THE BEST RUNNERS IN THE WORLD TRAIN HERE | Iten, Kenya: Home of Champions | LUIS ORTA

[@kymni]

I'm Kenyan and you make me want to go to Kenya

[@MegaMie77]

😅😂

[@ortaluis]

Amazing, it's an honour :)

[@marathonranati]

It must be amazing to train with the worlds best runners! I feel like its a "must do thing" as a runner if you want to reach your peak! Those nice cold morning long runs on the wide long road... it takes my breath away! My question is: how hard is it actually to breath there, and, are you sponsored? Thank you very much to share your experience with us!❤

[@ortaluis]

Hey - yes I am sponsored: Stryd, theFeed and SOS. And in terms of breathing, I would say it's definitely challenging, you feel the altitude 100% but it's great training.

[@giuseppeflorimo9798]

yesss,I love this content in kenya .Now i’m 14 years old,i hope one day i will train there

[@ortaluis]

Come with us when you're ready! 🙏

[@chosenone004]

All the best and I hope you won't give up in your dream

[@alexandrubaginean7369]

Can anybody from around the world can join you in training?

[@yami283cu]

[@startrunstop]

It is just amazing how running is such a lifestyle over in Kenya and those from around the world go to the same country to experience it all. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@ortaluis]

So true - thanks for watching!

[@nevergiveup-eg1io]

these men and women are living proof that you do not need high tech equipment or super advanced facilities to produce great athletes. got to give them the props they deserve and their coaches.

[@mattbrackley9885]

Watched this today before my morning run. My first completed 10km + run. Your excitement, passion and pure joy are an inspiration. Every time I bog down I just envision the form of you and the other runners in these videos. I completed the run and felt amazing afterwards. Positive vibes and hard work are a magical combo. Thank you.

[@jamesromano3288]

[@kellenscott555]

‘If you lose contact with them, you lose’….. 😂 I was dying at how casually Luis says he is basically fighting for his life during the last 45 mins of that workout.

[@ortaluis]

It's literally true, one slow minute and you're out haha

[@Be-Rean]

[@ortaluis]

Thank you🙏

[@mikes7654]

I’m reading a book…… Out Of Thin Air….. and it’s about the Ethiopian runners. The author mentioned the same thing, of how you can easily lose contact with them if you can’t keep up.

[@ortaluis]

It's so true, super challenging but worth it

[@Starship245]

Amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@SurajKumar-pp6ls]

Your workout with Kenyan athletes are so awesome

[@ortaluis]

[@lancelotisupnext3623]

Whoa, that's a nice instrumental @ 7:40 when you introduce Moiben rd. What song is that?

[@hadezzz8110]

Wish I got that body type already fit rn but being an endomorph runner and asian made my legs and calves big which makes me heavier but doing it for fun so still it's all good

[@StefanKovatchev]

[@ortaluis]

🙏🙏🙏

[@luisortegast]

11:30 damn! i imagine kipchoge in his sixties, getting out of his house and glimpse many of bunch of international runners, all of them pushing hard and see kipchoge at his house door , motivating even more to continue, and kipchoge, knowing that, making the commissure of his lips circumvallated, smiling, becoming the happiest in the world....

[@ortaluis]

He's a legend!

[@miguelcruzdies8231]

K bien mi Luis buenos entrenamientos saludos a todos al millón

[@JustInBerlin]

These videos just make me feel slow :( Great stuff though Luis. Always love seeing the variety in your vidz

[@ortaluis]

Remember we all have our own challenges! You can always be faster than you were yesterday. Thank you

[@JustInBerlin]

@@ortaluis For sure. Trying to break the 3 hour marathon soon in Hamburg. Also when are you getting Paul back for a vid? I love watching him run.

[@Stan0619]

I never knew a running utopia like this exist. Why am I just seeing anything like this, wow. Have you ever trained with the Ethiopians? Thanks

[@ortaluis]

Definitely thinking about it

[@99allturbo]

Always appreciate your videos. Really awesome content. Any chance you can include mins/mile when talking about mins/km for us in the U.S.? 😊

[@ortaluis]

Good recommendation, I'll remember that! I try to convert it but sometimes I forget haha 🙏

[@AntonioGonzalez-zs2tp]

Felicidades Luis, que experiencia tan maravillosa la que has tenido en Kenya. está muy bonito tu documental. Hablas muy bien el Inglés ¿has vivido en los Estados Unidos? Gracias. Saludos desde México. Antonio González.

[@ortaluis]

Hola! Si vivo aca desde la universidad. Gracias por ver el video!

[@RunRaceRadio]

Thank you Luis! If you are not part of one of the groups how would you best recommend transportation to places like Kipchoge Keino or Tambach track? Thank you

[@tav4755]

This was great. Pero soy muy pobre y muy viejo for the camps.

[@ortaluis]

No hay edad limite! Y siempre estamos dispuestos a ayudar!

[@Oni1One]

First! 🏃‍♂️🙌

[@ortaluis]

[@nathanwilliams5434]

[@ortaluis]

Thanks man! Happy to hear you're getting into it.

[@xavierkiprop1133]

[@79code]

Awesome video!! Thanks, can slow rec runners come?

[@ortaluis]

Yes you can! We take runners of all paces and ability levels in our camps

[@markmunguia495]

I’ve been really getting into your videos lately! May I ask what kind of shoes you wear doing most of those trainings? I’m barely covering 30-40 miles a month but you make me want to pump those numbers up! lol Just need some shoe recommendations. 😃

[@ortaluis]

Hi Mark! Nike Vaprofly next %

[@cristinaperera4765]

Hola, Luis. Esos atletas hacen sentadillas completas y pueden sentirse como los asiáticos? Gracias.

[@ortaluis]

No sé 😆

[@leorunsoregon2082]

What’s the pace for the recovery in the farklets?

[@thebihari07]

Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@ortaluis]

Thank you!

[@tngo3]

would you go to kenya to train before a major race in the future?

[@ortaluis]

Yes absolutely, that's the plan

[@lorenaortega3883]

Holaaa!¡¡.. luiss un abrazooo fuerte amigoo!¡..

[@ortaluis]

[@y3_38]

Did you go on that hill at min 8.20? I saw it many times

[@zsubhani1177]

Diet plan for 1600 Mt pls 🙏

[@ganeshjoshi1619]

Awesome

[@ortaluis]

🥰

[@enrymarmontero4549]

Mira amigo yo también soy de Venezuela y soy maratonista será que puedes hablar en español por favor exelente video

[@ortaluis]

Hermano gracias, la mayoria de la audiencia habla ingles, entonces lo hacemos en ingles pero siempre hay subtitulos!

[@enrymarmontero4549]

Está bien mira alguna vez a corrido en coro estado falcón

[@bhorajsalvi3275]

Legend

[@ortaluis]

🙏

[@kosygowon2932]

Correction.. The Kipchoge Keino stadium in Eldoret is named after the retired athlete Kipchoge Keino and not Eliud Kipchoge. They do not share the stadium name. A little bit of correction right there.

[@ortaluis]

Correct!

[@wanderunner8971]

Are they taking gels during workouts?

[@naturelove4448]

My biggest question is about injury. It's what stops me from training hard. Do these runners suffer from much injury?

[@hmpb1722]

Mostly it's about genetics. Western genetics are more likely to injuries because of the comfort we made ourself the last centuries.

[@kingshukkrinjalborah7639]

Hello sir iam from india iam practicing for a 1.6 kilometre race which i have to complete in 5 minutes . can you please suggest me a good shoe which i can use

[@wangzhe5daidinnerout]

[@dennguyen1980]

Hi just subscribe to your channel. Been planning to take my son to train in Kenya for a couple of weeks. Can you point me of a group or team or connection. Since you been there done that, it would be helpful to get the insight. Thanks for the video, looking forward to here back from you.

[@ortaluis]

Send me an email on [e-mail], would be happy to help 🙏

[@jefferyjeffers1703]

Anyone else really want to do this but would get dropped by the first Km???

[@ortaluis]

haha

[@Runner913]

Sir can I poketi ❤❤❤😘😘

[@sabrimandradji6533]

The world survived because people learned to run.

[@ortaluis]

I like that!

[@lions763]

I am from Assam

[@ortaluis]

🙌🙌🙌

[@chazmuska]

How are they able to run for so long? I feel faster but I would lose all of my sexy muscle if I ran that long lol.

[@Jus10-born2Run]

It’s a choice to train hard enough and long enough to build up to their pace. I’ve lost 20lbs since starting to run (seriously) and train consistently. But that’s ok bc I’m a lot faster and healthier. Strong heart 🙌🏼

[@ortaluis]

haha not at all!

[@sendeeaj877]

❤

[@ortaluis]

[@dhanmanikalita4956]

[@duhusker4383]

Jakob Ingebrigtsen doesn't 😛

[@kidkinnu1993]

Jakob isn't a marathon runner!

[@fileremoval478]

i just got an investment idea.. that place has a lot of investment potential towards sports

[@General1Cal]

I rather 3 to 6 miles than 15x 600m

[@ortaluis]

Yeah its hard!
