- My conclusion, although people thought that it did make some good points, is a little vague. If I were to change it, I would probably explain more what I mean by using the quote "it [is] everything, and nothing,". It seems that a lot of people were confused by that cliffhanger, which I completely understand. I would definitely be much more clear in my conclusion if I were to go back.
- A few people would have liked it if I had delved deeper into the training aspect, so perhaps I could have compared Kenyan training styles with other training styles.
- One person really wanted more explanation for some parts of my blog, such as what makes Kenyans such hard workers, and what makes them love running more than other people. I didn't go into that because a lot of that is sort of speculation, so there really isn't a way to figure that out, but I do agree it would have been a good idea to mention the why in those posts, and maybe find a few different theories.
- Another person mentioned that I shouldn't have used phrases like "I think" and "it seems like", because they made my argument less strong. I see the point in this, however, most of the things I talk about are speculation, and just theories, so I can't exactly know things for sure. But there are definitely a few places I see where I could have made my argument seem stronger on the commentary side by changing these phrases.
- Finally, many people agreed that if I had added more pictures/charts, it would have made the blog more interesting. I would definitely take this advice and include more graphics if I were to make revisions.
How have the culture, style, and other factors of Kenyan long-distance running led to modern-day Kenyan dominance of the sport?
