We have nothing to lose by taking a chance on @OkiyaOmtatah , but everything to gain if this works! We will do our part as true patriots of this nation!

Started running with a 3k shoe… used my phone ( I still use my phone ) bado natafuta za garmin fenix 9 pro 😂 in short! You don’t need much to start running, just a comfortable shoe… remember to go one size up for your running shoe!
If you can, avoid second hand running shoes because the shoe has already taken the form of the former owner!
Focus on movement over pace/speed… you are good to go!

After sharing my ordeal at the #standardcharteredmarathon some of you have reached out sharing your experiences and challenges that you faced during the run, previous runs and hikes.
From injuries to unexpected bathroom calls, the list goes on and on! It’s very much human to beat yourself down for what happened, however, you have to make peace with it and keep going, and the sooner you do that, the better for you!
Not every race or even training block goes as planned!
My challenges began in August with a hip flexor injury, forcing me to take a 2 week break and lots of physio sessions as I focused on healing!
Fast forward to the run, I had a very good first half, covering it in 1:21:43, and I was confident that I could cover the remaining half in 1:20.
However, my stomach issues kicked in a km after, and from there on, my focus shifted from pace to surviving and finishing the marathon!
And that’s the whole point, things sometimes do fall apart, and when they do, don’t let that dull your spirit. Pick yourself up, do what you have to do, and keep going!
To those who have injuries, I wish you a quick recovery. Take some time off to heal & recover, then get back to it!
To the @stanchartkenya_ thank you for a very well organized run! The support was really impressive! There was enough @orshydrationkenya and @reload_ke also came through, not forgetting all the marshals, and everyone who was on the ground offering support to the thousands of runners!
See you on the next one! @adidasrunning @adidas

Part 2 #standardcharteredbank
If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together!
This was my mantra going into this marathon! I actively looked for fellow runners targeting a similar time! Even though I was loud about a sub 2:50, deep down, I was going for a sub 2:45.
I knew that this race was going to be about discipline and sticking to the plan! Armed with lessons from NCM, where I got carried away and started too fast, this time round, I was keen not to betray myself.
At the start line I met @edgarruner , whom we had agreed to kick off with a pace of 3:55. One km in, the pace was 3:40, which felt comfortable, and so we slowed down slightly and kept going.
Soon, @atati caught up with us, and the group grew to 3. A few minutes in, @fredrickngeno arrived… Finally, @BrianKasembeli3 joined us, and we pushed together, with so much unity, sharing water, ORS, Reload and psyching each other up. The group was so full of energy, and we cheered other runners as well!
The run felt good, easy and comfortable as we largely oscillated from a pace of 3:45 to 3:55!
At Kibera Hill, Lee caught up with us, and we pushed on together.
As we headed towards the Karen Exit, you could tell that we were fairing differently on matters strength, and at this point, it was everyone for himself!
By the turn point, we had covered close to 30km. The group had served its purpose, and now, it was time for everyone to push to their level best!
Lee took off. I tried to keep up but I was already fighting a losing battle with my stomach, which was at this point, running faster than I was 🤣. And so I watched him fly! But it gave me strength to keep going! He became a light house at a very difficult point!
Unfortunately, the group didn’t get a picture together after we all crossed the finish line since I took off to the bathroom immediately due to my shitty situation! The most important thing is that everybody had a good performance 💪🏾
I’m really greatful to the 4 Gentlemen! Thank you so much for keeping it locked! Let’s do it again on the next run 💪🏾
