Imaginary Discussion: Eliud Kipchoge and Mo Farah Talk About Running and Life
Mo Farah: Eliud, my friend! It’s always a pleasure catching up with you. How have you been? The last time I checked, you were breaking another record. Do you ever stop?
Eliud Kipchoge: (laughs) Mo, it’s great to hear from you! You know me; running is in my blood. But seriously, it’s not just about the records. It’s about pushing the limits of what we think is possible. How about you? Still making those 10,000 meters look easy?
Mo Farah: Easy? Come on, Eliud! Nothing’s ever easy in this sport, but I love every second of it. Speaking of pushing limits, tell me about your sub-2 hour marathon in Vienna. How did it feel to make history like that?
Eliud Kipchoge: It was surreal, Mo. To be honest, I felt a mix of emotions—joy, relief, and an incredible sense of accomplishment. But you know, it wasn’t just me. It was a team effort, from the pacemakers to the scientists. It was like we all broke that barrier together.
Mo Farah: That’s what I’m talking about! Teamwork in an individual sport. You’ve always been a master at that. By the way, what keeps you motivated day in, day out? There has to be something special behind your relentless drive.
Eliud Kipchoge: For me, it’s about inspiring others. If I can show someone that they can achieve the unthinkable, then I’ve done my job. Also, my family and my coach play massive roles in keeping me grounded and focused. How do you stay motivated, Mo?
Mo Farah: For me, it’s my kids. Every time I lace up my shoes, I think about setting a good example for them. Plus, the thrill of competition still fuels me. I’ve got to ask, how do you manage to balance training, family, and everything else?
Eliud Kipchoge: It’s all about routine and discipline. I wake up early, train, and then make time for my family. They know how important running is to me, but they also know they’re my first priority. What about you? Balancing your racing, charity work, and family must be a challenge!
Mo Farah: Oh, it definitely is! But I wouldn’t change it for the world. Each part of my life gives me different kinds of satisfaction. Speaking of satisfaction, are there any races or goals you still dream about?
Eliud Kipchoge: The Olympics always hold a special place in my heart. Winning gold is a feeling like no other. One more Olympic gold would be the cherry on top. And you? Any unfinished business on the track?
Mo Farah: There’s always something to chase, my friend. Maybe another shot at the marathon? Who knows? The journey never truly ends. It’s funny, we’ve done so much, yet there’s always another horizon to explore.
Eliud Kipchoge: Absolutely, Mo. Here’s to future races, new records, and limitless possibilities. Cheers to the journey ahead!
Mo Farah: Cheers, Eliud. Let’s keep inspiring and pushing those boundaries.
