog cool down

The full workout was 10 x 2 minutes hard, 1 minute easy and then 10 x 1 minute hard, 1 minute easy.

If you have any questions about Kenya or this camp, please leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
