Eliud Kipchoge

By ben, year six

Hello guys,I thought I would share some facts on my

sporting hero - Eliud Kipchoge.

The Kenyan is my sporting hero because he managed

to run a marathon in under 2 hours which I think is an

amazing sporting feat. He also came first in the London

marathon, ahead of Mo farah.

From this extraordinary man we can lots of lessons from.

He has emphasised the saying "practice makes perfect"

and it is true. Imagine how many hours of practice he put in for

his runs.he has also taught us that if you have good people

around you you can go far.

Kipchoge has also demonstrated many of the Meadlands values.

He has achieved motivation by surely encouraging younger people to follow in his footsteps. He has dreamed big and achieved big. And, to top this off, he has completed two

huge challenges.

Here are some fun facts on the Kenyan. He is one of

four children and has won 12 of the 13 marathons he he has entered! he is also born on the 5th of November ( bombfire night) and has writes in a notebook whenever he completes a workout. He now has 15, one for every year he has been on the world stage.
