Hugo Van Den Broek is an ex-professional runner (PB Marathon = 2:12) who lives and works in distance running Mecca, Iten (Kenya).

From there, he coaches Kenyan athletes (and others - me included - online).

He also runs Kenya Running Camps (https://www.kenya-camp.com/).

These camps are for runners of all sorts, from the complete novice to the seasoned marathoner.

They offer you a chance to train in a camp setting for a good chunk of time, but more importantly, they give you a chance to learn how to level up your distance running (training, lifestyle, mindset) by learning from the best.

Hugo kindly shared his time to talk about THE AEROBIC BASE.

You may have heard about it, but what is it? Really?

We discussed:

1/ What is the base?

2/ Why is it important for distance running success?

3/ Which events is it especially relevant for?

4/ How can runners evaluate their base?

5/ How can runners build their base?

I hope you enjoy it!
