  • Eliud Kipchoge is considered by many to be the greatest marathon runner of all time. Since 2013, Kipchoge has been almost unbeatable across the marathon distance. In September of 2018, Kipchoge destroyed the previous world record in the marathon by running a time of 2:01:39.
    In this video, we'll be taking a look at how Eliud Kipchoge lives on a day to day basis, and perhaps we'll understand how to be better in the marathon.
    Thank you all very much for watching.

    "Only the disciplined ones are free in life. If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your emotions and your passions." That is one of most underrated quotes I've ever heard. I don't know how much people realize the profound truth in that statement

      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.

      @@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

After dinner, as if by remote control, my body got changed, put on my HR monitor and grabbed my phone for Strava, went outside, and ran my first ever 10K. Full disclosure, last month I ran once, a 5K, that was my greatest distance until today. I ran completely inspired. I felt so alive. I didn't know running could be like that. Thank you Mr. Kipchoge and thank you Total Running Productions. Here are my numbers from Strava: 10.2 km ~ 1:02:29 ~ 9:48/mi

      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.

      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.

      i was kinda sad when i realised that non-runners really can't appreciate elite marathoners. i had a conversation with my mon when we were driving and mentioned to her when we went 20km/h in one section that this is the pace of the world record marathon, i said "imagine a man ran with this pace but for 42 kilometers!" and her reply was "it's slow". WTF this is all out sprint for, it's insanely fast for 99.9% of the people, trained people can barely maintain it for 400m, let alone kilometer after kilometer. you need to run to appreciate it, if you don't run it looks like a jog for the average viewer.

    I love this video-thank you! An idea for a future video: a profile on Mikey Brannigan. He is a great runner who has autism, a fantastic story and Olympic dreams.
