Eliud Kipchoge is the greatest marathoner of all time. He is the marathon world record holder and two times Olympic gold medalist. Recently I had two conversations with Eliud, one recorded Zoom and I got an opportunity to join my friend Lewis for a coffee with Eliud in Eugene, OR. He has been a huge inspiration to me, in training, racing and daily life.
We discuss Eliud’s strategies for success, running advice for non elite runners and his new Universal Pictures movie, "The Last Milestone”. This is an incredible film that documents his journey of successfully attempting to break the 2 hour marathon mark and leave his place in history.

“Enjoy, when you are running, please enjoy.” It seems like Kipchoge is always relaxed and smiling when he runs. It’s funny to me that a lot of people view running as a kind of masochistic torture but for me, it’s the best part of my day. It’s so important to take pleasure in it.

@FlorisGierman 2 года назад

Yes he looks so smooth and relaxed. In one of the interviews I heard him talk about smiling being a coping mechanism for dealing with tough spots too, that it can help make him feel better, which I have experienced as well on race day. Great point, running is such a joy and important to see it that way. Cheers Jonathan!

@crparanormalinvestigations3824 2 года назад

Absolutely!! Each running day when I awaken, I smile since I'm excited to go for my run. Agreed- it absolutely isthe best part of my day. And as long as you keep it something that you look forward to, you can't help but get in better shape and gradually improve. Like EK said, run, enjoy, and just finish your run. Dedicate yourself to that, and make it consistent and regular, and the rest takes care of itself.

@heggybhoy82 Год назад

Can't wait to go for a run , and enjoy every second of it .

@Runner466 Год назад

I guard my daily run time viciously. I get my son or my job always trying to steal that time and I get nasty about it. That’s the only part of the whole day I’m truly at peace. Well. That and the 30min everyday I spend practicing piano. Just let me have my freaking run/piano time so I can stay sane!!! 😂 I literally almost lost my job over it because my boss was wanting me to join these meetings in the morning when I typically run. I flat out said. No. I was ready to walk out the door over it! After some argument he finally backed down.

I just love this man. Dear mr. Kipchoge, you don’t just inspire the youth, you inspire this middle aged, very average runner. Especially coming back after a long injury, your advice to be consistent and patient in training, not just to improve but to stay injury free, is so relevant and practical. Thanks for being so humble and be able to speak to us mere mortals who won’t be breaking any records but who just want to run and enjoy it.

Excellent points Nikola!

@MrSeamantismichael 2 года назад

Here is my takeaway, I have always found that a focus on enjoyment was the best way for me to improve in my running.When i have pushed too hard or put pressure on myself i have found it can turn the whole process into a real slog.So it's really great to hear the advice from Kipchoge on "just enjoying your running¨ which is something i have found to be true myself.Great interview and keep up the great work Floris.

@FlorisGierman 2 года назад

Great observations Michael! 🙏

@crparanormalinvestigations3824 2 года назад

The quote I run by, as 59 year-old runner who just runs 7 miles, every other day, is: "Run hard, run long, but NEVER outrun your of running." I constantly ask myself during my runs, "Are you having fun?" If the answer is "no", I back off until I'm challenged, yet still enjoying the run. It's never failed me! Don't outrun your joy of running, no matter what.

@livegreatalways 2 года назад

"Start your training and finished it". This will go a long way and deep to motivate me to achieve my last running goal - achieve a sub-3hr Marathon before turning 50!

@FlorisGierman 2 года назад

@Nyelands Год назад

@@FlorisGierman You can tel he is not an analyst of his own running. He has people for that stuff. Kind of shows on the shallow answers he gave. Or maybe he is just protective of his methods.

@kenpoon9426 2 года назад

Start training and finish. Enjoy the run. Be consistent in training. Every one has a call. Marathon is life. I learn a lot from his inspiration and know it time to set the right mindset.

@withathought 2 года назад

So inspiring, that was a great interview. My favourite idea was that even when we fail a goal, if we have tried to do something we have not done before (e.g. first marathon, first sub 4 or sub 3), it is a success because we dared to try.

@RobHigson 2 года назад

@FlorisGierman 2 года назад

Thank you! That was a great takeaway. The only thing to be careful about here is that I asked this specifically in the context of how he optimized his performance for his Sub 2 Hour Marathon running. So he already had a massive base and from there was able to add a lot of medium to high intensity running, long runs, fartleks, intervals, and also easy running. For some non-elite runners too many of these session can definitely lead to injury, so good to find that balance.

Happy to hear that! It's fascinating how many other Extramilest Podcast guests have brought up the importance of journaling. I remember Julianne Dickerson, Jonathan Walton, etc all prioritizing this in their training as well.

True I been constantly running for 3 months now and I went from a 30 minute 5k to a 14.56 minute 5k 🙏

The best lesson: Consistency is key! There are no shortcuts in running and even life, whether you’re a pro or a weekend warrior - you have to be consistent. I think these days people are looking for the shortcuts, quick fixes or magic formulas- but there are none. Consistency is the only currency that counts! Eliud reinforced that thinking

Glad you enjoyed it Tina and great takeaways. That was surely a special week meeting him twice. Now my kids are super into Kipchoge too and also want to run a marathon :D Have a great rest of your weekend!
