WORKOUT: Eliud Kipchoge Track Session 5 x (2K + 1K) In Kenya

[@Self-Duality]

I’ve long pondered this but honestly can’t conclude otherwise: Eliud has the most elegant, effortless marathon form of all time.

[@GabrielSomething-l9s]

It just doesnt feel right . How can he run so perfectly ? It is Beautiful . His body was meant to this .

[@molder2233]

Indeed, perfect running form. I sort of feel the same about Jakob Ingebrigtsen over the middle distances, just an effortless quality while generating tremendous speed.

[@Self-Duality]

@@molder2233 Agreed!

[@tyresejackson9665]

He definitely makes it look good. However I think Paul Chelimo has the most elegant running form. I think many people would agree with me. Paul is certainly not Kipchoge, but he definitely has better form.

[@Self-Duality]

@@tyresejackson9665 Track form, yes!

[@finneas_0710]

The GOAT is so focused in every traning. His ability to stay in the zone is incredible.

Kipchoge runs so effortlessly and elegant

[@BLUV_]

Pushing the envelope!! I tried this recovery method and hit a new PR matching the pace 2:45s-3:15s 10 x 1km Needless to say... Loving the content!!!

[@lordaries5498]

Coach Sang needs to advice Augustine Choge to pace himself in marathons. He has not finished one in a long time and he's wasting his career. Maybe try & run the half, 25ks and build that stamina.

[@deanevans3968]

I was thinking that. You'd think he could run 2:06 considering who he trains with and his PBs.

[@lordaries5498]

@@deanevans3968 I've seen him run with the lead pack and blow up on numerous occasions. Maybe he needs to change coaching. I don't know what's happening there. I think he can run 2:05 with pacing and the right mindset.

[@deanevans3968]

@lordaries5498 definitely, I remember watching the NN marathon and the commentators saying they're surprised he went with the second group considering his record. The must've been 2 or 3 years now. And he showed at Boston he still hasn't learnt

[@lordaries5498]

@@deanevans3968 sadly he's yet to learn. I think training with Kipchoge gives some of them the illusion that they're in that 2:01/02 shape. Pacing will save his career. He just needs to lower his standards and race wisely. By now he'd have ran a 2:05 maybe 2:04 but...... Oh well.

Lovely! Thanks for this insight!

Is there Wilson Kipsang in the video??

How is it possible that they run so effortlessly at 2:50/km? How? What the fuck?

[@benutzer6957]

hard work

[@janekaze]

What kipchoge did he eat in the morning?

[@sebastianrosaslesvaldez4442]

is that aregawi in the back near later reps of the Ks?

[@Kfitz6]

No

[@brianmitchell8811]

Wait, so is one set of the workout run 2k, then sprint 1K, then rest (walk 100m, then jog 100m = 1:40)? This is done 5 times?

[@brianmitchell8811]

Nvm, I looked at another video from 2018 which explains it. The 2k pace is 5:50 and the 1k pace is 2:50, then rest.

[@brianmitchell8811]

The estimated 2k split is incorrect in the video.

[@brianmitchell8811]

That was confusing me 😂

[@miller10]

@@brianmitchell8811the 2k split is actually the pace (2:52/km so ~ 5:44 for 2km)

[@brianmitchell8811]

@@miller10 why would the 2k split and the 1K split be the same? That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me. If the splits/pace is the same for each km why are the 2k and 1k separate? Why not just say 5x 3k? In the 2018 video I saw, the Coach specifically says “slow, then fast”.
