But you will discover that his main principles are easily applicable whatever your level. You may know the adage that you have to run slowly to run faster. Well, Eliud Kipchoge applies it. The fastest marathon runner in history runs even slower than I thought. I suggest you discover three basics of his training and a truly surprising statistic. Eliud Kipchoge needs no introduction. Double Olympic marathon champion, world record holder and the first man to have run the marathon in less than 2 hours. Stratospheric performances! Several reports and articles have dissected his training and his preparation for his races and marathon. We know his training program. But everyone focused on his speed and training volume… forgetting one detail. Compared to his speed capabilities, Kipchoge ultimately runs quite slowly most of the time.

My name is Bertrand Soulier. A few years ago I was a big depressed hamster weighing 105 kilos. Stuck between my sofa and my office chair, I didn't imagine that sport would change my life. I started a dietary rebalancing with my wife. I started running again, I started trail running before treating myself to a marathon for my 42nd birthday. Now I'm pursuing my dream of becoming a professional athlete in my own way, world champion of my world. I document my quest with my podcast, this YouTube channel and my Instagram account. I offer you my vision of running without complexes of a runner starting running at 40 and who adopts a new sporting lifestyle. I will never win a race but I have won the most beautiful victory. And I take you with me to help you live this adventure too. Twitter: / bertrandsoulier My blog: https://bertrandsoulier.com Instagram: / bertrandsoulier Find me on Strava: / strava #kipchoge #running
