Group long run with Ugandan athletes on the plateau near Kapchorwa

I have had the opportunity to run with world class athletes in Kapchorwa. What I have really enjoyed the most is running in groups and all the benefits from this.
In this episode I did a 25km long run with a group of Ugandan athletes on the plateau down from Mount Elgon. It's 30 minutes drive from Kapchorwa and it's where Uganda's top athletes including Joshua Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo do most of their tempo and long runs.

[@scottpearson9692]

I want to do one of these long runs, too bad I'm probably way too damn slow despite doing my training at 5000+ft

[@alvinkarangizi]

You can get a pacemaker to help whilst training here

Great video Alvin, do you know where i can buy a Uganda Singlet?

[@alvinkarangizi]

Thanks Lukasou. Managed to get one on this site trackandfieldclothes.com and it’s legit. But the price has gone up quite a lot (hopefully will drop again) and they have limited stock. Make sure you know your size as they don’t accept returns. Unfortunately they aren’t yet being sold by Nike like Kenya’s kit. Exclusively given to athletes and difficult to find online.

[@fabiodisotto3818]

Alvin puoi fare un video di cosa mangiano prima di correre e dopo grazie

[@alvinkarangizi]

Yes will try to include this in future episodes
