It is for this reason that Kipchoge prefers soothing music and his playlist includes some surprising choices.
Eliud Kipchoge has shared a glimpse of the conversations he had with Manchester United players during his visit to Old Trafford.
“I am a big, big fan of Kelly Clarkson,” Kipchoge said in an interview with
“I listen to all the music of Kelly Clarkson. The first song goes, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. That’s what gets me running. I still push on and push on, because I have discovered that running cannot kill me – it makes me stronger.”
Besides Clarkson’s hit Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You), Kipchoge, who is an ambassador for leading electronics brand also enjoys tunes from country music legend Kenny Rogers, with his 1979 hit Coward of the County, being his favourite.
Kipchoge has reflected on his career and next step in an insightful rapid fire Q & A segment.
“I’ve been motivated more because I can listen to the music which motivates me. That’s the only way in which I can run fast. I can finish the run in a happy way, you know – and at the end of the day, you really feel that you are energetic.”
The marathon legend has numerous accolades on his CV as besides winning 15 marathons, 11 he is also the first man to run a marathon under two hours during his that was executed under controlled conditions in October 2019.
Kipchoge has, however, seen his powers wane in the last one year, finishing sixth at the 2023 Boston marathon before recovering to win in Berlin, but 2024 has been more difficult with a 10th place finish in Tokyo after which he dropped out of the race at the at the 31km mark.
The marathon great was at Manchester United’s Old Trafford to witness the Premier League clash against Liverpool but saw his visit end on a sour note.
