In a presser led by Coach Bennett, a beloved coach in the NIKE Running Club program, Eliud told the assembled media and fans that he is ready for this next phase of his career. A marathon zen warrior (so named by Paula Radcliffe, former marathon world record holder, 2:15:25, 2003), Eliud Kipchoge has had a long career spanning cross-country, track and field, and the marathon.
