Marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge has opened up on what fuels his desire for success while sharing the strict training regimen that keeps him in top shape.
Marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge says the love for sport and the need to keep inspiring the world to run are some of his key motivators.
Kipchoge is getting into the twilight years of his career but does not look like stopping anytime soon and maintains a strict training regimen with eyes on further success.
Even after a poor 2024 season, when he finished 10th in Tokyo and dropped out of the race at the Paris Olympics, Kipchoge is still keen to right those wrongs amidst calls for him to retire, and he says the need to keep inspiring others gives him the fuel to keep going.

Sha’Cari Richardson’s multimillion luxury house that makes her feel at home with boyfriend Christian Coleman
Track and field stars have invested in new homes this year but American sprint queen Sha’Carri Richardson has been enjoying the trappings of a multimillion house for the last two years.
To show just how seriously he takes his craft, the 40-year-old keeps a strict regimen that some of his agemates would even struggle with but believes is the only way to get the best out of him.
“I wake up at 5:40 am, 6:10 am. I am on the road training for one-and-a-half hours, come back, have breakfast, and wait for another two hours for exercises. After that, I have lunch, then wait for the evening run and after the evening run, I prepare myself to have dinner and then go to bed. On Sundays I go for training once a day in the morning,” he added.
Kipchoge is yet to reveal which race he will feature in next but fans will have to get used to seeing him more on the road as he plots another major triumph.
