The person who is best at running on the earth

In the field of track and field, two records are the most noticeable.

One is the shortest one hundred meters. It represents the speed of the human body when running. In the 2009 Berlin Track and Field World Championships, Jamaica's famous Johson Bolt set this record at 9 seconds 58.

Another record is the longest marathon, which represents the ultimate ability of human body when running. On September 25, 2022, Berlin Marathon, Kenyan athlete Erude Kipjog Ge After finishing the game, the world record that was originally maintained by himself was shortened for 30 seconds.

In the past ten years, Kipjog has won the two Olympic championship, won the marathon championship of 10 Grand Slam level, set a marathon world record, and also broke through human beings in a challenge of "experimental environment". Limit -became the only athlete to run the marathon for two hours.

No one will deny his Goatst of All Time status, and no one denys that he is the greatest runner in history, and even some people call him "the omnipotent legend of human species."

Today, after the birth of the latest human marathon world record, we don't want to repeat the greatness of Kipjogge over and over again. We just want to tell you why the person who is best at running on the planet is him?

Gene and environment

In 1984, Kipjog was born in a traditional Karen Jin family in Nandi County, western Kenya. He is the smallest of the four children. His mother is a rigorous kindergarten teacher, and he only sees the premature father from the photos.

The village where he lives is not far away. It is Erdog. This village has walked out of the world -class long -distance running championship of more than 40 Karen Gold. It is the "Hometown of Champions". - In the sports world, this is also known as "Kenya Miracle."

For a long time in the past, many European and American scholars have tried to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of genes and biology. Some scholars believe that Karen's slender lower limbs and narrow and thin trunk will help them "energy saving". Compared with other athletes, their energy consumption can be reduced by 8%for each kilometer.

Some people will trace the past of Kenyans, especially the Karen Golders. Living in Kenya, known as wildlife, the Karenkin tribe is particularly good at hunting. In the process of catching up with animals, they improved their ability to run. The life that needs to fight with animals all day has also made Karen Golders particularly better, which has further enhanced their spiritual attributes in the competitive movement.

In addition, the geographical environment also profoundly affects the performance of these athletes.

The documentary "Born for Running, Kenya's Secret" mentioned that living in a plateau at an altitude of 2,500 meters, which is also the advantage of Kenya long -distance runners. Training in high altitude regions can increase the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the athletes, and the oxygen intake of the human body will also increase. When the athletes return to the plains to run, the oxygen has a stronger intrating capacity and can complete higher -quality breathing activities. Therefore, they will also have greater competitive advantages -this is also a training method for many athletes to try to improve their results , "Train High, Compete Low (training at high altitude, at low altitude)."

In addition to altitude, Erdogrete also has the natural conditions for the long -distance running championship. Here, people can overlook East Africa Great Rift Valley without obstacles. Red sand, forests, and grasslands replace asphalt and cement in the city, becoming the best track.

The daytime temperatures here remain around 24 ° C, the air is fresh, and there is almost no pollution. The natural and soft red soil can not only provide athletes with excellent shock absorption, avoid injuries, but also exercise the calf power of the athletes.

Without artificial treatment and natural uneven red earth, it also allows athletes to pay full attention to the training and pay attention to avoiding it at any time. Therefore, athletes from here usually have a flexible and stable ankle.

These all constitute the foundation of Kipjog's call for historical runners, but this is not all.

"The most beautiful running posture in history"

It must be acknowledged that as a long -distance runner, Kipjog has a perfect physical condition.

A sports science paper from the University of Birmingham pointed out that top marathon athletes are often short, which will improve the running efficiency of athletes and reduce the probability of injury. At the same time, the short body can also help athletes to stabilize their body temperature, which is especially important in long -distance running.

Kipjog's is 5 feet 6 inches (about 167cm) and weighs about 115 pounds (52kg). It has a standard physique on an anatomical sketch. The BMI index is maintained at 19 all year round, and there is almost no excess fat in the whole body. "New York Times" Sports commentator Scott Karjera said: This is the peak of cardiovascular function.

And he also has the most powerful capabilities -according to the data that Kipjog's testing for Kipjog, the lactic acid content produced by his muscles is extremely low -in the process of long -distance running, the runner Oxygen is required, so it will continue to produce lactic acid, which is also the main factor that athletes become tired.

The lactic acid threshold is an important indicator to evaluate the aerobic capacity of athletes. The higher the lactic acid threshold, the less lactic acid produced under the same exercise intensity, and the better the corresponding exercise performance. The lactic acid threshold of ordinary people is around 60%, and according to scientists, the top marathon athletes like Kipjog can reach 90%. This allows Kipjog to repairs himself in time during exercise, and at the same time, his sensitivity to tiredness will also be reduced. In addition, Kipjog also has a running posture known as "the most beautiful in history."

First of all, in the process of running, his feet landed first, which would help him kick the ground more efficiently and maintain relatively high steps, which is slightly higher than 180 steps per minute. Second The knee is always bent, so that when his feet start to undergo pressure, you can get enough buffer. At the same time, his entire body is always slightly flexed and lean forward. Hip.

It is very rare. It is also the most important point. When running, Kipjog's head and torso always remain on a straight line, and the shoulders are not shaking, which means that he is controlling the core of the abdomen with appropriate strength — In the 42.195 kilometers of the marathon, from the ranging of the shot gun to the end point, he could almost maintain a completely consistent running posture, which requires a high spiritual concentration and strong self -control.

"(His) body is particularly compact, and there is no extra movement in running." This is the evaluation of Kipjog's running posture. In this regard, the evaluation of the International Field Chairman Sebastinke is: "(He) has a perfect posture, and his running action is almost perfect ... he almost floats."

As for that picture, Sebastinke described: "When his feet step on the ground, it is like a dream."

Key decision

Kipjog can be the god of marathon, one factor is very important -he originally practiced 5000 meters project, and when he encountered a bottleneck in his grades, he chose the transfer marathon in time, as if a person stands at the subtle fate of the fork intersection. And he finally chose the correct way.

Behind this choice is a coach who has worked with him for 20 years, and the unconditional trust between teachers and apprentices.

In 1992, the 7 -year -old Kipjogger and friends in the village sat around a black and white TV watch the men's 3000 -meter competition. Patrick Sang from Kenya finally won a silver medal. Ten years later, Kipjog found Patrick Sang and hoped to follow him to practice running and participate in the competition.

At that time, Patrick asked Kipjog's full name, and then was surprised to find that his mother turned out to be the teacher of his kindergarten. At that time, Kipjogg, the poor family, never wore a watch, and Patrick gave him his Timex watch. Since then, the cooperation of this pair of teachers and apprentices has continued to the present.

When talking about the differences between Kipjog and other children, Patrick emphasized a little -trust. In the initial cooperation, he would arrange a week's training plan to allow children to go back to practice by themselves. Many children would ask why, or to increase or decrease without authorization. Only Kipjog will strictly implement, never bargain, and never ask questions.

Kipjog and Patrick Tuyuan Network

Under the leadership of Patrick, Kipjog won in a long -distance running game. At the age of 18, he won the 5,000 -meter championship of the men's World Championships. Later, he successively won the bronze and silver medals of the same project in the Athens Olympics and the Beijing Olympics. Essence But in the 5000 -meter competition, he could not break through the bottleneck to become the best one. Until 2012, he only won the seventh place in the London Olympic Games trials and did not have the opportunity to represent Kenya. This is a catastrophic moment for Kipjog, who has trained ten years long -distance running. At this time, Patrick made his own suggestion -why not try the marathon?

In the Half Marathon in 2012, Kipjog's first debut and won the third place. The 2013 Burger Marathon was the first marathon competition in Kipjog's participation. He won the first marathon champion medal with a score of 2 hours, 05 minutes and 30 seconds.

In fact, Kipjog and Patrick had divergent in the choice of the first show of the marathon. Kipjog also received an invitation from the London Marathon Organizing Committee. He even wanted to participate in a greater famous London Marathon, but Patrick hoped that Kipjogge would put the location of the first horse in Hamburg, Germany -attention, participating in the competition, participating in the competition The level is far less than the London Marathon.

The two masters and apprentices talked for two hours in the room. "Marathon is a new field for you, and you have to learn a lot." Patrick told Kipjog. In London, he can only get a good ranking at most, and in Hamburg, he has absolute strength to win the champion -the first horse to win the championship, which is more significant for Kipjogg, who has just been transferred.

After weighing, Kipjog obeyed the coach's suggestion. Since then, he has completely entrusted his career to Patrick without reservation.

According to Patrick's memories, Kipjog has not asked him about training about training for 20 years. "He comes to training field training. We will give him the plan of the day at a specific moment. He will do it according to our plan. He has never asked for a year of planning, a week's plan, a month of planning, and one month of planning. No. "In 2018, Kipjog wrote a letter called" To You Young ". In the letter, he wrote: "Patrick will be far more than a coach for you. He will become your spiritual mentor, your life coach, and a father -like character. Pick the champion of the world competition and Olympic, and set a world record, reaching a height that you are completely unknown when you are young. "

Fortune and patience

There were fans who said Kipjoger was a "brutal" runner. In response, Kipjog himself expressed her readily acceptable acceptance.

At a place with an altitude of more than 2,500 meters above sea level, Patrick Sang established Kaptagat, which is also considered the world's largest long -distance runner hotbed.

In 2002, when Kipjog first came to the camp, there was even no tap water here. Daily water also needed athletes to take water from nearby wells. It was not until five or six years ago that there were tap water and solar panel heating.

But here, Kipjog was trained for nearly 20 years. Over the past 20 years, his daily life is almost fixed: getting up before 5 am every morning, and starting at 5:50. Within a week, he and other campers will conduct a long-distance running (30-40 kilometers) of the competition. Lake training (speed training on the track). Under such a plan, every week, his running volume exceeds 200 kilometers.

Such training life day after day. "I always tell people that this is a very simple transaction: work hard." Kipjog said, "If you work hard, follow the requirements and set priority to correctly, then you can truly do not take shortcuts. If you choose to take a shortcut, you can't get real freedom. "

In many online discussion areas, fans and passers -by are also amazed: "Why does Kipjog run so much and can still protect their knees?" In this regard, the team's physicist Mark Roy said, "Kipjo The grid will use a lot of time to restore the body. "

This is also Kipjog's sports philosophy -behind the "brutal" training, it is extremely patient body recovery and cherishment of his sports life.

In fact, there has always been a problem between the marathon fans: "If Kipjogg participated in some competitions, would he win more championships?" Since 2013, Kipjog has been running from 5000 meters long -distance running. Athletes transform the marathon athletes. His frequency is that he can't beat 2 games a year. The interval between each two games is 4-6 months. He never greedy and never rush to refresh the record.

Leave sufficient recovery and preparation time, which is one of the reasons why Kipjog rarely injured.

self-discipline

"Only the disclied in life are free." The same is true of Kipjog.

In his 20 -year career, he has always maintained a fixed schedule and strict diet plan. Even when social media pervasive, he has always maintained a distance from mobile phones and networks.

On August 8 last year, Kipjog won the championship in the Tokyo Olympic Marathon. According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, in the afternoon of the same day, the winners and their coaching teams needed to fly from Sapporo to Tokyo to win the prize in order to participate in the closing ceremony that night.

Affected by the epidemic, after arriving in Tokyo, the athlete team stayed at the airport for a long time. At that time, more than a dozen people were nesting in the same room, and most people were paralyzed and played with their mobile phones, except Kipjog. He shrank silently in the sofa alone, and occasionally speaking with the people around him, he never touched his mobile phone throughout the process. Later, the bronze medalist Bagill Abdi shared this scene to Twitter, and ridiculed: "(Kipjiger) he is not human."

Prior to this, in October 2019, in Vienna, he completed an epoch -making attempt in human history in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds, and became the first athlete to bring the marathon to two hours. This experiment was called the "159 Challenge".

After the schedule, all participants such as the leader and agent of the running held a large -scale celebration banquet. Kipjog issued a trophy to the 41 runner. At the banquet, everyone was very excited, and the wine was very happy, only Kipjog's wine was not stained. After talking to them, he returned to the hotel alone and fell asleep before ten o'clock as usual.

Later, a reporter asked about the matter, and Kipjog replied calmly: "At the moment of the end of the end line, the celebration is over."

humble

What kind of person is Kipjog? If you take this question to ask his friends, coaches, and paceers around him, almost everyone will mention a word: humility. "He doesn't have to imitate this, it is naturally emitted from his heart, and it is all the fundamentals of him to do things." Coach Patrick said. Ambi Beros, who had won the 1968 Boston Marathon champion, still remembers one thing to this day. In 2005, Beros and his wife followed a small group of American long -distance runners to visit the training camp of East Africa Great Rift Valley and Kipjogger. Essence Berosh's wife is an enthusiastic jogger who wants to try to conduct a jogging training at the camp, but because he is unfamiliar with the venue and never tried such a high altitude running, Berosh asked everyone if anyone was willing to be at low speeds at low speeds. Accompany. Kipjog raised his hand and stepped forward, with a relaxed smile on his face. At that time, Kipjog was already a 5000 -meter World Championships and the third place in the Olympic Games.

After the shot rang, the others went away, but Kipjog was accompanied by the Beroster couple along the way. This incident impressed Burphon. In their opinion, many running elites did not have the quality of patience, unwillingness, and no publicity.

On the marathon, Kipjog is a world champion that has won the gold medal. From 2013 to 2019, he participated in a total of 12 formal marathon competitions, and he won the gold medal 11 times. He is also the holder of the Marathon World Records and broke through the human body's limits in a test match -in two hours in two hours -in two hours The 42.195 kilometers of marathon schedule was completed.

But all this failed to change him.

Back in the training camp, Kipjog still did not have a little shelf, and respectfully respect every teammate. They all watched basketball games and F1 competitions together, and the relationship was hot. Athletes who went to training camps came and went, always changing, Kipjog will treasure every friendship: "Friendship is related to life, and life is another journey. This is the moment I will create history, and they will also become part of history. "

Each year in the training camp, a "leader" is voted from 30 players to make some key decisions. Kipjog could be elected almost every year, but as soon as he encountered a problem, he discussed with the players. Patrick teased him, "He is not like a leader at all, and he will not use privileges."

"I don't want to be attractive in the crowd. I want to integrate into everyone, no matter what the education level of this group is high or low. I want to interact freely with everyone." Kipjog said.

Minimalist life

As the king of the marathon, Kipjog lived the simplest and most monotonous life. In many media reports, outside of the competition, he is a ascetic monk.

"To succeed in sports, no high -profile residence is required," Kipjog. In the training camp, he and his teammates shared a double room, and the walls of the room were almost bare. At his bed, only a family of five photos, and a word from Brazilian writer Paul Comeli: "If you want to succeed, you must follow a rule: never lie to yourself."

He was trained on time as other runners, wiped his shoes, cleaned the toilet, and pulled his slippers to return to the narrow single -person bed to check the training manual. All his daily necessities can be filled with a pink plastic basket. His daily meals are also very simple: homemade bread, local fruits and vegetables, a lot of Kenya tea, some beef, and his favorite food -Ugali, a thick corn porridge, as for other supplements, as for other supplements, He didn't eat it.

When he wanted to relax, he returned to the farm at home with bananas and vegetables there, feeding rabbits, chickens, ducks, and cows. In 2019, after he won the London Marathon, a fan sent him a cow. After that, he won the game every year, and a new cow was sent to his farm.

The local pet shop owner remembers that every month, Kipjog will personally ride a motorcycle to buy animal feed in the store. He likes to feed these animals in person and watch them eat.

Seeing the growth process of the animals, Kipjog will be particularly happy. He said, "Especially after training -you go to see the animals, you will feel relaxed, and you can refresh your mind."

As the most powerful and richest marathon in the world, Kipjog's life creed is extremely simple.

In the training camp, Kipjog brushed his shoes himself.

family

Last weekend, Kipjog once again refreshed the marathon world record in Berlin, his wife Grace Sagart told the media very happily that in order to pray that her husband could get a miraculous performance in the Berlin Marathon, she deliberately deliberately. After fasting for a week.

In life, Grace Sagart and three children are the important spiritual pillars of Kipjog.

In media reports, Grace fell in love with Kipjogg when he was 19 years old. They are classmates and neighbors, Grace's brother is also Kipjog's iron buddy. One year after falling in love, the two held a wedding in the traditional way of Karen Jin and ushered in three children. Now their eldest daughter Linden is 15 years old. "From elementary school to high school, I have been studying with Kipjog. I am his wife and has always been his supporter in his career. When he leaves, I will take care of my children and farms." Kipjog's home is only 25 kilometers away from the training camp, but only Sundays every Sunday every week, Kipjog will go home. "He ran around in the house with the children, watched the F1 car race together, and went to the church to pray." This is the few gatherings that Grace can enjoy.

At the important moment in Kipjog's life, Grace is his most important sharing. But sometimes this sharing is subject to conservative tradition.

In 2019, after the "159 Challenge" Kipjog successfully broke the second point, Grace first rushed to hug with her husband. —— Because the family's traditional ritual and religion stipulates that in public, the wife cannot embrace her husband.

His wife Grace Sagart rushed forward to hug him.

"Last Mile Smile"

In each game of Kipjog, people will try to capture a classic moment- "Last Mile Smile". On the game, every time the most painful and most difficult time, Kipjog's face There will be a smile.

In September 2015, Kipjog participated in the Berlin Marathon for the second time. When he ran to 5 kilometers, his left -footed insole slipped outside the shoes. For marathon athletes, this is a hit of disaster, which will make his feet gradually grind the blisters during the running process, and the discomfort and pain will continue to affect the athlete's status of the athletes.

However, with this overflowing insole, Kipjog took the lead in completing a 10 -kilometer score with a score of 29 minutes and 19 seconds, 5 seconds in advance from the 10 -kilometer world record at the time. But after that, the insole of the right foot slipped out. Kipjog did not stop, and did not slow down, but continued to move forward at a constant speed.

At the end of the end, Kipjog's "last mile smile". In the end, he rushed the finish line first, and ran out of the best personal results at the time. The price was that his two feet had grinded large and small blisters. A lot of blood.

As for why he smiled in the most painful and difficult last mile in the game, Kipjog said that this is a strong psychological suggestion, "I know there are 300 muscles on the face, and some of them connect the brain nerves. When you show a happy expression, your head will receive your happy information, and you won't hurt with your body. So I like to run the last mile with a smile. "

2015 Berlin Marathon

Technology and limit

In the field of track and field, there are two records of great attention. One is the shortest 100 meters. It represents the speed of the human body when running. This record fixed this record in 9 seconds 58. Another record is the marathon, which represents the ultimate ability of human body when running. In 2018, Berlin Marathon, Kipjog set this record at 2 hours 01 minutes and 39 seconds.

Can humans really complete the marathon within two hours? After complex calculations, scientists have concluded that the first person who can run the marathon within two hours appears in 2075. Even in the most perfect game, not many people believe that some people can really break through the two -hour pass -that is the human body limit and it is difficult to surpass.

To break through this limit, Kipjog made two attempts.

The first time in 2017, Kipjog ran 2 hours 00 minutes and 25 seconds in the 2017 Monza track test match. After running, Kipjog said, "World distance We only have 25 seconds. "

Subsequently, he and the team prepared for another two years -this precise preparation process was also the perfect cooperation between competitive sports and contemporary technology.

Based on the results of the previous competition, the Ineos team behind Kipjog conducted a scientific analysis -his best exercise status was that the humidity was less than 80%, and the temperature remained at about 7 ° C to 14 ° C. At the beginning of the game, the temperature of 9 ° C and the wind speed of 0.5-1.5 meters per second are extremely ideal external conditions.

To this end, the British science team chose the place of the second challenge at a avenue of Vienna Prate Park. It is only one time zone from Kipjog's Capita Gat in Kenya. The problem of time difference, temperature and humidity are also ideal.

At the same time, in order to allow Kipjog's foot to get enough support and balance, through scientific calculations, his team created a 10 -degree rotation angle with asphalt at the road turning. Pucheng's saving 3 seconds, add up to 12 seconds, which is essential for his physical strength.

Robin in the team also studied a running formation with the smallest wind resistance with his assistant. They used the fluid mechanics module to analyze with the computer model, made the mini model of runners, put them in the wind tunnel, and tested them with different formation. In the end, they concluded that the pace needs to put up the "Y" shape to form a barrier to cover the wind on the four sides for Kipjogg. There is also a pace to run in front of Kipjog's "Breaking Wind" in front of Kipjog. Under such a formation, Kipjog's position will be almost windless -in this In the space, he only needs to withstand 1/6 of the tension in the past.

Nike also designed the latest version of ZOOMX Vaporfly running shoes for Kipjog. The weight of the shoes was 15 grams lighter than before, but the sole became thicker. Pressure on asphalt pavement.

On October 12, 2019, Purate Park in Vienna, human challenges on their own physical limits officially started.

On the streets of Vienna on the day, 120,000 people gathered, of which at least 50,000 were specially convened to cheer Kipjog — too few onlookers on both sides of the road, and they were considered to be Kipjiger's first first One of the key reasons for the failure of the second "break".

During the competition, Kipjog's agent Valentin rode a bicycle to send him a supply product to accurately control the supply he had taken in the competition, and his nutritionist was responsible for measuring his supply intake. During the running, Kipjog threw the water bottle he drank to the side of the road, and the front line staff immediately picked it up and gave it to the nutritionist. Nutritionists will learn how much supply he has took through a weight.

In the end, Kipjog, who was about to be 35, successfully broke the two with a score of 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. Human beings ran for 2 hours in the men's marathon project for the first time.

However, because this challenge is not a formal game, and the entire schedule is too perfect, this result has not been recognized by the International Field Federation, and there are many pureists who advocate that they only rely on manpower to run. Major breakthrough.

In Kipjogg's view, completing this challenge does not want to advertise himself. He made more demonstrations to prove to many athletes and next generation of young runners that humans will eventually meet the existing rules one day. Running for 2 hours in the case, as he always believed in, "humans have no limit." And his ultimate purpose is to "encourage everyone and make more people fall in love with marathon."

Kipjog is the first person to run the marathon for two hours

Love

In the end, Kipjog's "Breaking Er" was filmed as a documentary, named "The Last Milestone".

In the entire video record, a group cannot be ignored. In the challenge of the second two, 41 -drawing speed officers accompanied Kipjog to complete the challenge. These paceers are also called "rabbits". They followed Kipjog's side in turn, posing a "y" shape to form a man -made barrier and cover the wind on all sides. Before the challenge started, Kipjog expressed his gratitude to all the paceers. He said sincerely: "Thank you for taking the time to help me complete this lofty challenge and create history. This is not about competition, and there is no competition, and it is not about competition. Anything else has nothing to do with it. This is related to creating history and changing the way of human thinking. This is like climbing the moon and returning to the earth. Let us go to the moon together and then return to the earth to celebrate. "

On the day of the "Rabbit Group" team, there were 15 Kenya, 7 U.S. citizens, and 6 Uganda players, as well as a passenger from Australia, Norway, Ethiopia, and a Japanese. Among them, the oldest person is 44 years old and has participated in the Olympic Games 5 times. The youngest is just 18 years old and 1 day.

When the fire was made, they ran with Kipjog. At that moment, running was just a movement that made them indulge in it, without money and no sound. A young American paceer said, "Running is the most natural movement in the world. When you walk on the big school, you will start to run. This is the most charming place in this sport. You can even run barefooted barefoot. You don't need anything else. "

This is also the strongest motivation to support countless runners -love.

In Kipjog's teenager, running was a choice, a possibility of changing life.

After graduating from junior high school, his first job was to collect milk from the locals, and then sold it to towns 20 kilometers away. Each liter can earn a Kenya puzzle (0.67 pence). He saved five months of money before buying the first pair of running shoes.

In Kipjog's view, the reason why Kenya can dominate the track and field is because the athletes regard the exercise as their own profession, a profession that can make money and get three meals and food, and it is by no means to choose to run for interest. " Most of our athletes come from a poor family. You must struggle and must be strong. "

But time made him understand what was the source of the source of his running. His description is very vivid: "In the journey of life, accompanied by ups and downs, orgasm and trough, there are too many challenges in the marathon, injuries during training, pain in running, and sending when they complete the marathon. From the inner happiness, everyone firmly believes that their ability in the body is life. "Marathon is life."

Last year, in the Tokyo Olympic Games, the champion of Kipjog's defending marathon project became the third men's marathon in Olympic history. At the closing ceremony, standing on the podium, the 37 -year -old Kipjog's tears have been turning, this scene moves many audiences from all over the world. Going down the podium, Kipjog talked about his own wishes: "I hope to be remembered as a person who is inspired and changed to this sport. I hope that all families in the world will run As a lifestyle. "

The day before yesterday, Kipjog, who had shortened the marathon world record in Berlin at the age of 38, talked about myself: "My legs and my body still feel very young, but the most important thing is that I am The mind also makes people feel fresh and young. "

Subsequently, he announced on his social platform that he would participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. By then, he will be 40 years old. From now on, everyone is looking forward to the early day.

On the Kenya Plateau, Kipjog was still running.
