Marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge, famed for breaking the two-hour marathon barrier and winning two Olympic gold medals, is on a final mission to cement his incredible legacy, and the finish line is in New York City. The athlete, widely regarded as the greatest marathon runner ever, has conquered almost every major marathon, but the New York race remains the one title that has eluded him. He views winning this final major as the essential step to becoming a “rounded” athlete and completing his collection with a prestigious sixth star. Despite recent challenges that come with a long career, Kipchoge credits modern technology, like continuous glucose monitoring, for helping him optimize his training and extend his peak performance. As he eyes the finish line on November 2, Kipchoge’s ultimate goal is to end his storied career on his own terms.
