马拉松传奇人物乔哥解甲归田

乔哥退役了，这个一次又一次打破世界记录的跑者，这个让不受关注的长跑运动变得家喻户晓的人，要退役了。他说够了就是够了，他要去种地当农民了。真的是解甲归田，悠然见南山的意思吗？

他最吸睛的一个记录是在两小时内完成了一个马拉松比赛，可惜这是一个非正式比赛。

按他的名声，我很好奇地查了一下他的身价，居然只有区区3百万美金，这与他的盛名太不相符了。 他是无可争议的跑界GOAT(最伟大的跑步运动员），他的身价和他的决定让人肃然起敬，陶渊明在千年之后出了一个肯尼亚的知音和传承者！

他是跑界里公认的GOAT! Salut! 没有乔哥的跑界从此寂寞江湖！

Eliud Kipchoge: You know, I always say your mind is king. If you are able to control your mind, then you will be able to control your body. So mind and the body are going hand in hand. You should try to convince your mind – let us try to push.

EK: “If I don’t go, what will happen?’ Life must go on. So, I just press on. Life is about trying to actually press on every day. Life is about challenging your mind. You need to challenge your mind when you're at your toughest moments.” 

EK: You know, running is like life. Life is full of challenges. It’s the same in running. There are a lot of challenges – training, feeling tired, injury – you know, not hitting the targets in training, not hitting the targets in racing. But all in all, it's not the end of anything.

Consistency is the key. If you miss today, you wake up tomorrow. If you have a rest this month and or do not hit the goal you set, don't fall down. Wake up, move on every day and next month you will achieve it. It’s those small things that will become a big thing. It's about pressing on every day. If you do not achieve a goal, collect yourself, begin training again, set another goal, or set the same goal and persist and you will achieve it.

EK: Not going beyond 80% is about enjoying runs and not putting all the effort in every day, which can make my muscles and my body tired. The only time I can push to 100% is race day. Being on 80% is the only way you can spare the energy both mentally and physically, and save that energy for the future. And you know, when you run under 80% in a comfortable way, it will be easy for you to transfer that to 100% at the right time.

在迄今为止世界上排名最靠前的10名马拉松纪录里，他占了四席！他以前是以5000米主打的，拿了一堆奖牌之后转跑马拉松长距离，成为跑界传奇。
