Eliud Kipchoge

“Running is a way of life. I wake up each day with a purpose.”

“No human is limited.”

“Only the disciplined ones in life are free. If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your moods and your passions.”

“I don't know where the limits are, but I would like to go there.”

“If you don't rule your mind, your mind will rule you.”

“The best time to plant a tree was twenty-five years ago. The second-best time to plant a tree is today.”

“In training, you listen to your body. In competition, you tell your body to shut up.”

“I am always trying to improve. That is what keeps me motivated.”

“The marathon is not about running — it is about having a goal and finishing what you started.”

“I learned that it isn't the time that matters, it is the performance.”

“I am always running toward something, and away from nothing.”
