  What l particularly enjoyed was something Eliud said that &quot;self confidence is like an umbrella, when you have an umbrella and it&apos;s raining, an umbrella can&apos;t chase away the rain but it can make you to stand in the rain. That&apos;s confidence.&quot;

  I really admire Mr. Kipchoge so very much. &nbsp;His mind is so calm, his thoughts so clear and focused, and his messages so powerfully simple. &nbsp;As you so rightly said Floris, Eliud is not just a professional runner, but a philosopher, teacher and mentor. &nbsp;Your summary at the conclusion of the video was excellent. &nbsp;Eliud is truly a remarkable man.

  &quot;It all starts with the family&quot; &nbsp;i truly resonate with this. &nbsp;My foundation is my wife and kids and they give me the energy to run and be a better husband and father.

  Good Day to everyone <br><br>Thus I would like to know if, Mr. Eluid Kipchoge, would ever run the Comrades Marathon here in South Africa ?<br><br>This year 2025, it is going to be the down run and it is a 90km race.<br><br>Thank you for getting back to me about this question.

  For me, the best takeaway from the video is at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fktx7qLbXDc&amp;t=1402">23:22</a> Learning to embrace the sweetness of the pain when you&apos;re running for long. Today I ran my first ever 10K in a hilly trail and I was almost stopping but I ignored my thoughts and kept going, at the 7KM all the pain had vanished and I could just see my legs floating in the air, the pain helped me realize some hidden energy reserve that prior to that I had never utilized. I&apos;m planning to continue running on that hilly trail more times and gradually make it x2, then x4 to become my own marathon.

  My favorite takeaway: when asked about any systems he uses etc he responded simply “it’s about decision”. It’s that simple, decide to do it and do it. Beautiful.

  My favourite bit is Eliud&apos;s focus on consistency. It&apos;s the best way for any athlete to reach the next level or the next goal.

  Confidence is like an umbrella in the rain. It will not chase away the rain but will allow you to stand in the rain. I recently ran a new half marathon PB in horrific wind and rain<br> At first my confidence was knocked because I knew the weather was going to make this run hard. But, I had confidence in my MAF and threshold focussed training along with my discipline and consistency. I knocked 1.5 mins off of my previous PB. Eliud you&apos;re an inspiration to us all!

  One of my favorite takeaways was his statement, “It’s about making the decision to run, controlling your mind and maintaining discipline.” &nbsp;I woke up this morning at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fktx7qLbXDc&amp;t=210">3:30</a> and couldn’t fall back asleep. I had planned to run at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fktx7qLbXDc&amp;t=330">5:30</a>. When <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fktx7qLbXDc&amp;t=330">5:30</a> came around I was tired and unmotivated, but I made the decision. I laced up my shoes and made it out the door without entertaining my dissenting thoughts. It was a glorious morning and a productive day. So glad I ran!
