POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Last week, I was paced by a young boy, probably around 10–14 years old, who joined us on our run back home. What surprised me was that he could hold our pace for 2–3 km while carrying a backpack on his way to school.
It got me thinking about how much untapped talent exists out there and how many talented kids might never get the opportunity to discover their potential. And honestly, that’s heartbreaking.It also reminded me of how some of Kenya’s greatest athletes, like Eliud Kipchoge and Faith Kipyegon,started out by simply running to school.
I’m going to be done with my exams soon and I hope to find this boy again and see what might be possible if someone noticed his potential by @being_galil

POV: you think that you’re going to dinner with just one friend, then you walk in and realise the whole squad was in on it 😭😂❤️

Just a heads up, if you hear the wind fighting for its life in the vlog… no, I’m not adding sound effects. it was super windy on Friday but here’s how a part of week 9 looked like 😄

On my first run here, I genuinely thought the elevation was going to be my biggest problem… then came the second run and somehow the route started feeling much easier because what do you mean 20K at 4:17/km with 306m of elevation, and still finishing the last 5K sub-20:00?! We were cookingggg!!!!!!!

The only problem? I was chasing Supeet the whole time and still didn’t catch him 😭Next time I’m showing up much earlier because clearly these early-morning commutes are becoming part of the training plan.

At this point I was genuinely considering just moving in with my coach because why am I commuting at ungodly hours just to get to the workout location on time? 😂😂

SEE YOU IN WEEK 10!!!!

Episode 3 of The Nairobi Project is live! 🎬

Filming with @being_galil was such a joy. We covered so much that there was no way I could fit it all into one episode, so Part 2 will be out on Wednesday!

As a student-athlete, @being_galil balances a lot, yet his passion and commitment to running continue to inspire me. Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did 🫶🏽.

I wasn’t even prepared to do a 15k tempo in a new environment but I’m glad I actually did it!!!

I’ve also started to teach myself on hydrating and taking something light to eat during this training period between now and Stanchart and on this 5k tempo I tried out @orshydrationkenya the mixed berries flavor from @mwai_2_0 who was happy to share some with me i knew my body was going to react with it because it’s something new and I really loved the flavor and I know you think that I’m done with @orshydrationkenya ? No!!!! I’m definitely going to use them until we adapt to it hopefully before Stanchart🤞🏾 by @being_galil

Didn’t get the PB I wanted but I’m glad I showed up for the run though still recovering from the flu but I did bag the 🥉 position and in that case you would have thought I should have received the price but no the Ts and Cs were that the fastest runner, second male and fastest woman from the @fitbeatinc community which actually makes sense but thank you @hudson__kenya for organizing this run! #findyourrun by @being_galil
