Sep 8, 2011 - no, back i those days, nobody knew kenyans/ethopians would be so fast because they were so poor nobody gave a shit about them.
AssHoleThunder Says:
Sep 9, 2011 - let me gives you guys so truth. high altitude running isn't what separate americans from kenyans. it has to be genetics. there are places in the united states that are as high in altitude as places in kenya. for example, mammoth lake california

Sep 9, 2011 - OK asshole, i doubt you even know anything about famous runners or the olympics so your opinion doesnt matter

Sep 11, 2011 - Everyone in Kenya and Ethiopia want to be runners, cause if they win one marathon they will make enough money to live for 20 years. There isn't enough money in it for white people. If you could make as much money as a football or baseball player running, then maybe you would be accessing the whole talent pool. Why arent there more black american runners? Do black people suck at swimming or do they not swim, there's a difference.

Nov 6, 2011 - Look at how much carbs the Kenyans eat and how LEAN they are lol!Even the school teachers eat a high carb diet and are marathon lean with no training. LOL!'but carbs make you fat though!' BULLSHIT! Its all the animal fat people add to em.Fastest runners in the world eat a high carb, low fat plant based diet. PERIOD.

Dec 4, 2011 - The traditional Kenyan diet isn't grain based or plant based. The majority of the Masai calories come from dairy, blood, and meat. Vegetables and grain supplement the diet, they aren't the staples.

Apr 14, 2012 - Wait a minute...at 3:57 you can clearly see Sprite bottles on the table. So much for soft drinks holding back performance. I always has a sense that these guys consumed more sugar than most people in the West think they do... without it you could not perform at those levels.
HighHenley Says:
Apr 14, 2012 - ... and sprite.. lol 3:57
TheSwagArmyTM Says:
May 3, 2012 - 9 dislikes = people who cant run












delxart Says:
Aug 20, 2011 - They arent better racially.. They are better because of environmental and social factors. Kenyans havent even always been the best distance runners, there was a time when British runners were the best in the world. then the northern Europeans started dominating, the northern africans(moorocans,Algerians) dominated the sport for a period also, then it was the Ethiopians, and now its the kenyans.
