Listen "Training in Iten, with Philip Neilson"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's episode Philip Neilson from our Lothian Road shop checks in with the boys to talk about his recent training camp in Iten, Kenya. Boasting a sub-33 10K time and a low-15s 5K time pre-Iten, Philip's five-week trip was a key element in his quest to see how fast he could get the year after completing university. Seemingly on a whim, listen to this one to hear how the trip came about, how the approach to running in Kenya differs to in the UK, and ultimately, what can be gained from such an experience.This is a great insight into what it's like for a recreational athlete at the sharp end of the field heading out to train with the world's best - where the altitude, culture, and experience are all seemingly geared towards one thing - building rapid long-distance runners.
