World's Most Elite Long Distance Runners to Conduct Running Clinic in Minneapolis
Elite Kenya athletes to conduct running clinic in Minneapolis where they'll talk about the human body and the ability to run a marathon within 2 hours or less.
- Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI (1888PressRelease) October 10, 2015 - Warrior Edge Athletics announces a running clinic featuring world champion athletes Wilson Kipsang and Abel Kirui. The two athletes will be in Minneapolis to run and train with locals and to share personal insight on the sport. Minneapolis has a vibrant running community. Both Abel and Wilson overcame enormous hurdles to become Olympic medalists. They are considered to be among the fastest runners in the world; Wilson's personal best in the marathon broke the world record in Berlin in 2013, with a time of 2:03:23 (a pace of roughly four and half minutes per mile, for 26.2 miles). Their strict training regiment and intense dedication are contributing factors to their success. Both athletes began running at a young age; they each ran several miles- one way- to get to elementary school. Their hard work paid off; they both have won multiple marathons - making them among the world's most elite distance runners.
Kenyan runners are breaking world records by dedicating themselves to the sport and pushing the human body to unprecedented levels of training. In the world of elite running, the race is on to run a marathon in under 2 hours. Wilson's record of 2:03:23 was recently broken by another Kenyan; Dennis Kimetto who holds the current world record of: 2:02:57. Some scientists say it is not humanly possible to run a marathon in under two hours; however, other scientists disagree. The Kenyan athletes certainly disagree; Kirui says: "I am very much excited to come to Minneapolis to talk about training strategy and how - soon, someone will run a 2 hour marathon. [In order to] run a marathon in 2 hours or less, the preparation and planning are very important."
The running clinic will be held at Life Time Athletic in St. Louis Park, MN on Saturday November 7th and Sunday, November 8th.
