A person I admire !!

ELLIUD KIPCHOGE

The person I admire the most is Elliud Kipchoge. He is a Kenyan long-distance runner who competes in the marathon and formerly specialized in the 5000 metres. Regarded as one of the greatest marathon runners of all time, he is the 2016 and 2020 Olympic marathon champion, and was the world record holder in the marathon from 2018 to 2023, with a time of 2:01:09 set at the 2022 Berlin Marathon.

Firstly, He is someone who always trains and never gives up. I was inspired by him to train harder and not give up easily. He is also friendly person who is not arrogant with anyone. He also shared various long-distance running tips such as how to increase stamina, how to breath while running and more.

Moreover, he has influenced many people to participate in long-distance running events like half marathon and full marathon. He also challenges anyone to break his world record in marathon. Because of this, many marathon runners feel challenged and train hard to break his record.

Due to that reason, I always train by jogging 5 km everyday to increase my stamina and pace every morning. Besides, I have achieved various achievements in long-distance running events such as cross-country at school.
