Eliud Kipchoge left a fan in a awe when the two met as the marathon legend was doing his morning run.

A fan has captured a memorable moment with five-time Berlin Marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge.

Dmytro Moyseyev, an ultra endurance athlete who currently reside in Kenya, captured the wholesome moment on his phone.

In the video captioned, "You just landed in Eldoret and the first thing you see is Eliud Kipchoge on his moring run," Moyseyev spotted the two-time Olympics champion and could not hide his joy.

The endurance athlete filled with excitement, sped past Kipchoge in a van to alight in front of him where he could get to greet him.

Moyseyev got out of the van to be met with a fist bump from a grinning Kipchoge and captured the wholesome moment.

"How are you?" Asks Kipchoge in the video as he glides past him with a broad smile.

"Very good. What am I to say. Trip let's go!" Responds Moyseyev excitedly.

The video has since garnered nearly 1 million views on Instagram, melting the hearts of many.

"Meeting the GOAT himself, Eliud Kipchoge on his morning run. What a wonderful way to start a trip," shared the Moyseyev.

The video comes on the back of Kipchoge's resumption to training after the dissapointment in Paris Olympics where the decorated athlete did not finish the race.
