...a good little documentary on Eliud Kipchogeโ€™s sub 2-hour marathon! And yes, I will admit I cried a little bit again when he crossed the finish line ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Available on iPlayer for 26 more days; full title Eliud Kipchoge: My Sub Two-Hour Marathon.

He has to be one of the loveliest people in running, too.

Enjoy!

Time only matters if you are trying to break a world record! Just getting out and running is a win for me. ๐Ÿ˜

Yes, thatโ€™s true. Getting out running is the best therapy you can get๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

If I was 30 years younger though his record would definitely be at risk! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Just watched this, I'd never have found it without your recommendation. Fascinating and good to see he seems a very grounded genuine person.
