Avoiding serious injuries over such a long period is also a reason for his greatness, not many athletes can do that.
All about slow aerobic running like 9-10 min pace running 100 plus miles a week and doing band work and plenty of yoga and eating a very simple diet. Less meats more broths. Also tracking miles and having a good 3-4 shoe rotation is crucial.
@@gzfashionsshoes rotation isn’t scientifically proven but the variety of terrain he s running on does even better at changing the impact force of each step
That just goes to show what an intelligent, self aware and astute individual he is to be able to train that hard for so long and avoid injury ❤
@@leemcmeekin5129 some of the fitness drills they do are amazing and require so much coordination and balance! Also running on those dirt roads must be so beneficial less impact but… more coordination and ankle strength to run sub 3’15” km while making sure you don’t slip up and bust your tail 😎 must be amazing to train in Africa too that high elevation is everything for the lung strength 🙌🏽
@@gzfashions Kipchoge runs his 100 + miles per week at 9-10 min pace?? Are you sure?
Best athlete ever. Would love to see 1 more push for an official under 2 hours marathon.
That would be the absolute crown on his career!
Probably the most vivid possible crown on ANY athletic career!!
if he doesnt face any major setback, that's definitely going to happen in the future. it's just a matter of when
The under 2 hour marathon is not going to happen. I predict Kipchoge will have a time of 2:04.37
Nah I wanna see the running shoe company arms race
Dude is pushing 40. That's insane.
People are lasting longer with the science between sleep, nutrition, and training methods. Endurance is one of those things you can get better at, as long as the body doesn't break down. 40 is not some sudden dagger that falls down from the sky.
@@Mandolatron I love your last sentence. I feel like some people spend their youths doing all kinds of drugs/partying/alcohol and when someone who didn't do any of that shows what an actual 40yo should be like, they all think it's voodoo.
@@Mandolatron also the science of PEDs.
@@mav3ric100we are talking about pro athletes...
25/40 is prime for a man still!! If you have proper nutrition and workout regiments
His longevity at the top is just incredible
EPO is uh hell of uh thing!
@@tankeater prove it or shut up
@@tankeater go take it and do what he is doing.
Yup amazing.
@@tankeater I am late to the. I will read the news articles on this. Do you have a good place to start?
The energy that these guys have even after the finishing line is unbelievable....I would jump straight into a coffin and be buried.
😂

Lmaooooo
This guy got me into running. I was 260 pounds at 5’9, so really over weight. I’m 180 pounds now and I’m still going. My goal is to get to 140-150 pounds. I fell in love with running, I run close to 10 miles every day now.
You have destroyed your knees, my friend, a very sad story, but many such cases. Running with over 75kg is just bonkers.
@@ivanmatveyev13 you keep your knees to yourself brother, there are THOUSANDS and thousands of people over 75kg and running with incredible form and in amazing shape. Take your good knees and put them in a locker somewhere, don't use them god forbid. Knees are not to be used. Show me one scientific reference that says knees will be destroyed if you are over 75 and run LOL.
@@ivanmatveyev13 I guess that’d be true if I’ve never ran in my life. I’ve always played soccer even overweight. My muscles and joints are used to the weight. I know how to warm up and stretch before every run and I know how to recover. I’ve never had problems with my knees. I can see where you’re coming from though. God bless
@@Tactical9 how old are they? they will get there bill after 35, believe me
@@robiliocruz5238 no, joints cant adapt to anything, joint cartelage is a resource and you have wasted yours for nothing, aditionaly the fat in your body is cousing inflamation, destroying your knees even more, you could just use a bike to loose your fat tissue, but you wanted to cosplay Kipchoge with 130kg. Football and running is the worst thing you can do with overweight, well basketball is probably even worse, but not by far.
Your ego is your worst enemy, you have overestimated yourself and ruined your health for good.
And by you not using metric units i assume your from the us, so you will pay all the medical bills out of your pocket. Tell me was it worth it?
This guy is amazing! I tried his WR pace for a km and felt like I was going to die! The best I could do was 3:14 and felt like I was sucking lava! His pace is beyond understanding for me.
He's been doing it almost all his life. When did you start?
@@hairtoss7975 I've been running about 2 years and next year I'm 50. Weigh in at 103kgs though, that's my problem!
@@justina7041 yea that's a major problem (only for runners, perfectly normal otherwise). I think Kipchoge is around 55-60 kg
3.14 is still pretty impressive
Im about to turn 57 next month and my best is 4.03
@@barefootbeachrunner9498 I did a short warm up then was at a 90% effort and couldn't hold it any longer. I actually thought I would collapse. My usual pace is only around 5.30 to 6 per km.
In terms of sheer discipline alone, this man has to be the athlete of the century. What he's doing is really just so insane to achieve, and far in excess of the current thresholds of endurance in the elite category. To accomplish this one has to dedicate their entire life to running and then some. Look at the man's training schedule and then consider that he has been doing this for decades without stopping. That I think is the real accomplishment .
"Only the disciplined are truly free"
-Eliud Kipchoge
he takes 3 months breaks man twice a year( that is a lot of break). All world class sportsman are no less than one another.
carl lewis, jordan,jesese owens,phelps,tiger,tom brady, trio: roger,djoko,nadal,pistol pete,rane grizenski,baseball: jeter and co.
lebron james, anteto,kobe,garnett, chamberlin,russel,bradman( cricket),viv richards,greg louganis( diving champ 2 twice), all them gymnasts( nadia, all those russian men), soccer( pele,maradona, ronaldos),tour de france folks( armstrong etc. incredibly though), BOLT,michael johnson,moses( hurdles), decathlon now traiathlon etc etc.
top of the chart: include willaim sisters,graf,martina navaratilova. so kip has lot of company at the top. he is Humble SO ADD MORE POINTS!
Lionel Messi is an athlete of the century but yeah, Kipchoge is up there.
@@nont18411 messi is a not a supreme athlete like ronaldo. he is a highly skilled player. running has no skill per say, it has technique and stamina. hence messi was not put there.
His consistent greatness over his career is incredible. He is definitely in consideration for greatest athlete of all time as far as I'm concerned. I'm excited to see what he'll do in Boston.
Kipchoge is a great marathon runner, but Bade Didrikson would get my vote as greatest athlete of all time (male or female) across a variety of sports and skills.
@@Eugene_Connor change your mind after he cracks 2 hours and add one more gold at olympics!

..for martial arts, there's even body hardening, too. And the technique knowledge base is also quite expansive, so they have to gain it but also keep it all in mind....so, we could add thinking fast as well as spatial relations. I am thinking of judo, sambo, jiujitsu, muay Thai and wrestling especially. There is definitely a talent aspect to that. There is a creativity aspect to thinking that is required even when one has several techniques in mind. And certainly dancers are highly creative.
Even speed has a few types itself, since different energy systems are used in the 100 and 1500, for example.
Eliud has only endurance...and speed. That is a big list of other athletes or those pursuing an immensely athletic endeavor, such as dancing.
The actual list of names would be enormous. Eliud doesn't deserve such praise, especially when he is most likely using carbon fiber plates and blasting EPO.
@@king_has_no_clothskul8635 Sub 2 hours marathon would be an impressive running feat, but world-class skills and records across multiple sports is much more well-rounded athleticism.
@@Eugene_Connor Othani.
In 4 days I am running my first half marathon, and watching this is completely insane to put it lightly..
How'd you do???
@@teddymckinney4425 looks like he didn’t pull through 😟
RIP
Howd you do
Thought I was a hero running 200+ miles a month at 55 , but this guy is intergalactic 👍👍👍
Nah, you're superman. That's coming from a 23 year old lol.
Incredible!
Tell me, what did you do to be so fit at 55?
I ran a half marathon and was phasing in and out of existence. You’re basically an alien
I was on a team with Tony Krupicka once. He would run like 20 miles a day outside of track practice and then also do whatever workout the other distance runners were doing during team practice as if it was a trivial annoyance. He wasn’t as fast of a marathoner, obviously, but he was working up to 50 and 100 mile races.
How do people even fit 20 miles of running into their everyday geeez
@@xXEvangelXx 3 or 4 hours really isn't that long, sounds like it was all he did. A nice healthy balance😋
Unbelievable. I think I'm pretty hardcore for doing 10 miles per day at age 39 (64 minutes) and Kipchoge is doubling that at a faster pace at 40. He is THE MAN.
That's pretty legit bruh
It may not be olympic level but don’t discredit yourself!
He is fucking 40 🤯
What am I doing with my body Christ 😂
That final part of the video is awesome. It shows Kipchoge's back while running as you sign out. Both you and Kipchoge end the video in style.
When Kipchoge says his training has gone "well," that translates to "get your popcorn - here comes something superhuman (again)." I wish I could watch live but I'll be in my corral in Hopkinton - already looking forward to the replay!
He's just straight up awesome! 🙌🏻
Never seen a marathon runner so consistent as Kipchoge , so fast and winning major city marathons and Olympics twice with incredible margin of victory ahead of a second placed finisher. There is hardly anyone who can follow and challenge Kipchoge come the business end of the marathon. This means his break away from the field when he does break away is at such a deadly pace that no one dares to follow or match him.
on top of that he is OLD, he isn't like 25 in his peak of youth
@@defaultworkouts Marathoning peak age is between 30-36 years old, you do know that? It takes many years of aerobic development + speed development to build into solid marathoning.
@@TheMontageGames I see. I keep thinking a 20 something kid is gonna destroy a 30 something old hag.
@@defaultworkouts you’re thinking of the mile: this is the marathon.
Toshihiko Seko of Japan ran 14 major marathons between 1978 and 1988, winning 11 of them with one second place and one third place, and a 14th place at the 1984 Olympics. He won the Fukuoka marathon four times, which was almost like a world championship in those days because it was it was the main race that the Soviet and eastern bloc authorities would allow their best marathoners to travel to and compete in.
He won the Boston Marathon in 1981 and 1987, and was second in 1979.
He would have been one of the favourites in Moscow 1980 if Japan had not boycotted those Olympics.
Absolute Machine. Huge respect.
This will be an amazing race! Can't wait!
Absolutely amazing. So so excited for Boston
This is incredible. Can’t wait to see what happens next for this man
If you run a 26 mile marathon in 2 hours that means you had an average running speed of 13mph--that is crazy.
That’s literally my best mile time 26 times in a row.
These videos help so much when I try to explain the inhuman abilities elite runners have. Its in such a class of its own that unless you run its practically impossible to really appreciate.
Insane athlete, willingness, and good genetics all hit the perfect storm
I'm honestly amazed at how his knees can take the abuse. Lots of respect for Kipchoge!
When you weigh 54kg is hard to have a knee injury
@@omarinheiropopeye no sadly not :/
EDIT:
But definitely easier not having one, still easy to get one of you mess up or are unlucky.
suspension happens in the heels, then in the knew and lastly in the hips.
Heels joints have higher cartilage regeneration capabilities then the knee, and the knee have higher cartilage regeneration capabilities then the hips (can't find the study where i read it but u can find it if u look it up)
With proper running form (running on your toes and other techniques), long distances won't injure your knee.
The shoes absorb the impact!!! Let's Go Nike!!!!!!
Light body weight paired with excellent technique thanks to many years of training as well as free/sponsored equipment and I assume the best healthcare possible to get for an athlete
😆 you played us all with that opening question. And I’m here from it 😎. Kipchoge is imho the greatest runner in known history 🙏🏾
He's a very blessed athlete, first with his talent then the support from the team behind him. He doesn't even need to dope, the Abbott Sports Nutrition pretty much based their R&D on him. He gets to test the very best of their products, designed for him.
What separates kipchoge from the rest is his mental strength 💯 the man truly rules his mind like many of us simply can't. Inspiring just hearing him talk
I am speechless... It is very important to know that... Kipchoge has literally been preparing for boston... his ENTIRE LIFE! I mean, Kipchoge was an amazing cross country runner! and even in his preparations for all those flat, fast, marathon courses he still had hilly training, so yes... he has a huge advantage in boston. Im telling you he was built for that course, (even though he is 38!) his running form really, and truly, amazes me! the reason hes so great is because of "discipline" ! NO HUMAN IS LIMITED!!!
Gonna be fascinating to watch. Undoubtedly some runners will push from the start just to mess with Eliud's strategy. Also he mentions training uphill loads but many Boston runners talk about the downhills being the killer. I'm sure Eliud has an army of race strategists in his training camp to go over all of this but MAN I AM PUMPED TO SEE HOW THIS GOES DOWN!
Yeah that's going to be incredible to watch
On a side note…that 7:27 PR for the 3k is insane
Great video!
Epic video my friend 🙌🏼.... Love how you put the fire 🔥 behind every single video
I got to school in Boston, so excited to be able to watch this live
This Man will never be Beaten...for his Work Ethic or for the way he delivers 🙏
This man runs more miles than most people drive in a week.
The GOAT
He is even doesnt look tired when finish
Thanks so much
Total running productions, I love your videos! Your channel is my daily routine!
That's incredible to win by that margin in such a difficult event. Most runners wouldn't be able to push themselves without a competitor.
His competition is the clock.
My friend tried his pace and was almost at a sprint. I am an endurance athlete myself, at 15 year old, but my best 2km time was 6:02, 4km was 13:27. I haven't tried timing longer distance runs properly, but I am going to start training for marathon, and half marathon runs. Hopefully some day I can get a sub 2:30:00 marathon, which is still a great time. I have an advantage of being 100lbs and 5'5 almost 5'6. I am short and underweight, so I only need to gain maybe 10-15 kilograms in order to have an ideal running size.
I also love that his training videos are just him running around a dirt track too, nothing fancy.
His form is just so pure it's like watching a computer simulation.
His pace is typically 185 SPM, which is what I do however he goes at least 2x faster. That blows my mind.
Great video. One small criticism, Tanzania is pronounced Tan zah nee ah. It does not rhyme with mania.
Love your work

Respect his longevity
Same sentiments as other comments, avoiding injuries on such consistent long runs is remarkable. Video does not address the diet, which is the most important thing for any runner.
Guys knees and feet must be made of otherworldly stuff man. Crazy
Legend.
This guy runs fast!
he is an absolute beast. his marathon time is my half marathon time.
I know dude
It's crazy
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪. The pride of Kenya
The best part is he looks like he can run another 2 marathons right after without sweating
Greatness
Did cross country, 4 miles felt like hell, how does he do it!!!😂
🤣🤣🤣 I know right!
You just need to run your whole life and weight around 50 kg
Can’t wait to watch him run Boston ‘23
It would be so cool for kipchoge to break the the course records for the big 6 marathons
And he's 38.
4-min mile WOW! I can barely break into the 5-min at my best condition and that was only 1 mile LOL
This statistic gave me chills.. thats just crazy.
GOAT
🐐
Incredible dominance
2:00 😊
Te vagy a lekedvencem futók közül 🎉
Legjob
Those vaporfly he has on @ 6:54 🔥🔥🔥. What colorway is that?
I can't imagine having that much stamina.
....I am soon 67 years of age. I trot-run-walk about 5-8 miles per day. My buddies in my age group recommended I walk -- but since I have been trotting for such a long time my body (and mind) is fine at 5-8 miles per day. Perhaps Kipchoge feels fine at 20 miles per day. It is the "normal" for Kipchoge.
Good luck to him, hope the rain isn't a problem.
Wonder how his joints look like. Seriously - that would be very interesting to know - MRI scan, etc. . It's incredible what the human body is capable of. All these movements and the stress of absorbing the shocks from running. Wow!
ya boy goes fast
Improving one's endurance and speed in your late 30's. In every other sport I know, this is only achievable with PEDs. I hope I'm wrong but I hoped I was wrong about Lance Armstrong, too.
💉
Not in running.
This guy is just lucky that David Goggins is not competing in marathon.
Running 20 miles a day will do 3 things:
Increase your risk for atrial fibrillation.
Hammer your joints for arthritis
Stress the body to no end
Yes for an average person it would not for somebody that does it for years
@@siemniak The continuation of it all is just detrimental in the long rung. Like for example, doing HIIT twice a week is efficient, even 3 times. If you were to run on a treadmill with sprints, it's better on the joints and you wouldn't need more then 22 minutes-ish each time.
As a sophomore in hs I am yet to sub 16 minute 5k this man is crazy
dude, you're fast. keep it up
As an ultrarunner, I can confirm: that’s pretty damn fast! Slow down and take it easy ;).
So was Emile Zatopek! He won the 5K...10K...and Marathon in the same Olympics....and he also ran a 5K Qualifying race so he ran the 5K twice. And I'm not racist but he was White.
@@SanderBessels I am pretty sure he has coaches teaching him how to be a successful athlete.
@@danielbrown3461 All of the great long distance runners during that era and prior to that were white.
i keep myself resonably fit and although I've never competed in the olympics, I have completed 42 kms in 2:05 minutes (personal best). Admiteddly the last 15 kms were down hill and I was riding a bicyle.
2 hours and 5 minutes for a 44k TT is a really terrible time. In case you’re wondering, it’s usually done in about 45 minute to an hour, on clipless pedal TT bikes solo. With groups it’s even faster.
How we can get Eliud kipocghe exercises?
G. O. A. T.
Wishing him luck hope for good weather fast time's what a legend
lmao i cant even drive 20miles here in uk, while this man can run it?
Imagine yourself running 2h without stop on this pace... Bro this is craziness
I cant wait for Boston. How can you watch if from outside the US? I'm in Australia
THE BIONIC MAN + THE FLASH = ELIUD KIPCHOGE 100%
I wonder if Kipchoge has one of those 26.2 stickers on his car.
He don’t need a car with those legs
Total mileage of around 125 miles per week is pretty standard for an elite marathon runner, and has been for about fifty years. You could say 110 to 140 miles or so.
But the actual composition of Eliud’s training has surely made him the super-champion that he is.
3:55 - how is this man still living with such an insane regimen DAMN
When I saw the thumbnail I was thinking good god what happened to David Goggins
When the 2-hour Marathon finally gets broken, it might just be the most legendary record ever performed in sports. The most pure of sports executed with absolute perfection.
He’s on Tren!!!
Only the strong survive and the weak perish!
Stumbled on this video , but one day i will surpass this top record, someway, somehow.
No you won't mate
I will whether you or any other being in this realm approves of it or not.
I rejected unwanted speaking energetic spells before writing this comment, so I am already immune.
Runners in the 60/70's did much more milage. I remember Lasse Viren asked about his daily training : "I run between 15 and 60 kms a day. But more often 60 than 15."
I have seen Dave Bedford preparing the 1972 Olympics in St-Moritz. He ran every day 20 kms in the morning and 20 in the end afternoon (3'30"/3'40" pace) and at noon : one day 20 x 1000m in 2'50" with 2 min rest and the other day 40 x 300m in 47" (just jogging the curve to recover). In the evening he could be found in the pub, drinking one beer after another and chasing girls. He stopped running at 24 (after blowing up the 10000 WR).
Cyclists in the 70s rode more training miles than cyclists nowadays, yet the quality of the training is better now with less mileage.
@@florianbusch3082 In the 70's, we thought that the more we trained, the better! We weren't looking to recover thinking it was a waste of time. In fact, it is the key of performance coupled with a hard - and quality - training. As a complete amateur, I ran 140 km a week while working (for my job) 9 hours a day. And sleeping 4 hours a night which was enough according to the famous German trainer Ernst Van Aaken (he recommended 60 km in 5 training sessions a day for a professional runner).
That said, the improvement is not huge since the 70's for the average runner. Back then, no one dared to start a marathon if not able to run in less than 3 hours. We were only 100 to 150 of us at the start, and after 3 hours, they would begin dismantling the facilities at the finish ! At the fist Paris Marathon, the last finisher was in 3h20.
Virén did not run 60 km/day. That is pure BS.
@@stefanjohansson-cw1ro I heard it from his mouth ! And Vätäinen said much the same thing.
@@florianbusch3082 Better bikes, better nutrition, better physio/massage/rehab, etc... Quantity of training is important in stamina events like the marathon and we were learning lots in the 70's and prior. 160km running/week was considered the baseline for long distance. Even Arthur Lydiard, an internationally recognized coach from New Zealand, had middle-distance runners and Peter Snell (world 800m and mile record holder in the early 60s) training on such regimens.
It’s true, I’m a grown man that cried once I saw his personal records 😢
So much better at the marathon than I am
damn he runs about as fast as i cycle over the same distance!
Ek is just incredible
LFG!!! 🔥🔥🔥
and he does it without looking tired at the end
First time i run 16km i could not walk for three days Like a normal person. Third time i did IT i could have 5 minutes break and go another 16. It's normal with practice.
How his knees are not in absolute bits is beyond me, I used to trail run and I am only 41 and already suffering with arthritis, and I don't cover anywhere near the distances this guy does, I have done several ultra marathons, one being a 56 mile and the other being 102 miler, but usually I used to top out at 30-35 miles and that was only once a month although most days did consist of varying degrees of running and trail, huge respect and credit for being such an amazing athlete
