Eliud Kipchoge is a Kenyan long distance runner, and the 2016 Olympic marathon gold medallist. He has been described as “the greatest marathoner of the modern era”.
He came to prominence in 2003 by winning the junior race at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, setting a world junior record over 5000 metres on the track and then becoming world champion at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics. An Olympic 5000 m bronze for Kenya followed at the 2004 Athens Olympics and he took another bronze at the 2006 IAAF World Indoor Championships.
A series of silver medals came, starting at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics before another runner-up placing at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He was fifth at the 2009 World Championships but again reached the podium at the 2010 Commonwealth Games; he was second behind Moses Kipsiro in the 5000 metres. He has won four medals at editions of the annual IAAF World Athletics Final and is a five-time 5000 m finalist at the World Championships.
His 3000 metres best of 7:27.66 ranks him as the 12th fastest at the distance ever and his 5000 m best of 12:46.53 makes him the fourth fastest ever in the event.
David Bedford OBE is an English former long-distance runner, whose athletic career spanned the early 1970s. Post retirement he served as race director of the London Marathon until 2012, and is the Chairman of the IAAF Road Running Commission (since 2012), as well as sitting on the IAAF Cross Country Committee as the UK Athletics elected representative.
Bedford held the 10,000 metres world record, improving it by 7.6 seconds with his time of 27 minutes 30.80 seconds in 1973. He also held the British records for 3000 m steeplechase and 5000 metres. He usually ran in distinctive red socks, which later led to a well publicised dispute about the use of similarly attired runners in advertisements.

Right here sir... The G.O.A.T did it

"self discipline is doing what's right rather than doing what you feel like doing"
This lecture should be mandatory for our youth to listen and decipher. Lord knows they need it.
Tiffany Vanderbilt 💯
The issue si when it is no longer clear what's the right thing to do
I concur with him
True
"I was offered a chance" to be part of breaking 2 project. My god, this man is humility in person.
Man!!! The humility in that statement... I was offered a chance despite the fact that he really deserves that slot he's not entitled at all.
That really resonated well with me.... Despite the fact that he's the G.O.A.T he's not entitled at all...
So true :)
At 8:55 for anyone who is interested.
@@kostakontos Thank you for the timestamp :)

Give this man the Nobel Prize
Agreed. Eliud is an ambassador.
harry cronos agree
Yes, in this case you are absolutely right. Eliud is peerless.
You can't just give people the Nobel Prize because you like them! Like ex-President Obama who got the Nobel Peace Prize for doing...what exactly?
For what?
How could you not love him ????He's a legend
11:30 - Factors to consider to be successful. The best part of the video starts here.
1. Self Discipline
2. Preparation
3. Organization
4. Positive thinking
5. Work with other people.
6. Consistency
7. Accept and adapt to change
Great
True!
Right
True
Thanks
Kenyans let's all flock here and appreciate our hero for the 1:59 challenge. This is a big mark in the world for our country Kenya. Congratulations kipchonge!
Here with you
It’s not even about being a Kenyan but a proper human being.
Say East Africans...am from Tanzania
TWENDE TWENDE
He is European
"Only the disciplined ones are free in life. If you are undisciplined you are a slave to your emotions and your passions" Eliud Kipchoge (14:46 in the video)
disciplined in the knowledge of Christ
So true.
the scorpio man ruled his passions
Yet his passion is running! So does that mean that he is a "slave to running"?
Tuesdays Runner No because he isn't undisciplined, so he is not a slave to his passions
I met Kipchoge at a cafe in Nairobi a week after the Berlin Marathon shoe incident and he was waiting to get his US visa to go see Nike in the US about the defective shoes. Nike was in a panic and had summoned him. This man is a special human being, humble and modest to the core. I am honored to have met the only human on this earth who has run the times he has. I was utterly humbled in his presence. A truly great man with an amazing energy and presence.
yes a real hero.....The man is Kind....and Purely hard working and God Blessed with lots of strength and success.
Nice

❤️
Amazing to watch this after he has just completed the “impossible” this guy had me in tears watching today one of the most moving things i have ever experienced. Amazing person, amazing Human.
Shades Of Ali please watch 8 videos of Jim Nduruchi
What an incredible man; a fine example of excellence. So humble. Pure in heart and mind. Such eloquence, deliberate yet graceful too. I literally hung onto every word he said. A hero and legend #NoHumanIsLimited
Listening to this after Eliud Kipchoge has broken the 2 hr barrier in Vienna is so inspiring.
I am so proud to be a Kenyan because of Eliud Kipchoge, Wish you and your family all the best
i don't know why but his eyes show such focus and determination it amazes me every time
Fazle Rabbi windows to the soul. You see the intense determination........ within.
He set the world record in Berlin today. Historic and amazing.
and will beat him in few years.
l аm frоm Каzаkstаn ok
And He broke the 2 hour barrier yesterday. Historic and amazing
And today he has broken this record
He did it again, amazing!!!
When you listen to an example of an athlete like that, there is no better than examining yourself and see what I lack, until today I am missing a lot, thank you Mr. Kipchoge for all knowledge, it is a great privilege to live in the same time as you.
Thanks for what you do
This was a year ago, I shed tears. Today after 1.59.40.20 I'm helpless
This is why he is the best marathoner now. This was so thoughtful, beautiful, and highly, motivational speech!
If 2 hours is broke in my life time it will be by this man
He can do it easily, better shoes, better track, better weather, and pace makers stopping air resistance (to a degree). I say he comes across in 1:59 flat.
If you're alive tomorrow Saturday 12th October 2019, you're in.
@Marlin weekley, tomorrow is the day.
You were right he did it
There you're, @Marlin Weekley....1:59:40
Surely, how can someone dislike such an inspirational video by legend Eliud? If you feel motivated let's give this amazing guy a like.!
Well composed and a good speech. Well done Eliud , we are proud of you here in Kenya.
Shadrack Kibet That shows Kenya has a good education system.
I will watch for a second time in order to write down all the precious words and advices coming from Eliud. This speech should be a part of guide book "how to live" included in every school teaching programme.
Karol Nehring you can use the caption to help you with that
😂
He lectures the world
Who else came here to mentally prepare for the #INEOS159 Challenge?
Anyone else rewatching this after he set the WR. At Berlin. Again?!?! This guy is unbelievable whether on the roads or at the podium. So many pearls of wisdom here.
The humility in you Eliud makes me humble..Your resilience and discipline oh my,May God always uplift you and be blessed
"Plant the tree of self discipline"..... Memorable advice by the greatest long distance runner alive. I am impressed by this man's humility, while believing in himself at the same time. He never shirked his duties, like taking his turn to clean the toilets at running camp. All the best, Eliud Kipchoge.
wow ..wow..wow...What a wonderful Speech. God Bless HIm.!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Being a role model to many is a blessing.... Discipline and hardwork is equal to success
Amazing humble human being,proudly Kenyan!!
"Only the disciplined are free in life."
VERY TRUE
what does discipline has anything to do with being free in life?
@@keren7 it keeps you free from self guilt
Poweeful

I’m here after the 1:59:40 record, who else ? This man is up there with the first man on the moon . Amazing human being!!
I'm here too. He is a legend.
I'm here
Greatest marathoner ever - phenomenal man.
What an amazing human being this man is. He makes me proud to be a human
I don't think everyone understands how absolutely phenomenal this man is. Even if you don't believe he did this naturally, he still went faster than ever before on his own two feet.
drew osamu true.. The audience ain't doing justice .. He's an absolute genius
Yes, he is, and not just a brilliant runner, he’s a grand master.
NO SILLY AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY
@@seer1623 "the" grandmaster
What's unnatural about it? I don't think there is any part of the run that it wasn't him running. Pacers don't run for u. They are just company and morale. Remember it wasn't a race. He wasn't competing with anyone except the clock. Nothing unnatural at all.
Hongera Bro! Now see, you’re giving a lecture at Oxford University as a man in his own class, we all have different paths, and you brother, you have made us all proud!
best marathon runner ever, been following his career and am happy that you made it. keep running...
The intellectuals receiving doses of Eliud the Kipchoge. My goodness
Fascinating and coming from somebody who never went to college.
What an incredible humble but confident Man. Greatest runner of all time. One of the best human beings ever
I strongly believe Marathoners are the most humbled athletes.
This guy is just a fitting example.
Perhaps you are confusing "dehydration" or "fatigue" with "humbleness". But yes, long distance running can "humble" you...
@@tuesdaysrunner4038 not at all. Why would you even say that ?
It’s all the self-flaggellation, haha.
I agree, i think it has to do with the extreme patience required in running 20 miles all the time and not going too fast in the beginning. a lot less patience required in running 400m repeats for 5,000m training. The gratification also comes in smaller quantities as you can race 5,000m a lot more frequently than the marathon
No swimming is more hard working because it required whole body to swim fast
He speaks of running in local races as if it’s not big deal, but he is actually running against the best in the world there
Yeah😂😂
True
hahahah. I know. Kipchoge is a legend.
But they are running with the best ever...
This was beautiful and wonderful to listen to. You promised a beautiful London race and you delivered. Thank you, sir.
Who is here after Eliud Kipchoge in INEOS

Count me into that# !!!

Good job Eliud... discipline is a key in every aspect of life... be it financial, relationship or Academics . Discipline plays a major role in success
Oooooh my this guy is on another leval a real legend, a nice speech
I'm crying 🙏👏❤God is great he has brought you from far Eliud kipchoge ✌👊👏👏👏❤
Amazing! I'm so happy you posted this, thank you. This man is a hero to me
Humble man with a kindred spirit
true
You made it Kipchoge,we are so proud of you you all the time....we appreciate more.no man is limited is always on my mind when I see you congratulations
If Oxford can listen to Eliud We must be taking this opportunity his advice is phenomenon
Imagine giving a lecture, remembering all the races and time without reference. Boss you are wooow. Myself I can't even recall the events I went through in January this year.
Bravo kipchoge! You are a true hero. Good testimony. Life is a a complete story.
How many Kenyans 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 after inos marathon!!! Eliud you are really amazing, humbled and kind hearted!!! Much love our Kenyan brother 🥰🥰🥰
This one touched me so much
Here after the 1.59 record. What an amazing gentleman.
Thanks for the video. Very nice to get to know more about Eliud Kipchoge. Great athlete and wise man. His speech is full of beautiful teachings about life.
Eluid is the most simplest and legendary play I know, pure motivation...!!
I am learning a lot from you big brother, God bless you. Proud to be a Kenyan
Humility personified.. A WONDERFUL MAN.
A living legend. Thanks for sharing.
Self discipline he mentioned is what of his great philosophy quote "Don't lie to yourself." I think when we committed our self to do something i.e. marathon PB, we push and push until we achieved them. No simple joke.
Grit Vongnaya go and slap him because he lostw to u😂
Forget about motivational speakers. I've gotten enough motivation from this, from a man who's trully been there like Eliud than mostly any motivational speaker i've listened to in my whole life.
Kipchoge is a God given brother to the World,Kenya should be proud.
Well done, I especially like his humility.
Seems to be a theme with distance runners, Bekele, Kipketer and many others the same. Compare that to footballers...
Not sure I agree with "humility". The first part he is simply bragging about all his wins and medals...that isn't being humble to me. Perhaps you are confusing his mild speaking manner with being humble...though he does seem like a respectable human being.
With most Africans. Its the way most of us are brought up
Thats not bragging, just a statement of facts
@@tuesdaysrunner4038 not bragging but telling, it was part of the lecture.
This man is my hero, my inspiration. He is very humble and nice also smart. Thank you so much for upload this vdo.
what a beautiful man inside and out...he comes across as such a wonderful human being. Good for you Kipchoge
Beautiful heart, beautiful intelligence, hail Lord Kipchoge.
Nice
Nice
He just smashed the WR in Berlin, with an absolutely amazing performance
This MAN IS TRUE LIVING LEGEND .LOVE FROM INDIA.
He has too Good English in Him, Queens English, Kudos Eliud, We Kenyans Love you as our Hero!!
Hard work pays off. No human is limited.
I love his motivation,,he will inspired people in all walks of life,,because all he said can really apply to our daily life not only in sports but also in works and others,,he is very humble despite of the success the he have
What a humble man. He is so pure and kind.
Great talk and congratulate you for another gold medal in Tokyo 2020. I saw you run in Sapporo this morning and reminded me Abebe in1964 Tokyo Olympics. A running philosopher.
Thanks for uploading this. Fascinating to listen to.
"If humility was a person" I love you Eliud,may your territories expand!
Best marathon runner we have at the moment .We produce good runners but Eliud has been very consistent. I have run 3 marathons it is very very hard to finish them . And I aches for a week after those marathons. I thought it was easy for them .
"Only when you are discipline is when you free" the legendary himself; Eliud Kipchoge! It is a great representation of your success sir. I still believe you will break the 2hrs barrier.
Al Kip just did 🙌🏾
He did it
My ooh my, Wisdom, Humility and excellence all packed in one Human being!
a legend indeed a very humble man, this is from experience with...few months ago... congratulations for breaking Berlin marathon record
have you noticed that the students ask a question, stand while its being answered and let him answer without interruption? Thats what I call COURTESY. The Story in American institutions is exactly opposite. Anyway congrats after INEOS 1.59!!
Absolutely respectful!!! i just love the ettiquete in
This champ..Eliud just keeps getting stronger as age goes. Self discipline I can say..Tokyo Olympics again. No limits here! Great brother. 2001-2021 amazing my country man.
What a legend! The world needs more heroes like Kipchoge! More power to him.
That was very good and it was a privilege to be able to watch it. There is a lot of meat there to chew on for inspiration.
Amazing human. He set the new level of human spirit. Great inspiration.
This is the best Oxford talk of them all
This guy has come from far. and he is going far
What a champ! With much respect sir, thank you for inspiring us!
A living legend. So happy I get live at a time that I can watch his runs live
Very motivational!
I think what's even more incredible is that Oxford noticed his greatness even before he broke the record...I never heard of him till today😕
amazing piece of video!.. thanks for organizing and sharing and looking forward to see the big marathon
Asante sana Kipchoge. Wewe ni dume bwana!
Asante sana Kipchoge, i like this name
@@limanex1392 Its not his name, Asante sana means "Thank you very much" in Swaheli.
"The world is full of challenges and, we must challenge ourselves." Eliud Kipchoge
Quite insightful and inspiring. Such talks should be made mandatory for some of our schools and children.
Why do i have a feeling he recalled all his times off the top of his head.
Me too, and am wondering how??? Is it bcz all his times were great memories 👀👀👀
wahh! even me iwonder he remember his time of last 13 years
The slient after saying "I can Run Free".🥺 feel u right there brother... from a small valley.. what else do we have more?
Eliud Kipchoge is truly a legend so very humble. I think this is the greatest marathoner in our time. Did you know he runs 25-30 kms every single day. No wonder he's the greatest... Keep going Kipchoge...Best of luck in doing 2:00:00 I hope you do it sooner
He jus made it today
