Geoffrey Kamworor's road to recovery

[@jonathansandberg5983]

It’s never fun being injured but if ever there was a year to sit out, 2020 was it. It’s nice that he got to take a break and spend quality time with his family. I’m sure he will recover his fitness quickly and have lots of success in the years to come.

[@benjaminkailes7263]

Man won his Olympic Trial in the 10K 😄

[@phylosophdotcom]

What a terrible accident :( Wish you come back stronger!

[@mondo851]

I have really enjoyed watching Geoffrey's great races in recent years: the world cross country championships (twice a winner, and a bronze medal in 2019), and the world half-marathon championships (twice a winner), plus the great New York City marathon victory a couple years back. Godspeed. At his best, he is the best.

[@nickc4257]

This guy is a true champion. Love watching him race

[@mortenfogh7228]

I wish him nothing but the best. He's an amazing runner to watch and cheer for.

[@carlogaytan7010]

Having an injury like that and not running does something to the way you think. When you get back you feel so grateful, and that can aid in running faster.

[@JohnSmith-rx2uv]

I wish you a full and excellent recovery Mr Kamworor!

[@simonatletiek4779]

This guy makes me really calm and happy

Watched you in Cardiff to win World Half Marathon. One of the new era of fabulous Kenyan runners. Wish you a speedy recovery

[@dennismaorwe]

Welcome back Geoffrey. May you never suffer injury again.

[@dominicdoiron8045]

I love this man

[@plameng117]

Speedy recovery Geoffrey! I know how frustrating an injury can be for an amateur runner. I can only imagine what it feels like as an elite runner :(

[@nro337]

Such a determination. Truly inspiring

The legend

[@Phylosics]

Coming back from a tibia stress fracture myself, it's oddly reassuring that world-class elites go through the exactly the same process: 2 months of no weight bearing exercises, followed by walking and intermittent jogging. Saw the video of Kamworor at Kenya's Olympic trials, he looks good.

[@philellul4476]

Don’t worry brother your come back stronger then ever muscle memory 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bestwriters5149]

This leads to the question, what if Kenyan athletes embraced professional cycling?

[@drym3943]

They don't have the right genetics. They have extremely short calves and shirt muscle overall. That's why they are good at running. You need little muscles and a lot of tendons. Tendons don't use energy and return it well. But for a cyclist it is the opposite. You need short tendons because they are useless when they is not hard shock.

[@matttherunner1396]

@@drym3943 Well, is it about genetics at all? Isn't it the fact that african runners just train very hard from a relatively young age (like they run 3 times a day and stuff) + lead a simple life (which makes them recover very quickly from the hard sessions)? Here in Europe athletes have this approach that there's no point running too much, as it makes you more likely to get injured, while the Kenyans and the Ethiopians are much more willing to take that risk and push themselves more than Europeans or Americans would. Kind of like African's approach is 'all or nothing', whereas other athletes have like a more 'reasonable' approach.

[@drym3943]

@@matttherunner1396 your right. But training is nothing without genetics. It is key. They have a great genetics for running coupled with hard work.

[@drym3943]

@@matttherunner1396 PS: in cycling there is no injury possible other than falling.

[@GUnit12315]

I thought about that to. It wouldn't work for them.

How to join

[@jackwakefield05]

I feel this. Twisted my ankle 3 weeks ago 1k into a long run, which also caused shin splints in the other leg. It's so annoying when you get injured and it's not at all your fault (obviously I don't have it as bad as him)

[@anthonymwangi9445]

Welkam back Sir: kam back smash em records

[@luciobarbeiro6489]

Please, send news about Geoffrey

[@syedrizvi8797]

Keep cycling and we might see the first athlete to run sub 59 in the half and partake in the some major cycling events .

[@mariocam7226]

Ummm people have already broken 59 in the half

[@syedrizvi8797]

he's the previous wr half marathon holder well under 59 but I don't think there's been a runner who's ran sub 59 and done for example a tour de espana or any major cycle race in a single career. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm not aware of any.

I'm sure many Zwift users would like to ride and compete with him if possible.

saddle is a bit low. bike is slightly oversized or his stem is needs to be shorter.
