Eliud Kipchoge is a Kenyan long distance runner, and the 2016 Olympic marathon gold medallist. He has been described as “the greatest marathoner of the modern era”.
He came to prominence in 2003 by winning the junior race at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, setting a world junior record over 5000 metres on the track and then becoming world champion at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics. An Olympic 5000 m bronze for Kenya followed at the 2004 Athens Olympics and he took another bronze at the 2006 IAAF World Indoor Championships.
A series of silver medals came, starting at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics before another runner-up placing at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He was fifth at the 2009 World Championships but again reached the podium at the 2010 Commonwealth Games; he was second behind Moses Kipsiro in the 5000 metres. He has won four medals at editions of the annual IAAF World Athletics Final and is a five-time 5000 m finalist at the World Championships.
His 3000 metres best of 7:27.66 ranks him as the 12th fastest at the distance ever and his 5000 m best of 12:46.53 makes him the fourth fastest ever in the event.
David Bedford OBE is an English former long-distance runner, whose athletic career spanned the early 1970s. Post retirement he served as race director of the London Marathon until 2012, and is the Chairman of the IAAF Road Running Commission (since 2012), as well as sitting on the IAAF Cross Country Committee as the UK Athletics elected representative.
Bedford held the 10,000 metres world record, improving it by 7.6 seconds with his time of 27 minutes 30.80 seconds in 1973. He also held the British records for 3000 m steeplechase and 5000 metres. He usually ran in distinctive red socks, which later led to a well publicised dispute about the use of similarly attired runners in advertisements.

That's true
Who is here after 1:59:40 record
Right here sir... The G.O.A.T did it
Me me
with you
Me too !
I'm here.
"Only the disciplined ones are free in life. If you are undisciplined you are a slave to your emotions and your passions" Eliud Kipchoge (14:46 in the video)
disciplined in the knowledge of Christ
So true.
the scorpio man ruled his passions
Yet his passion is running! So does that mean that he is a "slave to running"?
Tuesdays Runner No because he isn't undisciplined, so he is not a slave to his passions
Who's here after 2020 Tokyo Olympics❤
Congratulations champ. This world is yours. We're living in it.

Me sir, what a speech!
Very inspiring!
Hah! Same!
I'm utterly obsessed with this man. Eliud Kipchoge is my #1 hero right now.
Brian Messemer I feel you man, he is so humble
@Brian Messemer you man didn't disappoint.
How about after he run the sub 2hr
Dude, same.
Òooouh ❤
11:30 - Factors to consider to be successful. The best part of the video starts here.
1. Self Discipline
2. Preparation
3. Organization
4. Positive thinking
5. Work with other people.
6. Consistency
7. Accept and adapt to change
Great
True!
Right
True
Thanks
Give this man the Nobel Prize
Agreed. Eliud is an ambassador.
harry cronos agree
Yes, in this case you are absolutely right. Eliud is peerless.
You can't just give people the Nobel Prize because you like them! Like ex-President Obama who got the Nobel Peace Prize for doing...what exactly?
For what?
"I was offered a chance" to be part of breaking 2 project. My god, this man is humility in person.
Man!!! The humility in that statement... I was offered a chance despite the fact that he really deserves that slot he's not entitled at all.
That really resonated well with me.... Despite the fact that he's the G.O.A.T he's not entitled at all...
So true :)
At 8:55 for anyone who is interested.
@@kostakontos Thank you for the timestamp :)

Kenyans let's all flock here and appreciate our hero for the 1:59 challenge. This is a big mark in the world for our country Kenya. Congratulations kipchonge!
Here with you
It’s not even about being a Kenyan but a proper human being.
Say East Africans...am from Tanzania
TWENDE TWENDE
He is European
"self discipline is doing what's right rather than doing what you feel like doing"
This lecture should be mandatory for our youth to listen and decipher. Lord knows they need it.
Tiffany Vanderbilt 💯
The issue si when it is no longer clear what's the right thing to do
I concur with him
True
I met Kipchoge at a cafe in Nairobi a week after the Berlin Marathon shoe incident and he was waiting to get his US visa to go see Nike in the US about the defective shoes. Nike was in a panic and had summoned him. This man is a special human being, humble and modest to the core. I am honored to have met the only human on this earth who has run the times he has. I was utterly humbled in his presence. A truly great man with an amazing energy and presence.
yes a real hero.....The man is Kind....and Purely hard working and God Blessed with lots of strength and success.
Nice

❤️
Anyone else rewatching this after he set the WR. At Berlin. Again?!?! This guy is unbelievable whether on the roads or at the podium. So many pearls of wisdom here.
He set the world record in Berlin today. Historic and amazing.
and will beat him in few years.
l аm frоm Каzаkstаn ok
And He broke the 2 hour barrier yesterday. Historic and amazing
And today he has broken this record
He did it again, amazing!!!
How could you not love him ????He's a legend
If 2 hours is broke in my life time it will be by this man
He can do it easily, better shoes, better track, better weather, and pace makers stopping air resistance (to a degree). I say he comes across in 1:59 flat.
If you're alive tomorrow Saturday 12th October 2019, you're in.
@Marlin weekley, tomorrow is the day.
You were right he did it
There you're, @Marlin Weekley....1:59:40
What an incredible man; a fine example of excellence. So humble. Pure in heart and mind. Such eloquence, deliberate yet graceful too. I literally hung onto every word he said. A hero and legend #NoHumanIsLimited
Who else came here to mentally prepare for the #INEOS159 Challenge?
Listening to this after Eliud Kipchoge has broken the 2 hr barrier in Vienna is so inspiring.
I’m here after the 1:59:40 record, who else ? This man is up there with the first man on the moon . Amazing human being!!
I'm here too. He is a legend.
I'm here
Amazing to watch this after he has just completed the “impossible” this guy had me in tears watching today one of the most moving things i have ever experienced. Amazing person, amazing Human.
Shades Of Ali please watch 8 videos of Jim Nduruchi
Surely, how can someone dislike such an inspirational video by legend Eliud? If you feel motivated let's give this amazing guy a like.!

When you listen to an example of an athlete like that, there is no better than examining yourself and see what I lack, until today I am missing a lot, thank you Mr. Kipchoge for all knowledge, it is a great privilege to live in the same time as you.
Thanks for what you do
This was a year ago, I shed tears. Today after 1.59.40.20 I'm helpless
i don't know why but his eyes show such focus and determination it amazes me every time
Fazle Rabbi windows to the soul. You see the intense determination........ within.
How many Kenyans 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 after inos marathon!!! Eliud you are really amazing, humbled and kind hearted!!! Much love our Kenyan brother 🥰🥰🥰
"Only the disciplined are free in life."
VERY TRUE
what does discipline has anything to do with being free in life?
@@keren7 it keeps you free from self guilt
Poweeful

I will watch for a second time in order to write down all the precious words and advices coming from Eliud. This speech should be a part of guide book "how to live" included in every school teaching programme.
Karol Nehring you can use the caption to help you with that
😂
He lectures the world
I strongly believe Marathoners are the most humbled athletes.
This guy is just a fitting example.
Perhaps you are confusing "dehydration" or "fatigue" with "humbleness". But yes, long distance running can "humble" you...
@@tuesdaysrunner4038 not at all. Why would you even say that ?
It’s all the self-flaggellation, haha.
I agree, i think it has to do with the extreme patience required in running 20 miles all the time and not going too fast in the beginning. a lot less patience required in running 400m repeats for 5,000m training. The gratification also comes in smaller quantities as you can race 5,000m a lot more frequently than the marathon
No swimming is more hard working because it required whole body to swim fast
I am so proud to be a Kenyan because of Eliud Kipchoge, Wish you and your family all the best
Why to be proud about nations?
I don't think everyone understands how absolutely phenomenal this man is. Even if you don't believe he did this naturally, he still went faster than ever before on his own two feet.
drew osamu true.. The audience ain't doing justice .. He's an absolute genius
Yes, he is, and not just a brilliant runner, he’s a grand master.
NO SILLY AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY
@@seer1623 "the" grandmaster
What's unnatural about it? I don't think there is any part of the run that it wasn't him running. Pacers don't run for u. They are just company and morale. Remember it wasn't a race. He wasn't competing with anyone except the clock. Nothing unnatural at all.
"Plant the tree of self discipline"..... Memorable advice by the greatest long distance runner alive. I am impressed by this man's humility, while believing in himself at the same time. He never shirked his duties, like taking his turn to clean the toilets at running camp. All the best, Eliud Kipchoge.
Greatest marathoner ever - phenomenal man.
Well composed and a good speech. Well done Eliud , we are proud of you here in Kenya.
Shadrack Kibet That shows Kenya has a good education system.
If Oxford can listen to Eliud We must be taking this opportunity his advice is phenomenon
Hongera Bro! Now see, you’re giving a lecture at Oxford University as a man in his own class, we all have different paths, and you brother, you have made us all proud!
He speaks of running in local races as if it’s not big deal, but he is actually running against the best in the world there
Yeah😂😂
True
hahahah. I know. Kipchoge is a legend.
But they are running with the best ever...
The intellectuals receiving doses of Eliud the Kipchoge. My goodness
Fascinating and coming from somebody who never went to college.
This is why he is the best marathoner now. This was so thoughtful, beautiful, and highly, motivational speech!
Amazing humble human being,proudly Kenyan!!
The humility in you Eliud makes me humble..Your resilience and discipline oh my,May God always uplift you and be blessed
Being a role model to many is a blessing.... Discipline and hardwork is equal to success
What an amazing human being this man is. He makes me proud to be a human
I'm crying 🙏👏❤God is great he has brought you from far Eliud kipchoge ✌👊👏👏👏❤
What an incredible humble but confident Man. Greatest runner of all time. One of the best human beings ever
He has too Good English in Him, Queens English, Kudos Eliud, We Kenyans Love you as our Hero!!
This is the best Oxford talk of them all
Here after the 1.59 record. What an amazing gentleman.
Humble man with a kindred spirit
true
Good job Eliud... discipline is a key in every aspect of life... be it financial, relationship or Academics . Discipline plays a major role in success
wow ..wow..wow...What a wonderful Speech. God Bless HIm.!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing! I'm so happy you posted this, thank you. This man is a hero to me
Imagine giving a lecture, remembering all the races and time without reference. Boss you are wooow. Myself I can't even recall the events I went through in January this year.
Oooooh my this guy is on another leval a real legend, a nice speech
The slient after saying "I can Run Free".🥺 feel u right there brother... from a small valley.. what else do we have more?
"The world is full of challenges and, we must challenge ourselves." Eliud Kipchoge
Great talk and congratulate you for another gold medal in Tokyo 2020. I saw you run in Sapporo this morning and reminded me Abebe in1964 Tokyo Olympics. A running philosopher.
Forget about motivational speakers. I've gotten enough motivation from this, from a man who's trully been there like Eliud than mostly any motivational speaker i've listened to in my whole life.
Asante sana Kipchoge. Wewe ni dume bwana!
Asante sana Kipchoge, i like this name
@@limanex1392 Its not his name, Asante sana means "Thank you very much" in Swaheli.
best marathon runner ever, been following his career and am happy that you made it. keep running...
This was beautiful and wonderful to listen to. You promised a beautiful London race and you delivered. Thank you, sir.
have you noticed that the students ask a question, stand while its being answered and let him answer without interruption? Thats what I call COURTESY. The Story in American institutions is exactly opposite. Anyway congrats after INEOS 1.59!!
Absolutely respectful!!! i just love the ettiquete in
Kipchoge is a God given brother to the World,Kenya should be proud.
Best marathon runner we have at the moment .We produce good runners but Eliud has been very consistent. I have run 3 marathons it is very very hard to finish them . And I aches for a week after those marathons. I thought it was easy for them .
A living legend. Thanks for sharing.
A living legend. So happy I get live at a time that I can watch his runs live
Eliud you legend! So much to learn from you
Very motivating and super humble!!
This one touched me so much
You made it Kipchoge,we are so proud of you you all the time....we appreciate more.no man is limited is always on my mind when I see you congratulations
Eluid is the most simplest and legendary play I know, pure motivation...!!
Very motivational!
Thanks for uploading this. Fascinating to listen to.
Self discipline he mentioned is what of his great philosophy quote "Don't lie to yourself." I think when we committed our self to do something i.e. marathon PB, we push and push until we achieved them. No simple joke.
Grit Vongnaya go and slap him because he lostw to u😂
What a legend! The world needs more heroes like Kipchoge! More power to him.
"If humility was a person" I love you Eliud,may your territories expand!
Bravo kipchoge! You are a true hero. Good testimony. Life is a a complete story.
I think what's even more incredible is that Oxford noticed his greatness even before he broke the record...I never heard of him till today😕
You're such a humble hero...we celebrate you Eliud Kipchoge and always will.
Wow! wow! wow! Eliud inspires me on so many levels. Thanks Eliud and Oxford.
Thanks for the video. Very nice to get to know more about Eliud Kipchoge. Great athlete and wise man. His speech is full of beautiful teachings about life.
I love Eliud so much
He just smashed the WR in Berlin, with an absolutely amazing performance
What a champ! With much respect sir, thank you for inspiring us!
Incredible man. He has now won his second Olympic Marathon and just won the Tokyo Marathon yet again [2022]. A very kind and worthy hero.
What a humble man. He is so pure and kind.
I am learning a lot from you big brother, God bless you. Proud to be a Kenyan
Humility personified.. A WONDERFUL MAN.
He is inspiring me so much right now.
amazing piece of video!.. thanks for organizing and sharing and looking forward to see the big marathon
a legend indeed a very humble man, this is from experience with...few months ago... congratulations for breaking Berlin marathon record
That was very good and it was a privilege to be able to watch it. There is a lot of meat there to chew on for inspiration.
This MAN IS TRUE LIVING LEGEND .LOVE FROM INDIA.
Pure Greatness in such a Champion. Truly, it is only the Disciplined ones that are free in Life
Well done, I especially like his humility.
Seems to be a theme with distance runners, Bekele, Kipketer and many others the same. Compare that to footballers...
Not sure I agree with "humility". The first part he is simply bragging about all his wins and medals...that isn't being humble to me. Perhaps you are confusing his mild speaking manner with being humble...though he does seem like a respectable human being.
With most Africans. Its the way most of us are brought up
Thats not bragging, just a statement of facts
@@tuesdaysrunner4038 not bragging but telling, it was part of the lecture.
Very motivating. This man is smart in all; both in his career and intelligence. Proud to be associated with him!
Amazing talk. Everything is possible.
He is my role model ...he talks wisely
This man is my hero, my inspiration. He is very humble and nice also smart. Thank you so much for upload this vdo.
So humble and intelligent...I'm humbled with your words
