I’ve been running 7 days a week for the past 23 years, and am up to 62 full marathons. I relate to Eliud so much with all of these things. Especially his philosophy. I’m not naturally suited to be a runner genetically. Probably better for me to be a wrestler or football player. But I don’t care. I like running, and always want to do it anyway, and keep improving. I also believe that nothing is impossible if you just keep trying and set your mind to it. I’ve been trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon now for all 23 years I’ve been running, and still haven’t gotten it. But I absolutely will eventually. I’ve come within just 3 minutes of it a few times. And when I do it will be even more meaningful than ever. There are times that I just wish that I had the raw talent that some elites have. But then some of these thing likely would be as special when I achieve them. So I just keep going. 🏃🏻‍♂️

'Running is where the freedom is!' I think many runners will somehow understand this. When u run, it's a feeling u can't put into words & which u become addicted to. I personally have found solutions to some of my problems while doing my morning runs. U just get into this personal zone

He is simply so humble and you can't hate him and his super human ability
