    #83: Kipchoge’s Top Running Tips for Athletes of All Levels
    There is no greater runner and ambassador for the sport of running than Eliud Kipchoge. We discuss Kipchoge's routines, top running tips and advice for athletes of all levels to improve.      This episode is not available in podcast format, and can only be found on my YouTube channel in video format.     The reason is that this episode is subtitled for clarity and also includes lots of visuals, photos, videos, screenshots.      

    CLICK HERE TO WATCH THIS FULL CONVERSATION: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fktx7qLbXDc 

     

    This conversation was recorded in Tokyo, after we both ran the Tokyo Marathon. We dive deeper into Kipchoge’s philosophies, routines and advice for non-elite athletes to improve.

    I am really excited about this conversation and we covered several topics I haven’t heard him talk about in other interviews. 

    This was my 3rd time meeting with Eliud. I’ve put together a 30 page PDF with a summary from both conversations, lessons, takeaways, favorite quotes and a full transcript. This E-book can be downloaded for free at Extramilest.com/kipchoge

     

    I can’t wait to hear your thoughts about this conversation in the comments HERE on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fktx7qLbXDc
