A fascinating interview with the people who manage the new world x-country champion, Joseph Ebuya. LetsRun.com chat with Ricky Simms and Noah Ngeny. While I am sure there is some hyperbole in the text, it offers some great insight into how the Kenyan system works and some background on how an athlete works their way through the system and onto the world stage.
The second read is Anton Krupicka's latest blog post, 100 Summits of Green. He just completed his goal of running 100 summits of Green Mt in Boulder CO in a 100 days (through the winter). He is well known in the ultra world for his mega mileage (up to 200+ mountain miles a week), biblical looks and either winning big ultras, or being injured.
Two runners, from very different worlds, competing in very different events, but equally compelling perspectives on running.
If you are dying to read some of my thoughts on running, I have an article in the latest edition of Canadian Running--"Speed Goats: Trail-race Training Made Easy"
