Kenyan Kids Running

Why are Kenyans so good at distance running. While in Iten, Kenya we saw many young kids running to and from school. Some would just hop in with us for a short wile, others running past us. Many kids have a good distance to school, some even have to go home for lunch then back for afternoon studies. Kenyan kids are for sure more active than the average American school kid.
