  • 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

    Get 10% off your first order of Precision Fuel and Hydration. I’ve been using their PF30 energy gels for about 18 months, with and without caffeine. I use them for all of my races and longer training runs, including for Tokyo and London. The PF 30 gel is the most efficient way to get 30g of carbohydrate / 120 calories into your system fast. Their gels have a very mild, neutral taste, something I like to reduce flavour fatigue during longer efforts.

    The texture is pretty thin, so you can take them without fluids, away from aid stations. Get 10% off your first order of any precision fuel and hydration products with code EXTRAMILEST24 at https://www.precisionhydration.com/
