Also in the project with Kipchoge is Zersenay Tadese, the world half-marathon world record holder from Eritrea, and Ethiopian Lelisa Desisa, a two-time Boston Marathon champion. Joining him is Augustine Choge, the latest marathon running convert, and more athletes emerging one by one from the darkness. Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge lifts makeshift weights at Global Sports Training Camp in Elgeyo-Marakwet. It is partly from this that Nike has developed a prototype shoe, which will spearhead the mission to break the marathon record. It is an exciting project for Kipchoge who says that even if he breaks the world record, that “won’t be the finishing point” of his career yet.
