LRC Post-Berlin Podcast With Eliud Kipchoge
Kipchoge says he'll race a spring marathon before the Olympics because 11-months is too long to go without a marathon. He also talks about being coached by former steeplechase World medalist Patrick Sang.

A podiatrist and former Asics consultant said that there would need to be a lot of "heal slippage" and "in-shoe movement" for it to happen. Another kinesiologist hypothesized it could have to do with Kipchoge's powerful forefoot-striking motion he has as a former track runner.

Kipchoge: "I tested the shoe, I tested many pairs of Nike. I think this shoe is the best shoe ever. The shoe is good. The sole was not glued. I used the same pair in Kenya and it was good."
