In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we have a chat with Claudio Berardelli, head coach at 2 Running Club in Kenya and the man behind the plan that is producing some of the fastest distance athletes in the world right now, including Evans Chebet, Benson Kipruto, Amos Kipruto, and many more.
We delve into Claudio's background and experience, exploring how he started coaching elite marathoners and what initially drew him to Kenya. He shares fascinating success stories of the athletes he's coached and provides
insights into how elites train compared to "normal" people, ie do they follow the 80-20 rule? Claudio gives us a glimpse into the life at his training camps, detailing the daily routines and commitments of his athletes. We also discuss the influence of Kenyan culture on training, addressing why Kenyans excel at running, the role of certain tribes,
and how cultural factors bolster the mental game of athletes.
Claudio offers his thoughts on the Paris marathon
course and concludes with valuable tips for recreational runners. Tune in as you don't want to miss this episode!
