Things don't just happen. They are made to happen. And that clearly captures Eliud Kipchoge's preparation ahead of well-heeled big city marathons.
Kipchoge's preparations have always involved a delicate balance of brain and brawn. From his humble background of transporting milk to Kenya Co-operative Creameries (KCC) using a bicycle at his rural home in Kapsisiywa village in Nandi County to his unrivalled reading culture; Kipchoge has no doubt developed a masterclass manual of marathon running.
Sunday, he proved it all - slapping a new marathon world record of 2:01.09 at the Berlin Marathon.
