For a man whose humility is as legendary as his athletic prowess, it is almost ironic that Eliud Kipchoge cannot outrun the limelight. Fresh from being crowned the first human to ever run the marathon distance under two hours, it is interesting how the star slunk back home with pint-size applause. To put the matter into context, picture Kipchoge being flown to the globally broadcasted event held in Vienna, Austria aboard billionaire Sir Jim’s luxurious Gulfstream G280.
