On Running, Reinvention & Rhythm with Douglas Wakiihuri
In 1987, Wakiihuri made history as the first Kenyan to win gold in the marathon at the World Athletics Championships. He won silver at the 1988 Olympics, and Gold at the Commonwealth Games, and conquered the London and New York City Marathons.
Beyond his achievements, Wakiihuri continues to embody wellness and creativity. From inspiring future athletes to mentoring coaching recreational runners and curating races to exploring music and fashion, Wakiihuri is a trailblazing legend.
In this episode, Wakiihuri and I delve into making music, creating an activewear fashion line, Kenya’s athletic heritage, moulding the next Kenyan elite marathoners, who is likely to take the mantle from Eliud Kipchoge and his thoughts on the 45th edition of the London Marathon having been a winner in the 80s.
