The Greatness of Kipchoge Over the 42 Kilometre Distance (A Brief Summary) Kipchoge went undefeated in the marathon race from 2014 to 2019 by winning in Chicago, 4 times in London (the only person to have won 4 times in London), 3 times in Berlin, and winning Olympic gold medal in 2016. His first loss, since 2014, came in 2020 when he claimed to have had a problem with his ear during the race. But since then he has not been defeated again, and just became the 3rd person in history to defend the Olympics gold medal over the 42k distance last year in Japan; other marathoners (one from Ethiopia and the other one from Germany) achieved this feat in 1960s/1970s/1980s. In his last Olympics marathon race (2021 in Japan), he defeated the second person by 1 min and 20 secs, a winning margin never witnessed again in Olympics since 1972. Kipchoge also broke the marathon world record in 2018 in Berlin by improving the world record time by 1 minute and 18 secs, a margin of world record time improvement never witnessed since 1967. To make it even more interesting, he defeated the second athlete by over 4 minutes that day. Out of his 18 marathon races, he has won 16 of them (he lost one in 2013 where he was second to Kipsang who broke the world record of that time). He currently owns the course record of London marathon, Berlin, Tokyo (set this year) and Hamburg Marathon. This level of dominance has never been witnessed in the history of marathon running. This is a long distance characterized by injuries; anything can go wrong in the middle of the race, but Kipchoge just wins. I don't want to mention the Ineos Challenge of 1:59 because it's highly criticized (though I always think he should get the credit because even if other runners are given those shoes and pacers, they will struggle to go under 2 hrs- ask yourself why did Zersenay Tadese of Eritria and Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia fail to get close to the 2hr mark after being given the shoes, pacers and electric cars in Breaking2 project back in 2017 (same conditions as of those Ineos Challenge in 2019); in that race, Zersenay Tadese ran 2:06:51 while Desisa ran 2:14:10. Kipchoge, who also participated in that project, came very close to the sub 2 hr mark as he ran 2:00:25. When you look at his overall performance over this distance, this guy is just a master of marathon. And to add on top how he makes running look easy with his beautiful economic form; his running is always deceptive as it appears effortless. Plus his humility; he doesn't boast about his successes over this distance. But besides having a high level of endurance, I always think his mental strength is something to admire; in 2015 Berlin marathon, the insoles of his shoes slipped out just after 1 kilometre and kept flapping around his ankles (though people noticed at around 20 kilometre), and instead of Kipchoge stopping to fix the shoes, he kept going. He won the race but finished with blisters on his feet; he was bleeding as he ran. When asked why didn't he stop, he said "... I had to focus and finish the race."
