ELIUD KIPCHOGE || WHAT IT TAKES TO BE GREAT 

The dude does it all... trains hard, pushes his pace, defeats his rivals, is an environmentalist(ooh yeah)! Tops it all with a wr that no one can dream of running. Congrats, Eliud Kipchoge. Best to u in your further goals

My Hero, Proud to be Kenyan!

Totally agree.

It’s the kindhearted words he has and the humble life he lives.😊

very nice .....

Well, I'm an emotional guy and living with many passions and enjoying them. And I can say that the disciplined ones are the slaves of their own discipline.

@@bolivar9586 Saying that one is a slave to discipline is like saying one is a slave to freedom. It's an oxymoron. You can disagree with Kipchoge's quote but you have to understand that he is backed by minds like Nietzsche, Freud and Jung. I don't know if you've read any of them but I can't do justice to their works with a youtube comment. One of their pinnacle insights was that there are forces in your brain that control you far more than you control them. These forces reside in very deep and subconscious parts of your brain that you aren't even aware of them. They are the reason why only a handful of people are able to commit to their new year's resolution. The first step to being able to control them is to be aware of their existence. This is discipline and it is supremely important to achieving almost any long term goal. You wouldn't have youtube, the internet or your computer to type a comment on if the world was full of people that just lived by emotion and passion without discipline. In fact the reason humans have made mind-boggling levels of progress is because of people willing to commit to accomplishing long-term goals despite what their emotions dictate to them in the short term. In the end, we're much more happier and find more meaning in life when we commit to goals and take up the necessary responsibilities to accomplish the goals. Otherwise, people just live a pathetic and ignorant life without much purpose.

Aron Tesfay very impressive Aron. Can you please share the books you have read on this subject.

@@SML783 I have read some of Jung's books (actually that's not entirely true since I haven't even come close to completing a single entire book). The good thing about Jung is that you'll also know a lot about his predecessors since he borrows and/or critics their works in his writings. The caveat is that Jung's works are large volumes of above-average level of reading. I have been reading "The Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious" for a while now and I'm still on the first volume. Another great read is "Modern Man in Search of a Soul". Of course if like me and most other people, you don't have plenty of time, there are authors like Jordan Peterson who do a great job of providing the essence in books that aren't as huge. I have partially read "Maps of Meaning", which is a hard read. "12 Rules for Life" is a lot easier but still an excellent book. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting a few other materials I've read. I'll try and remember to share when I recall them

This video came out after the sub-2-hour marathon so everyone is here after.....

@@braydenecker6939 it came before, check your math (no offense) April 1st 2019 is before October 12th 2019

Sub 2 doesn't even equate to what the human mind can comprehend for a 26.2 mile race. Makes zero sense. He did it, though. The greatest of all time Eliud Kipchoge

Eliud is an amazing athlete. I remember when people where saying Tiger Woods is the greatest athlete of all time. What a joke that was.

Why?

Good stuff dude

That awesome!!!

Well done! So, please do not run regularly. Please run daily!

Wouldt that make you a slave to a certain pattern. If you give in to your desires, wouldnt that make you free to do whatever you want?

NO DOUBTS ABOUT THAT

@@peace606 for the moment, yes. I believe there needs to be a perfect balance between pleasure and discipline.

@@peace606 See, you control your desires. You dont let your desires control you

Y discipline doesn't mean cutting out pleasure and relaxation from your life. It meaning being able create a balance between all aspects of your life.

I’m here before it.

me too

kunal sharma 🤣🤣🤣

Total Running Productions they’re honestly so good bro! Keep em coming!

@@TotalRunningProductions What's Kipchoge's lowest pulse ever recorded when he is at his peak form?

That's a good question. Unfortunately I'm not sure. I know elite endurance athletes reach a resting heart rate between 30 and 35 beats per minute. My guess would be that Eliud is right around there. If I find any more information I'll reach back to you.

That's a very good questions Eliud is mostly injury free...and that shows his simple lifestyle down to the earth and intelligent smart way of training has contributed to stay injury free....

Lack of injury also means not pushing yourself to the limits and being patient on your victory time. It took him many years to run, win and remain comfortable without working on breaking the world record. Indeed injury really wastes opportunities for athletes, Kenya's Rudisha and Jelimo are classic examples of those who pushed themselves hard and injury affected their career.

Reinis Martinsons XD sane dude

Lol 😂😁😀

Yeah, 20 minutes tempo run is enough for us mortals, maybe 40min in good day.

you are not alone.

Repetition is the father of learning . Do it long enough till your body adjusts to it then move on to 7, 9, 12 KM runs

Standing..

I'm going to try next marathon. I expect to break the World Record!

I think it has to do with having the correct tongue posture. If your tongue is correctly positioned, your face appears to be smiling. I also agree it probably plays a part in encouraging beneficial endorphins to be produced in the body. The posture of the body overall helps that though, not just smiling.

True. You have to be self aware especially during the final of the race.

you know what really helps? Being slim af as he is. :D

I just tried that during last night's 2.4km , I think i improved a couple of seconds. Not bad!
