Heck, we don’t even know if he’s grimacing in pain at the end of his marathons, or smiling because he has read studies claiming that a smile helps you run better.Įven the researchers most familiar with marathon physiology and Kipchoge himself can only marvel at his seemingly-ageless achievements while they enumerate some of the factors from VO2 max to muscle fibers to biomechanics that may underlie such greatness.Īs far as we know, Kipchoge trains long and hard, probably around 120 miles per week.
