This Saturday morning at Viena Eliud Kipchoge the Marathon legend achieved something which is the first time in human history. He completed the mission impossible and become the first man in the earth to complete the 42 km marathon in a record time 1hr 59 min and 40 sec.
Hs is an Olympic gold medalist from Kenya and has multiple gold medals in the different marathon event. But this time he pushes all the limits and takes the challenge to complete the 42 km distance less than 2 hours. That means he runs for more than 21 Km/hr consistently for around 2 hours. This is some superhuman thing.
According to him “it’s the mind, not the legs” which pushes him to achieve this impossible. He proved that if you are determined and hardworking then you can achieve the impossible.
This is something amazing I have watched this morning and thought of sharing with you all. Let just appreciate his effort and congratulate him.
Please share your thoughts about this, Thanks for readings.
