Notes From Eliud Kipchoge's Berlin Marathon Training Log
Marathon world record chaser Eliud Kipchoge, who will be going after Dennis Kimetto's 2:02:57 in Berlin this weekend, has revealed his past two months of training to the internet.

Kipchoge, the public favorite to both win in Berlin and break the world record and who clocked 2:00:25 at the Nike Breaking2 event in May, has apparently granted access to his training regimen to a company called Sweat Elite. Check out details of his running over the past two weeks below, and read the full report here.
