An Engaging Chat with Hellen Obiri and Eliud Kipchoge
Hellen Obiri: Hey Eliud! It’s always a pleasure to catch up with you. How’ve you been?
Eliud Kipchoge: Hi Hellen! I’ve been great, just the usual training and prepping for the next marathon. How about you? Have you been racing or enjoying a bit of downtime?
Hellen Obiri: A mix of both, I’d say. I just came back from the New York City Marathon. It was an incredible experience, though quite different from the track events I’m used to.
Eliud Kipchoge: Ah, the thrill of transitioning from track to road! How was the shift for you? The marathon is a whole different beast.
Hellen Obiri: It’s definitely challenging, but I enjoy pushing myself to new limits. The crowds were amazing and kept pushing me forward. I have to say, though, the mental aspect was tough. How do you keep such intense focus during your races?
Eliud Kipchoge: For me, it all comes down to discipline and mindset. I always say, ‘No human is limited.’ Believing in my training and keeping a positive outlook, even when it gets tough, is key. Plus, the support from the fans is a massive boost.
Hellen Obiri: I agree, the mantra is powerful. Speaking of mantras, do you have any specific routines or superstitions before a big race?
Eliud Kipchoge: I keep it pretty straightforward. A good night’s sleep, a light meal, and some quiet reflection. What about you? Any pre-race rituals that keep you grounded?
Hellen Obiri: I like to listen to some uplifting music and visualize the race. It calms my nerves and gets me in the zone. Plus, a good dose of Kenyan tea never hurts!
Eliud Kipchoge: Kenyan tea! Now that’s the secret fuel. Speaking of which, how do you manage your nutrition with all the traveling?
Hellen Obiri: It’s a balancing act, for sure. I try to stick to familiar foods that I know my body responds well to. When abroad, I keep it simple with fruits, veggies, and lean proteins. And of course, hydration is key!
Eliud Kipchoge: Absolutely. Staying hydrated is crucial. So, what’s next for you? More marathons, or back to dominating the track?
Hellen Obiri: I’m exploring more road races for now. The marathon bug has bitten me! But who knows, maybe I’ll mix it up with some track events too. Versatility keeps the journey exciting.
Eliud Kipchoge: That sounds like a solid plan. Keep enjoying the journey, Hellen. Your passion and dedication are inspiring to many.
Hellen Obiri: Thanks, Eliud! Right back at you. Here’s to more races, records, and plenty of Kenyan tea!
Eliud Kipchoge: Cheers to that!
