Training

There’s a tiny farming town called Iten that overlooks the Great Rift Valley. It is here that world renown long distance Kenyan runner, Lornah Kiplagat, has opened the Iten High Altitude Training Centre.

This is a camp for serious marathoners and bookings need to be made early. The high altitude and strict programme (three runs a day, 6a.m., 10 a.m., and 4p.m.) and diet combined with strict rest and physiotherapy work together to build a mean, lean, running machine.
