Very interesting to know you lived and worked there. So you also have a physical education background? Must have been a great place to spend a few years in a totally different culture, especially a beautiful country like Kenya, did you manage to get the chance to do any of the safaris?
While I can't claim to have such an illustrious related experience, I know a fair few even of the lower standard Kenyan runners would fly over to England regularly to sweep up all the smaller running events cash prizes! My bro use to run in a lot of the small standard ones where there was around £1000 or something of that sort of prize money for first place, you'd see not just Kenyans but many other Africans partaking where you already knew the English runners wouldn't stand a chance on the whole lol
