He's absolutely incredible.
I mean, breaking the two-hour marathon record is also just unbelievable.
But I think there have been, you know, I'm not as familiar with this literature, but there have been studies looking at the proportion of like bone lengths in certain parts of Africa, especially.
It's also interesting to note that a lot of these really talented runners come from Ethiopia, where there are highland runners. areas where humans have actually adapted to altitude. So in addition to some of these like biomechanical advantages, they may actually also have physiological advantages that enable them to run faster.

But yeah, I think this is an excellent example of there's clearly something biological making people from this part of the world you know, really excellent runners. And just because you can train a European runner to compete at nearly the same level, that doesn't mean that there's not something special about people like Kipchoge. And so, you know, this comes up a lot with the Bajo as well.

People say, oh, well, you know, they don't hold the free diving depth record. It's like, well, yeah, but they're not training to hold that record. You know, they're training, they're diving just to collect food for their families. They're not training. So what would happen if we did train them? And I think it's a great point.
