Eliud Kipchoge: Daily Routine

No tech, no supplements, no fuss — just quiet mornings, twice-a-day training, and a deep love of the grind.

Regarded by many as the greatest marathon runners in history, Eliud Kipchoge will tell you that his success over the years has come from the simplicity he has ingrained in his lifestyle.

There’s no state-of-the-art technology or nutrition secrets powering him on those 5,000 metres runs; it’s just that he’s cut out most things in his life to focus solely on being the best marathon runner he can be.

I don’t have extra money to actually make my mind go haywire. I am a human being and I stay as a human being. Money stays away. I’m not working with money; money is in the bank. I want to live a simple life.

Born in Kapsisiywa, Nandi County, in Kenya, the legendary marathon runner was unwittingly training for his future career when he was still a young boy running to and from school every day. In addition to that, he would also help out his family by going on 40km round bike trips to collect and sell milk from farmers.
