All careers come to an end, and I hope Eliud can carry on for several more marathons. But if/when it ends...we have been SO LUCKY to have had the opportunity to see his greatness and be inspired. Good luck in Berlin, Eliud, break your record!
What i like about this guy is that he's real. What i mean by that is that he believes in the philosophy he talks about and lives out every second of every day according to a strict discipline and strives for self improvement in every aspect of his life . In a world full of so many pretenders and fake people, it's so rare to find a guy like him. To achieve the level of success he has been able to in a physically punishing sport such as the marathon, there is no room for complaicancy or half heartdnesss, you have to be a true believer in what your doing and be 100% down for the grind and kipchoge is the very definition of all this, good luck in Berlin man, am a genuine fan of your grind and the mental fortitude required to maintain it
He certainly is. I am thrilled to be alive during an amazing time for running, to witness incredible human achievement, to remember how it feels to fly so free. GOAT, Eliud Kipchoge.
@@christiang5209 The speed he runs a marathon pace at is literally faster than the average human can even reach. At least in the Western world where most people hardly exercise.
If somebody can’t hit 13mph they’re either very young very old or severely out of shape, you take out those outliers and I would say at LEAST half of everybody can hit 13mph, for perspective that’s 17 second 100 meter pace
Mr Kipchoege has a world 🌎record in mind in Berlin. Keep on achieving, motivating & inspiring the world through your endeavors Eliud and all the best to you in Berlin and beyond. Thank you NN Running team for posting and all the best to everyone.
Because I am one of his great fans and for the reason that the current world record must fall this September, let me leave this summary of his greatness here for future reference. When I will look back and say, "Here is the greatest marathon runner who did amazing marathon runs in the 2010s and 2020s!" I know it's difficult, but I am just crossing my fingers that he goes under 2 hours in the Berlin marathon, which is an official race. I just want him to become the first person to do a sub-2-hour marathon in an official race. However, if he doesn't, I will still be grateful for his inspiration through his hard work, focus, discipline, sacrifice, unyielding faith & belief in what's possible, consistency, love & passion for his sports career, and above all, his unparalleled humility. He's not only inspired sportspeople but also individuals in professions outside sports. Indeed, we can draw a number of significant life lessons from your performances over the years. The Greatness of Kipchoge Over the 42-Kilometer Distance (A Brief Summary) Kipchoge went undefeated in the marathon race from 2014 to 2019 by winning in Chicago, 4 times in London (the only person to have won 4 times in London), 3 times in Berlin, and winning an Olympic gold medal in 2016. His first loss, since 2014, came in 2020 when he claimed to have had a problem with his ear during the race. But since then, he has not been defeated again, and just became the 3rd person in history to defend the Olympics gold medal over the 42k distance last year in Japan; other marathoners (one from Ethiopia and the other one from Germany) achieved this feat in 1960s/1970s/1980s. In his last Olympic marathon race (2021 in Japan), he defeated the second person by 1 min and 20 secs, a winning margin never witnessed again in the Olympics since 1972. Kipchoge also broke the marathon world record in 2018 in Berlin by improving the world record time by 1 minute and 18 secs, a margin of world record time improvement never witnessed since 1967. To make it even more interesting, he defeated the second athlete by over 4 minutes that day. Out of his 18 marathon races, he has won 16 of them (he lost one in 2013 when he was second to Kipsang, who broke the world record at that time). He currently owns the course records of the London Marathon, Berlin, Tokyo (set this year) and the Hamburg Marathon. This level of dominance has never been witnessed in the history of marathon running. This is a long distance characterized by injuries; anything can go wrong in the middle of the race, but Kipchoge just wins. I don't want to mention the Ineos Challenge of 1:59 because it's highly criticized (though I always think he should get the credit because even if other runners are given those shoes and pacers, they will struggle to go under 2 hrs.-ask yourself why did Zersenay Tadese of Eritria and Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia fail to get close to the 2hr mark after being given the shoes, pacers, and electric cars in the Breaking2 project back in 2017 (same conditions as of those Ineos Challenge in 2019); in that race, Zersenay Tadese ran 2:06:51 while Desisa ran 2:14:10. Kipchoge, who also participated in that project, came very close to the sub-2-hour mark as he ran 2:00:25. When you look at his overall performance over this distance, this guy is just a master of the marathon. To top it off, he makes running look easy with his beautiful economic form; his running is always deceptive because it appears effortless.Plus his humility; he doesn't boast about his successes over this distance. But besides having a high level of endurance, I always think his mental strength is something to admire; in the 2015 Berlin marathon, the insoles of his shoes slipped out just after 1 kilometer and kept flapping around his ankles (though people noticed at around the 20th kilometer), and instead of Kipchoge stopping to fix the shoes, he kept going. He won the race but finished with blisters on his feet; he was bleeding as he ran. When asked why he didn't stop, he said, "...I had to focus and finish the race." You can check that part in this 3 mins video ruclips.net/video/8RURwMPwMtw/видео.html
In decades to come Grandparents will sit down with their Grandchildren and tell them this bed time story " Once upon a time there was a runner from Kenya named Eliud Kipchoge, and he was faster than the wind, stronger than a gazelle and he was so far better than anyone else that his star could be seen from the moon ".
It's my dream one day become a great runner too and the documentaries are really amazing and motivating i hope to one day become like the great people i admire.
He's got to be thinking about a new world record. He wouldn't have switched from the New York Marathon if he didn't think so. Can't wait for Berlin - hoping we get great conditions suitable for the WR. If a fully fit Kenenisa Bekele was also there... my gosh that would be a mouth watering prospect. Probably not, and that dream has passed, but will be hoping secretly 😏
Kipchoge Height167 cm (5 ft 6 in) Weight52 kg (115 lb) 18.6 BML (on border of underweight and normal weight) Think about that. Weight and BMI (weight relative to height) is not talked about much in running. It is physics work=mass*distance traveled and Force = Mass*acceleration. The low weight means less force, more speed due to the body's force limitations. This is not talked about in running much.
The muscles to fat ratio is not mentioned as well. The muscles needed to sustain such speed and distance are almost 100% fully developed. I believe every inch of him is lean muscles including his organs and brain.
About the Abbott device: how can we monitor our glucose level continuously during the long run? Since there is no way to scan with our phone when we are running, we can only scan when we finish, how detailed and accurate the data will be?
Money, money, money. Gotta pitch a product at the end of the video. He established a great career without this device but all us slow runners need to buy it and use it to be like him. Oh, money. You are the true god to so many.
Interesting a glucose level in the blood for long distance running is a stupid idea. Under the physiological point of body, we should focus fatty acid not the glucose.
I despise him. He is a puppet of big corporations. He promotes obedience to the system and totalitarian tools such as biochips etc. He portrays the sport as something great, but what is really behind it are steroids, dirty rivalries, patterns and set competitions. Claptrap about discipline, learning, humility, values. He is a tool for telling people the lies of the system. The truth is different. He will say whatever they punish him, because he gets money for it, and for him there are no other values, because he comes from a poor country. Open your eyes. Get rid of the eternal need for corporate products.

Kipchoge is conditioned to the bone, if he obliterates the field like he did in Tokyo then we can expect good things.
Bekele fully fit in the year 2022 is probably closer to 2.06. He should finish top 5 in London.

Man has almost to no muscle 💪🏻 Maybe that’s the secret to a sub-2 marathon 👀
Muscle size doesn't reflect on strength! And it certainly doesn't reflect endurance. He has incredibly strong and durable legs
He has no body fat you mean. He's still really really strong. You cant run a sub 2 marathon without being strong
