In March, LetsRun.com spent much of a day with Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge in Kenya, seven weeks before he attempts this weekend be the first human to run under two hours for the marathon distance.

LetsRun.com saw Kipchoge do a trackworkout at 6:15 am in Eldoret, Kenya. The workout was 5 sets of 2k, 1k with 200m walk/jog between reps and sets. Jonathan Gault writes about the workout in great detail here.

Sometimes however, a picture is worth a thousand words and below we have video of much of the workout. Beautiful and simple running from Kipchoge in Kenya:

Check out Part II where we traveled to Kipchoge’s training base in Kaptagat, and toured the Global Sports Communication camp and discussed Kipchoge’s career and why he’s part of Nike’s sub-2:00 project, Breaking2.

Note: LetsRun.com was able to observe this workout as part of the IAAF’s Day in the Life program. The IAAF worked with Kipchoge’s management agency, Global Sports Communication, to make Kipchoge available and the IAAF arranged and paid for LetsRun.com’s Weldon Johnson’s travel within in Kenya.
