- Kipchoge’s incredible record is 2:01:39.
- Most of the shortening of the record time was Kipchoge’s efforts to lead a running life in a small community in Kenya.
- in the New York Times There’s this remarkable quote: “A millionaire, Kipchoge is known for exercising an ascetic lifestyle with his running group in Kenya: living apart from his family, chopping vegetables for meals, cleaning toilets, hand washing his equipment and watering from a well to scoop. “
- But “during training” is not really enough – Kipchoge always seems to be training.
- Performance coach and author Steve Magness wrote on Twitter: “Eliud Kipchoge is the greatest of all time … in EVERY sport. His dominance in an important sport of modern times is unparalleled. “
