Lekuta Gym bag

This gym duffle bag is named after the famous David Lekuta Rudisha. We source the canvas and leather locally. We then use cotton lining on the main compartment pocket. It then has a separate shoe compartment made from water-resistant fabric. This is to protect your clothes from getting that funky shoe smell as well as keeping them clean. Or a little bit less dirty. The gym duffle bag has a recycled brass adjuster for shortening or lengthening the strap. For quality and durability, we use straps made from cotton webbing. We reinforce the hand straps with leather for longevity and aesthetics. The different colour of leather also makes the bag stand out.

David Lekuta Rudisha was born on the 17th of December in 1988 to Daniel Rudisha and Naomi Rudisha. Daniel won the silver medal in the 1968 Olympics while Naomi is a former 400 m hurdler. Rudisha currently holds the world record of 1:40.91 for the 800 m set in the London 2012 Olympics. Which he won while Sebastian Coe who was its world record holder for more than 17 years. During the 2016 Olympics, Lekuta Rudisha became the first person since Peter Snell in 1964 to win back to back Olympics 800m title back to back. During the first 400m 49 minute, he was tucked close behind. With 300m meters left, He made a surge forming a large gap between him and Taoufik Makhloufi of Algeria to win the gold. His time was the fastest time since the 2012 London Olympics and the fastest during that Olympics (2016). He’s also a supporter of the Arsenal Football Club.

In the wake of Eliud Kipchoge becoming the first man ever to run a marathon in less than 2 hours, it’s clear that training and consistency are among the qualities one needs to be a good athlete. But can we also say that being Kenyan and living and training in our perfect altitude also has A LOT to do with it?
