喬哥退役了，這個一次又一次打破世界記錄的跑者，這個讓不受關注的長跑運動變得家喻戶曉的人，要退役了。他說夠了就是夠了，他要去種地當農民了。真的是解甲歸田，悠然見南山的意思嗎？
他最吸睛的一個記錄是在兩小時內完成了一個馬拉鬆比賽，可惜這是一個非正式比賽。
按他的名聲，我很好奇地查了一下他的身價，居然隻有區區3百萬美金，這與他的盛名太不相符了。 他是無可爭議的跑界GOAT(最偉大的跑步運動員），他的身價和他的決定讓人肅然起敬，陶淵明在千年之後出了一個肯尼亞的知音和傳承者！
他是跑界裏公認的GOAT! Salut! 沒有喬哥的跑界從此寂寞江湖！
下麵這篇采訪是喬哥將他的Mind Control, 講得非常棒，放在這裏作為一個reminder. 私以為我們每一個人都能從中汲取營養。
Eliud Kipchoge: You know, I always say your mind is king. If you are able to control your mind, then you will be able to control your body. So mind and the body are going hand in hand. You should try to convince your mind – let us try to push.
EK: “If I don’t go, what will happen?’ Life must go on. So, I just press on. Life is about trying to actually press on every day. Life is about challenging your mind. You need to challenge your mind when you're at your toughest moments.”
EK: You know, running is like life. Life is full of challenges. It’s the same in running. There are a lot of challenges – training, feeling tired, injury – you know, not hitting the targets in training, not hitting the targets in racing. But all in all, it's not the end of anything.
Consistency is the key. If you miss today, you wake up tomorrow. If you have a rest this month and or do not hit the goal you set, don't fall down. Wake up, move on every day and next month you will achieve it. It’s those small things that will become a big thing. It's about pressing on every day. If you do not achieve a goal, collect yourself, begin training again, set another goal, or set the same goal and persist and you will achieve it.
EK: Not going beyond 80% is about enjoying runs and not putting all the effort in every day, which can make my muscles and my body tired. The only time I can push to 100% is race day. Being on 80% is the only way you can spare the energy both mentally and physically, and save that energy for the future. And you know, when you run under 80% in a comfortable way, it will be easy for you to transfer that to 100% at the right time.
在迄今為止世界上排名最靠前的10名馬拉鬆紀錄裏，他占了四席！他以前是以5000米主打的，拿了一堆獎牌之後轉跑馬拉鬆長距離，成為跑界傳奇。
