Eliud Kipchoge celebrates after crossing the finish line at the end of his attempt to bust the mythical two-hour barrier for the marathon, on Saturday. [AFP]When Eliud Kipchoge posted an impressive 1:59.40 at the Ineos Challenge last Saturday, the world was dazed. But Kipchoge wishes everyone would just let him sneak quietly back home – without fanfare and get on with his simple life. Unlike many other Kenyan stars, Kipchoge brushes aside big parties that include slaughtering of bulls. Kipchoge was set to celebrate alongside his team, family and training mates at the Global Communications camp in Kaptagat.
