Eliud Kipchoge Situation

[@dusterinoman]

Being a GOAT is someone who changed the game, held it like no other one did, became an inspiration, a solid competition that made other strive more, and someone who is not perfect and shows vulnerability. Kipchoge is my distance running GOAT!!

Re taking part in the Olympic marathon at an advanced age, look up Jack Foster from New Zealand who only took up running at the age of 32 yet represented his country in two Olympic Games, finishing 17th at age 44 at Montreal in 1976.

[@TotalRunningProductions]

Wow. Never knew about him. That’s impressive

[@veganpotterthevegan]

​@@TotalRunningProductions of course you didn't.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

Definitely impressive, although he was a very good cyclist before he took up running. I'd say Rebecca Romero is more impressive as a Olympic medalist rower becoming an Olympic gold medalist in cycling. She started when she was around 25 which is obviously still pretty young but she was national champion in a year and an Olympic gold medalist 2 years after that.

[@thedailystride5407]

I believe Kipchoge will set the master’s world record MULTIPLE TIMES. Imagine he actually goes out around 1:02 through the half marathon. He then can negative split and go 2:03:30 or so. Man’s a legend

@graniterunner5129 100k is a different animal. That said, top marathon runners don't typically bother with those obscure distances and I think it's a good thing that they're mostly for amateurs with day jobs.

[@graniterunner5129]

@@veganpotterthevegan yes of course...you are right

[@qigong1001]

Yes he is older, but he also had the burden of running his last race while dealing with security issues and threats to his family. At that age, I can imagine it's more important to keep the head clear, as it easily destroys one's performance. But how can anyone block that out of their mind while competing. Hopefully, these sick people just disappear and leave him alone, so he can just can focus on racing his last few races. Let him be.

it requires so much mental strength to be able to push 204s for Kipchoge. whether he goes for it or not his presence has been extraordinary. he doesn't need to put much pressure on himself to do that. he needs to find joy in his pursuit.

[@justalarvitar3411]

I still think even with the DNF , Kipchoge is STILL the goat. He proved to us that even the greats don’t have everything fall perfectly in place. This truly showed his class and admirable character, and really made me look up to him more and more. His humanity doesn’t limit who he is as my GOAT 🎊 🐐

[@georgeabraham5672]

I feel while Kipchoge is the GOAT of marathons Bekele is the GOAT of long distance running

[@Kipchoge475]

That is an indisputable fact

[@JM-hh7kg]

Kilian Jornet is better at long distances (UTMB record holder).

[@djboriqua1274]

100% agree!!! Head to Head 3000m 3-1 Bekele (neither are in the all time top 10) 5000m 8-2 Bekele (WR for 16yrs until 2020) Bekele has 2 all time top 10 Kipchoge 0 10000m 1-0 Bekele (WR for 15 yrs until 2020) Bekele has 4 all time top 10 Kipchoge 0 Marathon 4-1 Kipchoge (WR for 5 yrs until 2023) Kipchoge has 4 all time top 10 including 11 major wins Bekele has 1 top 10 all time including 2 major wins World X Country Championships: Bekele has 11 Kipchoge has 1 in the jr division Olympic & World Championships wins: Bekele: 8 (6 10000m & 2 5000m) Kipchoge: 3 (2 marathons & 1 5000m) By far Bekele is the long distance Goat and without any doubt Kipchoge is the marathon Goat...

It's a completely different sport and likely wouldn't do great.

[@koopaporodies4498]

Honestly, I know this is out there but, I think Kipchoge would have a solid shot at the 50k Road record set by CJ Albertson. I know the marathon and a 50k are two different animals but with Kipchoge’s insane endurance, speed, mental resolve and ability to just push when nobody else is could lead to a new record if he attempted the distance. Like I said I know it’s a bold claim but it’s just my personal opinion.

[@mote3124]

You do know that the only thing he'd have to do is run 8k at Recovery pace after a marathon and that record is in the bag.

my wife ran Berlin when EK broke the world record also the following year when Bekele won. we were staying ar the Adlon Kempiinski just short of the Brandenburg Tor and finish. I never screamed nor applauded so loudly as an ex 2:44 at the age of 40, one who ran in the rain, snow, heat, cold, early AM and sometimes late PM I have an inkling of what it takes to be a marathoner, let alone a world class runner. My heartfelt congrats to both of these wonderful inspirational men who will hopefully continue to give the running world smiles and pride

Maybe he starts stepping up to some ultra distances, like a road 50k or road 50 miler. Older marathoners seem to do well continuing to step up their distances when they can.

[@alvarojrgalo926]

It's amazing how many big races kipchoge and Bekele have won Bekele s 2.04 is incredible hope Kipchoge can challenge it

[@lekcindr]

Really enjoyed this video. Did not realize Bekele ran a 2:04:19 marathon 10 MONTHS AGO! That's crazy. Kipchoge's abs (3:01) and running form (1:19) What was that headband (3:13) My hope is that we'll see one more surge in the marathon career of Eliud. Maybe one, maybe two, but I think he still has some 2:01 type times in him (if not bumping up against Kiptum's time). What I am most excited about in Kipchoge's running future though is that he has said when his marathon career is over, he wants to move to the ultra marathon distance. I believe I've seen or read him saying that on two occasions but the specific niche of ultra was not mentioned.

[@ChrisDerFreak]

It's a cooling headband from omius, super expensive. Some high tech stuff that's supposed to cool you down, it was worn a lot during the olympic marathon in Paris due to the heat. It is kind of common for pro triathletes, likely will be worn a lot for example in the ironman world championship in Kona

[@Medabg88]

Yeah, bekele is goat for sure if you count everything. He is part of the reason why kipchoge went to marathon distance as his primary discipline. Im not saying he would have been better marathoner than kipchoge if he made marathon his main discipline, but alltogether, he certainly edges him as the goat. Both are transcendent athletes, no doubt

[@timw4369]

[@juquendo]

I honestly think it was an Olympic year and he ran somewhat injured last season. I believe he heals and makes a beast come back. In his top form there are only two previous champions in their primes that can challenge him. Bekele and (RIP) Kiptum.

[@adyton]

I think it is time to see Kipchoge running in Ultra Marathons or trail races. Nowadays everyone is there and these kind of competitions are becoming more and more popular each day. I would like to see him compete with Killian Jornette, for example; or Jim Walmsley. How about in UTMB courses? Competitional running should not be limited to road races for elite runners, I believe.

[@cronikvialo5463]

Trail running is a different animal. It requires specific adaptations, you need a long time to let your body adapt. First you have to adapt to the irregularity of the terrain, you must have strong ankles and good lateral stability, but also the massive hills and downhills that uses different muscles and running technique And i haven't even started on the ultra running aspect, it's not comparable to a marathon, it's 10x longer, muscle endurance and nutrition becomes a critical factor, your body also need to learn to get used to that. It's also a different kind of mental strenght Specificity is key, and at 39 i dont think Kipchoge have enough time to learn these new skills, especially for him who is fragile to hills and weather

[@adyton]

@@cronikvialo5463 With respect, I don't totally agree with you. I have watched many training videos of Kipchoge in Kaplagat, Kenya. They run in groups so many long runs in forest paths, over hills etc. similar to trail running. And these runners all have background in cross country. Although I agree with you that road racing is different than ultra marathons and trail races, I think they will adapt the needs not in a long time.

[@tamp4x]

[@AL_1547]

I still think he may try to snag wins at Boston and NYC to close out the majors. Picking up a win at Boston in 2025 would seem a lot more tempting than winning an alternate field event at Hamburg.

[@rashon420]

I’d love to see him move to the trails, just to see how road fitness would translate to the more technical trails. Could he compete with some of the trail goats or even set new records? Or are the two sports too different?

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

The temptation for Boston I suspect will still be there, and New York. He may want to show he can win on the hills there, and make up for the hill failure in Paris. We'll see. If not that, he may want to bid farewell in London and/or Berlin. He won't want to go out as he did in Paris. Good luck Eliud!

[@billhayward1585]

Why do fighters always want one more fight! Kipchoge should retire gracefully instead of crashing and burning. I had a very hard time quiting running. BUT after a while I was so glad I did. There was so much more to do. Sorry to be a Bummer.
