4 Genetic Findings (to date) Genetic studies of elite distance runners from Kenya and Ethiopia and elite sprinters from Jamaica, USA and Nigeria do not find that these athletes possess a unique genetic makeup but rather we find a high degree of genetic diversity among ethnic groups of athletes
5 Why the dominance of east Africans in distance running? superior genetics solid foundation built over many years of running to school socio-economic and cultural factors high-altitude training the African diet
6 Where are the best distance runners from? Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 2000

15 The Kenyan approach (Michael Boit, William O Connell)
16 The Kenyan approach (Michael Boit, William O Connell) solid foundation (base): built over many years of running to school (e.g. from the age of 5years) high-altitude training camps non-scientific approach: not relying on drugs or technology but on natural instincts aerobic training interval training (i.e. bone-breaking ) altitude training x-country training the Kenyan diet
17 Altitude training Eldoret Region (2800 m asl): Ideal preparation for live or die unorthodox strategy (i.e. shift to higher gear in the middle of a 5 km race and sustain to the end) Altitude training camp (Embu Eastern Province) for Kenyan team one month before event (e.g. Olympics) Most Kenyan athletes live and train at 2800 m asl (e.g. Global Camp) God these Kenyans train too hard man!
18 Total training per week % of weekly training at > 80% VO 2 max J Appl Physiol Oct;75(4):1822-7; Superior fatigue resistance of elite black South African distance runners Coetzer P, Noakes TD, Sanders B, Lambert MI, Bosch AN, Wiggins T, Dennis SC Liberty Life Chair of Exercise and Sports Science, University of Cape Town Medical School, Observatory, South Africa WHITE BLACK

25 Interval training Built on a solid foundation developed over many years of running and also pre season aerobic training Preference for 200m in Kenya, typically 12x Speed: 21-24sec with 3-5min recovery Endurance: 25-28sec with 30sec-2 min recovery 70% of max running at the beginning of the season and 100% by 4-6 months
26 non-scientific approach not relying on drugs or technology but on natural instincts but can be heavily influenced by Grand Prix incentives!
