There’s Only ONE Option | Eliud Kipchoge Exclusive Interview

In this episode, we're joined by NN Running Team’s very own Eliud Kipchoge, a world-renowned marathon runner whose discipline and dedication have shattered boundaries and redefined success in long-distance running. Eliud is the first person to ever run a marathon in under 2 hours, and has won almost every marathon he has ever competed in, breaking the world record multiple times.
As well as discussing the Paris Olympics 2024 and the 2024 Tokyo Marathon, he shares his journey of absolute motivation, pushing through pain, and the importance of a mindset focused on overcoming boundaries. His insights provide a unique perspective on not just athletics, but on life's marathon itself.

[@michaelcaricoo]

Really enjoyed this, thank you for doing the interview. I could listen to Mr Kipchoge talk for hours about running

[@NelleBligh333]

This was a lot deeper and more thought-provoking than I expected. Great interview.

Thank you for this interview! Elucid is the Goat of the marathon today!

[@jimhurst6168]

As far as pain and suffering is concerned you need to recognize the source of the suffering, some is good and others are warning.

Anniversaries and birthdays- lets plant trees 🌳 ❤

legend

[@RedSeaChallenger]

Great interview, thanks! Listened to while running. Always encouraging hearing Eliud on a run. Wish him all the best for Paris.
Love he isn’t DNF’ing on bad days, some other kind of vitamin-n.
Wishing you a great run 😅 Give it a go.

[@theloafpod]

Thanks for your comment! Do you think Eliud can grab gold in Paris?

[@RedSeaChallenger]

​@@theloafpodYes, expecting a tight competition. If it all comes to this, it's gonna take a perfect (cloudy?) day. Can't wait to see who's on the final roster. Would've loved seeing him competing against Kiptum. Anyway, a great race ist coming up.

[@andremello1631]

Thanks for the interview. Great class!

[@theloafpod]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CJVLOGS-fw4fz]

Just subscribed ! I’m from the US wish you guys the best ! Eliud was the one who inspired me to run

[@theloafpod]

Hey! It's awesome to hear Eliud inspired you in that way! Thanks for the sub and stay tuned :)

[@oreMIlano3870]

Legend!

[@theloafpod]

We agree!

[@amohkelly4522]

Kenyan legend 💪💪💪 l

[@Suchethatgmail]

I think the interview could have been better. Lot of the stuff is already available on the internet. Was there a question about his fav bread or did I mishear that ?

[@theloafpod]

Hey, thanks for your feedback! What would you have asked Eliud given the chance? 🍞

[@ashleyjohn4309]

I enjoyed the interview but a question on Kelvin Kiptum would have been very relevant.

[@TheDrokon]

I've never learned a single useful piece of running advice from Kipchoge. It's always inspirational stuff, like "be disciplined", "learn to say no", yada yada. I respect the hell out of him as an athlete though.

[@kevinleepredom8386]

Thanks can some one fund the Kenyan wheelchair marathon group . 🎉

[@willbilson7210]

The blacked out room is not cool haha

[@theloafpod]

Do you prefer the background of Ollie, our other host? Deciding on our podcast backgrounds has been quite a debate here at LOAF.

[@jamesromano3288]

He is done....💩💩💩
