True Grit XI

August 19, 2021

5’ 6”, 115lbs and 36 years old.  Double Olympic Marathon Gold Medal Winner; world marathon record holder.  First man to run a marathon in under two hours, subject of a book ‘No Human is Limited’ and a two hour Sky documentary ‘The Last Milestone’.  Eliud Kipchoge.

Old school-friend and Master Coach of Sports Coaches Brian Ashton watched the documentary and made a bunch of notes exhibiting Kipchoge’s True Grit, which Brian felt defined this ordinary man and his epic journey.

Here’s what Brian thought we could all learn from Kipchoge’s story – inspirational.
