Even if you aren't planning to pack your bags for Iten, this episode is a masterclass in the Kenyan mindset and the science of high-performance running that you can apply to your own training right at home. Join us as host and coach Hugo pulls back the curtain on why this small village produces more champions than anywhere else on Earth, diving into the "We Culture" of community training and the specific mental tools elite athletes use to conquer the world stage. From the technical benefits of altitude to the simple, powerful lifestyle shifts that can make anyone a stronger runner, this conversation is packed with "Kenyen flat" wisdom and inspiration to fuel your next personal best. Whether you’re a 15-minute miler or chasing a Boston qualifier, tune in to learn how to bring a piece of the "Home of Champions" to your local trails.
