Eliud Kipchoge has become instrumental in designing Nike’s long-distance running shoes, providing feedback and helping develop models like the Zoom Fly 6, shaping innovations based on his training and racing experience.
He already has five titles from Berlin, four from the London and one title from the Tokyo which he won in 2022 but upon his return this season, he could only manage a 10th-place finish.
Eliud Kipchoge also claimed top honours at the 2014 Chicago Marathon and raced at the 2023 Boston Marathon where he finished sixth.
“A lot is in front of me. I still want to become fit and run some... few marathons. I'm concentrating purely on coming back to my normal fitness,” Kipchoge said.
“Even if I don’t do [it] when I'm still active, I will go one day and jog and run for a course, or for something which can promote humanity in New York and get a Six Star medal.”
