Running by Jackie Lebo (Kwanini?)

The Kwani? Title by Jackie Lebo named ‘Running’ is the first release from a larger project that seeks to highlight one of the biggest undocumented stories in modern sports history. What exists is fragmented reportage – statistics, anecdotes and inconclusive studies that try to extricate the one thing that makes Kenyan athletes so dominant in middle and long distance running. Against the backdrop of the system that is Kenyan running, the personal stories – the human face of athletics – are the most compelling. Jackie Lebo’s writing questions what motivates people to start running, how their families take it and how they are able to balance life and athletics.
