Eliud Kipchoge

I’m not having any problems with my body so I don’t need to supplement. Growing older you don’t recover as fast, but all-in-all I’m doing well."

I enjoy the simplistic training and life in marathon. You run, eat, sleep, walk around - that's how life is. You don't get complicated. The moment you get complicated it distracts your mind.

To me, running is life. I run to live longer and enjoy a healthier life.

I really want to make a big mark in athletics, to be a legend and be a good example to kids.

It’s important to run clean so that you can inspire people, to give an example to the young generation."

I always tell people that this is a really simple deal: Work hard. If you work hard, follow what’s required and set your priorities right, then you can really perform without taking shortcuts. If you’re taking shortcuts, you can’t be free."

To win is not important. To be successful is not even important. How to plan and prepare is crucial. When you plan very well and prepare very well, then success can come on the way. Then winning can come on your way.

Where the marathon starts is after 30 kilometers. That’s where you feel pain everywhere in your body. The muscles are really aching, and only the most prepared and well-organized athlete is going to do well after that."

If you want to break through, your mind should be able to control your body. Your mind should be a part of your fitness.

I always say: a run in the morning is like eating a fruit a day - it chases he doctor away. It is good for your mind.

Mentality is where the success is. I will teach the kids how to think in a positive way.

Thinking positively and confidently changed my life. If you stay consistent and work hard, you can be successful for a long time.
