Run!!

In this talk I will discuss my favourite pastime: distance running. I will share some of the cutting-edge scientific research on distance running, as well as some of the knowledge I have personally obtained in 18 years of running with anyone from recreational joggers to 10-km-in-31-minutes diehards. Along the way, I will answer the three major questions that I have heard asked many times regarding distance running: 'Why would anyone want to run in the first place?', 'Why do the East-Africans always win?' and last but not least, 'How do I become faster than Martin in 5 easy steps?'.
