KENYA EXPERIENCE - DAY 7 - Running Track with Eliud Kipchoge and NN Running Team in Kenya

[@TheFODRunner]

Mind blown, this is absolutely unreal, you literally rubbed shoulders with the GOAT!! absolutely brilliant filming as well from you and Eric, captured that session brilliantly!

[@jawant6039]

Why do Kipchoke look 90 years old?

[@rimquelsiret]

​@@jawant6039he's actually old

[@solfuela1393]

Extremely low body fat %

[@Invisiblejung]

I can see there everyone shows their respect to Kipchoge and he is also friendly to take photo with people. Good luck sir. Enjoy the videos you made.

[@TheWelshRunner]

Kipchoge is such a gentleman. Very humble and generous with his time. A great ambassador of the sport.

[@blacksignaturevisuals694]

Wooooh , I like how this video turned from "Running the track " to meeting "Kipchoge"..... THE G.O.A.T

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks. It was a surreal experience but amazing too.

[@hufemeve]

being able to share the track & training with the very top World Elite Athletes in such casual way, yet those guys don't display any ego, quite ok to share the training with whoever is able to keep up with them.... AWESOME video

[@100maxPower]

other running KZbinrs: look what I ate today Matt: track session with Kipchoge

[@TheWelshRunner]

🤣 but can I back it up 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Gary_sub3marathoner]

OMG, a day to remember. I cannot imagine just how inspirational it must have been to see Eliud in the flesh and then meet him!

[@francismckenna7338]

How amazing is that. Running on the same track as Kipchoge. And him being humble enough to take pics with everyone. Fab video Matt.

[@Anna_onthebeach]

wow what a fantastic experience and what a gentleman Kipchoge is. Such a great ambassador for the sport.

[@TheWelshRunner]

He really is. Such a fantastic athlete but so humble and inspiring too.

[@georgekirkman8325]

Such a humble guy and true legend of the sport !

[@dokutaaguriin]

This video must be the cherry on top for your Kenyan running Experience!!!!

[@tamasszanka5866]

Good for you mate! How simple things are in Kenya, it's astonishing. The stadium is really like a forge of champions.

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks. Simple but effective 👍👊

[@tamasszanka5866]

@@TheWelshRunner Hope I did not miss it from the video, but did you cover the performance benefits and your hemoglobin stats before and after training at high altitude? Would be gr8 to hear about that aspect.

[@paulgitau6055]

The home of the champions, lovely.

[@trainwellracewell]

A thing of beauty to watch the Kenyan running form

[@TheWelshRunner]

It truly is. Some of the athletes seem to float around the track.

[@samuellarcombe4209]

Loved this series, and loving the channel. Glad I found it 👍 thanks Matt

[@TheWelshRunner]

Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the Kenya series. It is a special place.

[@runfrankfurt]

😂 Damn, I am jealous now. Running a lap with Kipchoge is epic. 🥰 My adrenaline would have been through the roof, totally pumped. 😂 Nice work man!

[@Iron_DD]

Wow! That is a seriously special moment and one to tell the grandchildren about. So pleased for you and also very envious!

[@nilSpecial]

I'm so inspired by this video series! Thanks so much, Matt, for sharing all of this with us!!! I'm heading off to a track session now!

[@acepro247]

Incredible. I’m smiling cheesily through the video and I wasn’t the one there. Great that you shared a lap with Eliud. What a day.

[@clairel3730]

Wow ! What a privilege to run with all those wonderful athletes. Fantastic series of videos Matt - thank you for such a brilliant insight😃

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks Claire. It’s great to hear you are enjoying the series. Thanks for watching and I hope you’re well.

[@cakej1]

Awesome experience Matt. I love 20-25x400 after 5x6:00 in morning. Ingebrigtsen style.

[@TheWelshRunner]

I did this session harder than an Ingebrigtsen style 25x400m but I also love the double threshold type sessions that the Ingebrigtsens use.

[@VIV292]

OMGosh you run and met GOD!!!! Great series been binging on them excellent series well done I’m sure there’s more to come!!!!

[@DevRunner]

Amazing Matt! What a peak experience this must have been! Thank you so much for sharing this series! Keep pushing! Keep inspiring!

[@mwmstals]

goosebumps , even when it's not me in the picture with Kipchoge

[@hendrikdourie5924]

Eliud, the main man!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikehobbs624]

Unbelievable experience for you Matt! Absolutely loved that. Running intervals with Kipchoge...awesome!

[@malcolmcornelius7215]

Must be another bucket list moment ticked off...#Train with Kipchoge 🏃😀💪👍 What an incredible experience for any runner, & they certainly seem to look after you.

[@FenboyTim]

Great series so far - I’m sure this vlog & series will get a massive viewing and quite rightly so!

[@FraggotJr]

so happy to see you with the goat. keep on running!

[@SK-fw4qq]

Latching onto the back of the training group with Kipchoge for your 400m was very cool!

[@TheWelshRunner]

Yeah that was my fastest rep and a little too quick but once I was on the back I didn’t want to drop. You you don’t get the opportunity very often to say you matched Kipchoge on the track even if it was only 400m.

[@peterkirktenor]

Imagine 2 or 3 years ago thinking you'd be running around the track in Eldoret with Kipchoge.....pretty unimaginable really - something you will never forget!

[@sneakingjack9172]

I've caught up and I'm absolutely buzzin! Thanks Matt 😁 throughly enjoying so far. Can't wait for the Q and A!

[@runningwithaj]

Oh wow! “I got passed by Kipchoge.” What a legend. That’s such an awesome experience. You’ve had such a valuable experience over there and shared it with us beautifully. Well done. Thank you. Can’t wait for the Q and A.

[@juanseaforth5111]

Another fantastic video. Omg you was on the same track with the king 👑 how amazing is that. Well done on the workout Matt 👊🏾

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks Juan. It was such a good day. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@angvella8865]

That’s a nice one. Thanks for sharing this experience. Great to see Kipchoge in training mode.

[@runningwithdr.andrewdpt9177]

That was awesome that you did a whole Lap with Kipchoge. Thank you for sharing!!

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks. I never expected to run a lap with Kipchoge but it was an amazing experience and very surreal.

[@runningwithdr.andrewdpt9177]

@@TheWelshRunner I bet it was and you’ll always have a cool story and video of running with the goat.

[@rickyemery7917]

Matt really loving the videos from Kenya, must admit I binged on them after returning from 10 days in the forests of Canada. Would really like to know more about the mental side of their training and what they do when it gets tough ? You look in your element out there and look like you are really enjoying the experience, thanks for sharing 👏

[@twinremix]

Amazing content Matt! Loving the series

[@christinaclementson2685]

How fantastic!! You got to truly see just how fast they run. Always looks so effortless. I’d be interested know how it feels to run at altitude and how much of an impact it’s had on you now you’re back in the UK. I know you’ve had covid so maybe you weren’t able to see the positive results immediately.

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks. Altitude is such a strange feeling but I loved it. Everything felt harder. It’s hard to put a number on it because the routes were so hilly too. I chose 400m reps for the track because I knew I would fare better than longer reps. I think training at altitude can have a huge impact but you have to stay for longer than a week. I think I will have had a small benefit but it’s hard to know especially as you say I then got Covid. I loved altitude for the fact I could run slower for a good aerobic benefit.

[@dwb5043]

Amazing video. Running next to the GOAT unreal

[@kiely4561]

Probably had a lot of nervous energy starting those reps Matt knowing the GOAT was in town , you did great

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks. Yeah I was pretty excitable when I started. I loved it.

[@rizmaslen]

Another fabulous Vlog Matt! What an incredible experience!

[@tomcharlesworth9687]

Wow what an awesome video mate ! Running with the best too , class 👍🏼

[@tonyfennell7827]

If your experience does demonstrate that hard work pays off in the end, nothing will. You looked like a boy in a sweet shop. Great job/ I'm not jealous. Much........

what an experience training with the goat. Great vids matt 👍

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍

[@ronyrunner]

Amazing inspiration to run in the same track and at the same time of the GOAT… will make you run faster for sure, even though no other human can run faster than Eliud at the Marathon, great experience and thanks for sharing mate!

[@chr1s2211]

Brilliant videos Matt. Running with the Goat is pretty cool 😎

[@patrickfarrell913]

That was really cool Matt - btw no idea how I hit the thumbs down button! But I undid it and gave a big thumbs up! 👍👍

I know you’ll be framing those images with the GOAT. Lifelong memories hanging in your office!

Nice workout it's more realistic and thanx for linking up with the marathon legend Kipchoge

Wow! What an amazing experience! Well done on the quick track reps. I'm amazed at how many runners are out there putting in the work. I know I've NEVER seen my local track that busy. haha!

[@TheWelshRunner]

Thanks Chad. It was incredible experience being at the track surrounded by some of the best runners in the World. There’s very few sports where you can train at the same venue as the World’s best at the same time as them.

[@mannny2269]

How many km does kipchoge run every day...

Awesome video, and amazing experience! I was wondering, is this Kenya experience something you can book, like a running camp/holiday/on site seminair? Thnx in advance :D

[@RunningTrips]

Hi Tim, I hope you don't mind us jumping in on this one. We organise the Kenya Experience camp which Matt was part of. Yes, it is exactly as you say, it's a training camp/holiday for runners of all levels and we arrange all the running, seminars & other non-running training (gym, drills etc) plus other activities like meeting with local athletes etc. The link to our website is in Matt's description of this video. Please feel to reach out to us if you would like any further information.

[@TheWelshRunner]

Hey Tim. Running Trips has pretty much summed it up in their reply. It’s a training camp for normal runners. I loved it. I got to experience the amazing running culture of Kenya whilst also forming a close group with the other runners on the trip. If you want more information then feel free to ask any questions or on www.runningtrips.co.uk/
