Eliud Kipchoge has once again spoken about his setback at the Paris Olympic Games and why he will continue running despite recent struggles.
Former world marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge has one more time detailed his Paris Olympics setback and revealed the major reason why he will not quit running just yet.
In many of his interviews, he termed the Olympic marathon as his worst owing to the fact that he failed to finish the race for the first time since he started running years ago.
The five-time Berlin Marathon champion explained that he could not prevent the unfortunate from happening and was forced to live with that and eventually overcome the struggle.
After months of keeping her fans guessing, Shericka Jackson has shared a reassurance post, looking all glammed up and healthy.
In an interview with China Daily, Kipchoge revealed that he took a short break after the setback and resumed training ahead of his next major assignment which might be next year. However, he did not give a hint at where his next race might be.
Kipchoge added that he has a goal to motivate runners from all over the world, the reason behind his zeal to keep training and working hard despite the few struggles in his recent days.
He has struggled to win race since 2023, finishing sixth at the Boston Marathon and in 2024, he finished 10th in Tokyo before pulling out of the Paris Olympics marathon at about the 30km mark.

Allyson Felix has revealed the emotional turmoil of winning silver in the 2008 Olympics, feeling devastated and letting others down.
“There are things you can’t prevent, what has happened has happened. One way (to deal with things) is to convince my mind to move on and try to fulfill what has been on my bucket list,” Eliud Kipchoge said.
“The inspiration that I am still into, the general humanity in this world, is what motivates me to wake up early every morning and go for a run. I aim to shift the mindset of the running community, to show it that we are not limited neither in our minds, nor in our pain, nor physically.”
In his recent visit to China, the four-time London Marathon champion insisted that his main aim is always to help the runners, both recreational and professional, to never give up their dreams.
“I trust that, if I don’t get to meet the Chinese runners, then they will follow me on social media to know that we have been in China, to know what I’ve been doing here and my philosophies. And I trust what I’m doing will actually help them,” he said.
