Eliud Kipchoge on why Berlin makes for good ground for breaking the marathon world record
Five-time Berlin champion Eliud Kipchoge has shared his thoughts on why he thinks the Berlin Marathon makes for the best ground to break world records as he misses this year's event.
The four-time London Marathon champion added that people are still investing most of their time in training with the hope of making a great impact in running, insisting that he has already achieved a lot and it might be time for other people to continue from where he left.
“Tokyo is next year and I always plan my things…but I’ll know in the next one month. The future of marathons is great, the future of marathons is actually sweet enough to inspire people. People still have anger to run very fast, still have anger to win races, still have anger to motivate and to go for training,” Eliud Kipchoge said.
The marathon legend revealed his proudest moment in athletics, noting that he changed the mindset of a lot of people concerning marathon running.
Eliud Kipchoge also believes his ability to run under two hours was an eye opener to many, young and old and changed the perspective of the world.
“My proudest moment in athletics is running under two hours, trying to unlock the thinking that no human being can run under two hours. That’s my best moment ever that I feel that the whole team and I were successful to get a mark under two hours and above all, inspire many people and tell people that they could run under two hours,” Eliud Kipchoge said.
“Dare to dream and dare to do it and now many people are having the mentality that they can do their best and push themselves to the limit.”
