Enjoyed this piece with one of Kipchoge's pacemakers from Ineos 1:59. Think it's a really important lesson for all those who aren't necessarily winning the top races to think about what exactly is it they're chasing and why.
Left me feeling pretty pumped.
Nice article. Thanks for sharing.
Three of Kipchoge's sub-2 pacers have been popped for doping. This NN running team press release about Chumo, of course, doesn't mention anything about PEDs. Similarly, did the press agent writing the piece use a translator for this interview of Chumo? Definitely possible but not mentioned. It would have been good if the press release had provided some information.
Chumo speaks very good English perhaps better than all the other Kenyan athletes. He is an ex-soldier in the Kenya Defence forces/Kenya army.He left the army to focus on athletics.What do you think needed to be asked by a translator that he didn't respond to or couldn't have been asked by the original interviewer ?

There are two official languages in Kenya. English is the most important.
Press release - not an article wrote:

Only one of them was actually a part of Kipchoge’s training camp. Unless you want to think if Erik Sowinski/Mouner Akbache got popped that Jakob would deserve to be smeared. Also many Kenyans speak English quite well including Kipchoge, yet you expect them to tell you something like “this interview was not done through a translator”. Bizarre to assume it was.

Let's not forget that two of Sang's athletes got popped - if Ingebrigtsen or Salazar or Schumacher had two athletes banned for doping, wouldn't you suspect Jakob or Mo or Grant?
