[@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.

[@kymni]

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

‘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

[@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.

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

[@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

[@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

[@RaphaelIgrisianu]

the life of a runner is probably the best thing in the world

[@ortaluis]

It's a dream come true, at least for me 🙏

[@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

[@tav4755]

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

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

[@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. 😃

[@naturelove4448]

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

[@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!

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 🙌🏼
