M.Talks — Eliud Kipchoge
“I'd like to put it this way — Maurten is a game changer in sport." Episode 2 of our M.Talks series presents Eliud Kipchoge. With captivating eloquence, the world’s fastest marathon runner explains the importance of getting fueling right — before reaching the start line and after crossing it.
M.Talks is unscripted — it's real. It's personal. It's where the world's greatest athletes take the mic and open up on how they fuel — day in, day out — in their own words. No holds barred.
“For a recreational runner, I would explain that the body needs fuel to move for a long time. If recreational runners want to run city marathons, or even ultra marathons, or even go up the mountain — then they need to have Maurten in their pockets.”
“If one person actually wants to break the four hour barrier in a marathon, and if they decide to put more fuel in the body — then the performance will be high. Because the more you drink, the more you perform. The more you drink, the more energy is coming out of your body. The more you drink, the more you feel comfortable.”
“What I do in training, is what I do in the race. I am practicing fueling at home.”
