CONDITION Spotlight on “Prepared”: Eliud Kipchoge Materials Clip: Vienna, Austria course for the INEOS 1:59 Challenge Clip: Preparation in Kaptagat for Challenge (please start at 12:40; run time is 5:17) Introduction A marathon is a race 26.2 miles long, and Eliud Kipchoge, a 34-year-old runner from Kenya, has won 12 of the 13 marathons he’s raced in. This number of wins includes 8 world marathon major race titles and the 2016 Rio Olympics marathon title. In 2017, Kipchoge was part of a 3-person team to run an unofficial marathon at a Formula 1 racetrack in Italy, complete with a crew of 30 pacers and a pace car. What was the goal of the Monza project? To break the 2-hour time frame for 26.2 miles. While the other 2 runners were unable to maintain the pace required, Kipchoge finished the race in 2 hours… and 25 seconds. When Kipchoge won the 2018 Berlin marathon, averaging a pace of 4:38 for the 26-plus miles, he also set a new world record for this event, coming in at 2 hours, 1 minute, and 39 seconds. He eclipsed the previous world record by a stunning 1 minute, 18 seconds. He followed up this win with a victory in the 2019 London marathon, clocking a 2:02:37, the second- fastest marathon time in the world. Days after this event, he announced his goal to break the 2-hour barrier in October of 2019. Preparation for the INEOS 1:59 Challenge Kipchoge has been training for months to prepare for the run planned for Vienna, Austria, in a time window starting October 12th. Here’s a link that describes the course. At his training camp in Kaptagat, he’s known as “The Boss.” But he takes his turn cleaning toilets. He’s known for his discipline as well as his humility. One training partner described him this way: “When it’s time to train, Eliud’s always ready to train. When it’s time to sleep, he’s sleeping.” Kipchoge has logged between 124 to 140 miles per week as he readies for the October attempt. Here’s a clip demonstrating some of his preparation. You’ll hear commentary from his coach and from another member of his planning team. What do your students notice about Kipchoge’s work to prepare for this challenge?

Wheelchair Elite Field
Wheelchair Elite Field Invited Wheelchair Athletes（Men） Invited Wheelchair Athletes （Women） Elite Wheelchair Athletes（Men） Elite Wheelchair Athletes(Women ） 28 Jan. 2020 updated Tokyo Marathon Foundation Wheelchair Athletes Tokyo Marathon Wheelchair Race Director Masazumi Soejima This year is a special year where the Olympic and Paralympic Games take place once in every four year, and as for Tokyo Marathon, it is the first AbbottWMM race kicking-off for 2020. Taking in consideration that the Paralympic marathon (Sep. 6) course will be overlapping partially with the Tokyo Marathon course, it is an opportunity for athletes to gain pre-race simulation, and I hope that everyone will enjoy the race as it will be a race like no other. To add greater excitement, we have implemented 3 different schemes for this year. Since the course change from 2017, the Tokyo Marathon has become fast-pace race and has brought new course record for the elite runners. But that has not been the same for the wheelchair race and has not led to better record. Because the Tokyo Marathon course is flat for the most part, there are very little opportunity for the athletes to make a move. As a result, looking back in the past races, the athletes have the tendency to maintain in pack until the last 1km of the stone-paved road in Marunouchi Naka- Dori Ave., where it then become a sprint race in the last 200m. Perhaps the reason why we have not been able to produce fast race record is because game change happens only at the finish, lacking game shift throughout the course.

Eliud Kipchoge and the Transcendent Power of Sports
Eliud Kipchoge and the Transcendent Power of Sports By Dancan Muhindi Once every few decades comes a sports hero, a legend, who transforms and ignites their discipline far beyond its traditional boundaries to inspire millions of people who would otherwise have little interest in that sport. In football, we had the remarkable Edson Arantes do Nascimento, also known as Pele, and the mercurial Diego Maradona. In boxing, we had the poetic Muhammad Ali and the rage of “Iron” Mike Tyson. In basketball, we had the versatile Michael Jordan. In athletics, we had the exciting sprinter Usain Bolt. In golf, the resilient Tiger Woods. In tennis, the dominant sisters Venus and Serena Williams. In the marathon, we now have the philosophical Eliud Kipchoge. 12th October 2019. The time is 8am, the temperature is 9 degrees centigrade at the Reichsbrücke (German for Imperial Bridge) in Vienna, Austria. Eliud and seven members of his elite team of pacemakers jog up and down a 50-meter stretch behind the starting point of the INEOS 1:59 Challenge Race on the gentle slope of the bridge. To their left, the 119-year old St. Francis of Assisi Church can barely be seen through the mist lifting slowly from Europe’s second-longest river, the Danube. Hundreds of excited fans make their way through the grey chilly morning to the bridge. Thousands more line up the race route on both sides of the iconic Hauptallee in the Prater park, known to local runners as “the green lung of Vienna” due to the fresh air from the trees along the 4.3 km straight avenue.
