Eliud Kipchoge to make London Marathon return after 'demoralising' Olympics When Eliud Kipchoge stepped off last summer’s Olympic marathon course with a sore back, the greatest of all time was declared yesterday’s man.
So he is building up to London with the tunnel vision that has brought world records, medals at four Olympics and 11 major marathon wins throughout more than two decades at the top.
But five years on from his most recent appearance at the London Marathon, Kipchoge, 40, will return in April preparing to win again.
Kipchoge admits “a lot was running through my mind” after Paris and it felt “demoralising” to not finish an event he won in Rio and Tokyo.
He is knuckling down to his familiar schedule - 130-mile weeks across 13 sessions, only Sunday afternoons off - and that workload certainly jars with the idea of a man considering retirement.
