00:00I don't have anyone who can help me go to another place to train alone.
00:06In two or three years, I will be at a level where I can be an athlete.
00:12I don't know what will happen to me and my friends.
00:17It depends on the person and how they train.
00:21I'm just trying to have a good time with the people here.
00:27My name is Pamela Koskei. I'm 20 years old.
00:31I train at 3000m steeplechase.
00:50I've been training since I was in high school.
00:54That's where I finished my training.
00:57My first race was in Lopo, Ouskandi.
01:02I won a gold medal there.
01:05I started at 2km.
01:09After that, I went 4km.
01:11After 4km, I went 5km.
01:13After 5km, I went 6km.
01:15After 6km, I reached 10km.
01:18That's why I'm a senior.
01:21I train at 3000m steeplechase.
01:24It's my competition and I love to win.
01:28The race in Australia made me very happy.
01:32It was very competitive.
01:34There were challenges.
01:37I won a bronze medal.
01:39The race was at 6km.
01:43I was 18 years old.
01:52I'm Ericki Maio.
01:54I'm a retired athlete.
01:56I'm the coach of Capsite Athletic Training Camp.
01:59Commando is my nickname.
02:05Capsite is the best place to train because of the altitude.
02:09Secondly, because of the geographical area.
02:14Thirdly, because I've produced a lot of athletes who have won a lot of big races.
02:21Chicago Marathon, New York Marathon, London Marathon.
02:25The best marathon in the world.
02:27That's why I say Capsite is the best place.
02:33Everywhere people are finding altitude.
02:35And here is altitude.
02:41High altitude helipad athletes, when they go to the sea level,
02:44they cannot struggle.
02:46They use little energy.
02:48Red blood cells are more...
02:57The coach motivates me.
03:00He tells me to train hard.
03:04He is more serious about his athletes.
03:08He focuses on each one of us.
03:12He doesn't just focus on one person.
03:15He focuses on everyone.
03:19He wakes us up in the morning.
03:21He helps us to be successful in life.
03:26We go to the morning run.
03:28After the morning run, we relax.
03:31In the evening, we go to the evening run.
03:34Then we call it a day.
03:37The training we do here is speed walk.
03:40There are a lot of them.
03:42Fat leg.
03:44Tempo.
03:46And speed walking.
03:51There is easy.
03:55Long run.
03:57Hill walk.
03:59Here in Capsite, the altitude is good.
04:02We can train well in every sector.
04:07The coach gives us a program that helps each of us.
04:17I see that his performance is getting better.
04:23He has run cross-country, track.
04:27He has been to Europe.
04:30He ran there last month.
04:33For now, he can run 3,000 meters.
04:37Maybe at a certain age, he can change.
04:40He can't run 3,000 meters forever.
04:44Everything changes.
04:47For now, he can run 3,000 meters.
04:50It's okay for him.
04:52I know he will perform.
04:54As long as he trains and follows the program.
04:57Always I say, something hard, something sweet.
05:01If you follow everything, you will succeed.
05:05I am a sports athlete.
05:09I train hard.
05:12I am a good behavior.
05:15I can help people like Kenya.
05:21I can help people like Kenya.
05:25I can help people like Kenya.
05:29I can help people like Kenya.
05:32It's better for me to help people like Kenya.
05:37It's better for me to help people like Kenya.
05:40It will be okay.
