Exploring the Unique Running Culture of Ethiopia With Anthropologist Mike Crawley

  • Resumen

  • Imagine a culture where running is not just a sport, it's a way of life. In our conversation, we discover how the Ethiopian running culture is deeply tied to the landscape, spirituality, and even the weather.

    The terrain of Ethiopia shapes the training methods of its runners, resulting in techniques that build strength and speed in ways that are unique to this part of the world.

    Mike expertly compares and contrasts this with the running cultures of other countries, notably Kenya, revealing a fascinating blend of terrain, spiritual beliefs, and mystical practices that Ethiopian runners use to gain strength.

    Wrapping up our conversation, we delve into the power of group training, its role in fostering a sense of sacrifice among Ethiopian runners. We also touch on the rising popularity of park runs and the Inner City Running Club in the Dublin area.

    To add a cherry on top, Mike offers listeners three valuable tips for runners, along with three must-read book recommendations.
