Lloyd Kempson - Training in Kenya
Episode 1
Friday, 16 May, 2025

In this episode, we sit down with Lloyd Kempson to talk about his recent trip to iten with Kenya Experience - diving into what it was like to train at altitude, immerse himself in Kenyan running culture, and step away from the usual routine. Lloyd shares honest reflections on his time at camp, what surprised him most, and the lessons he brought home. We also take a deep dive into the UK running scene, discussing the cultural differences between traditional athletics clubs and the newer, more community-driven run crews. Lloyd offers his thoughts on the disconnect between the two and what might be done to bridge the gap. Lloyd has also been busy creating content from his time in Kenya - you can find his videos and insights over on our Kenya Experience YouTube channel and on his own social platforms. A must-listen for anyone who might be thinking about taking the leap and heading on a training camp in Kenya! 🏃 🇰🇪
