Beginning September 12th, Matt Taylor (who brought you ChasingTradition.com) will be documenting the lifestyle and training of an elite group of marathoners managed by KIMbia Athletics and sponsored by New Balance. The athletes, including Ben Maiyo, John Yuda, Charles Kibiwott, Thomas Nyariki, and others, have recently moved from their training camp in Iten, Kenya to the outskirts of Boulder, Colorado. They've left their families and friends behind to start two months of intense and focused marathon training directed by Coach Dieter Hogen. As a group and individually they have very high expectations. Five of them will race the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon in October and at least two will race the ING New York City Marathon in November.
The website - www.chasingKIMBIA.com - will record the journey on a daily basis with blog entries, interviews, pictures, videos, and more. It will provide a backstage pass to the lives of elite distance runners as they train for a major marathon. On the site today you'll find a preview video of what's to come. The real action begins on September 12th.
