Eliud Kipchoge

4.65 miles in 57:04 on Jackson roads on a perfect running day.  ( 63*, cloud cover, wind calm)

No leg issues at that pace; longest run in a few weeks.

I think it is very helpful that I heated both my feet and my hamstring before the run. I also wore a  set of full  leg tights today and  compression socks.  I was determined not to try to push the pace , only to cover distance and time.  My legs warmed up nicely as I moved along and each mile dropped time without effort. I must admit tha Eliud Kipchoge inspired me  with his amazing 2 hour marathon effort yesterday.  He is the composed, efficient, running Monsta  that I aspire to be.

Editorial;

Even though the entire event was staged and NIKE should be ashamed of itself for exploiting these guys to sell shoes, Kipchoge solidified his position as the dominant distance runner of his generation.
