Behind the finish line — The 77 Percent

Stefan Möhl

In this week’s special edition of the show, we meet twenty-nine year old Kenyan, Alice Chebii. She has dedicated everything to becoming a world-class runner. We follow her journey as she escapes an abusive relationship for Kenya’s elite high-altitude training grounds, where champions are made, but often at the cost of mental health. Can Chebii rise to the top? And what happens if she doesn’t?
