Why Are The Kenyan’s So Great At Running

While I was watching the London Marathon this morning I asked myself a question; “Why are the Kenyan’s the best long distant runners in the world and what do they eat.”

Do not bet against a Kenyan, or several Kenyans, finishing first. Kenyan runners are amazing and love to run.

Since it is impossible to train hard and race well without  good and healthy nutrition, what role does diet play in the Kenyans’ success? And, more importantly, could eating like the Kenyans help you be fitter, healthier and slimmer.

Kenyan food is remarkably basic: small amounts of roasted meat, cooked greens, fruit, milk and, always, ugali, a thick, polenta-style cornmeal porridge. Made from water and maize (corn), which is traditionally ground by hand into flour, ugali serves as the national dish of East Africa (click here for recipe). Bland and tasteless by itself, Kenyans eat ugali daily, typically as a base for a meat stew and thinned with milk or water into a thin gruel for breakfast. Unappetizing as it might sound to you, Kenyans love it.

If you want to find out why the Kenyan’s are so great at running then watch the video below.
