Didn’t know he was running this weekend. Was with this guy last sato in a restaurant in Eldy and he was with his family. We were the only families there coz of the gloomy weather. I went over to say hi and as they were leaving he came over to our table and greeted my family too. If there is a modest star athlete in Kenya then it has to be this guy. So simple and down to earth, drives a vanguard you cant tell he’s a world beater. Kuna wengine kama Asbel Kiprop who i saw walk bare-footed just the other day na sahii anaweza kutemea mate or piss on you
Bumped into Eliud in the Nike Shop Two Rivers. We were the only ones in our aisle. Dude has a very down to earth demeanor and a warm mien. Very low key and wouldn’t pass off as a world beater. Had a photo taken with him. If he breaks the world record, I’m framing that ish.
The Kenyan, 32, clocked 2:00.24 but due to the use of in-out pacemakers, the time will not be recognised as a world record, meaning Dennis Kimetto’s mark of 2:02.57 is still the quickest.
