C/p
To understand what just happened, Eliud Kipchoge has run an equivalent of 105 laps on an athletics track at an average speed of below 70 seconds per lap. To understand the insanity try run just ONE lap.

BBI will solve it :)

3 things. Your body is built for running and then you train like this in Kaptagat.



That place is so high and air so thin. You will find yourself panting just by walking.

And then proper technique. This guy does not waste energy:

15 years ago nobody even knew his name. Listen to the commentators on this video. Until the final lap they do not even acknowledge that he exists because Bekele and ElGerouj were the big names at the time.

His reputation among fellow athletes is that he is the hardest working athlete any of them have ever trained with. Despite being the most successful in his camp he still does the duties of fetching water and cleaning the toilets just like everybody else.
