It’s like I am running without any watch on my hand”Īfter training with COROS PACE 2 for the last several months, Eliud knows that the variety of performance metrics along with several other great features such as the light weight (29g) and the incredible battery life, will help him be at his best when it matters most.
I am a marathoner, you know when I am going for long runs, you wear the lightest thing to make you comfortable.COROS actually makes the lightest watch ever, which is good for me.
While being the defending champion and World Record holder comes with a target for competitors, Eliud now has a not-so-secret weapon for his training – the COROS PACE 2. Now after a strange 2020, that like all of us, has limited his ability to run with his training partners, and showcase his fitness in races, Eliud is ready to go after a second Olympic Marathon Gold Medal (his first came at the 2016 games in Rio). No one has run as fast as Eliud Kipchoge for the Marathon distance, be it on a certified course, where Eliud holds the World Record of 2:01:39 from Berlin in 2018 or in a special attempt where Eliud because the first and only human to break 2 hours, running 1:59:40 at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge in Vienna in 2019. However, it was after switching to the Marathon in 2013 that Eliud really started to make his mark on the running world. Born in Kenya, where he still trains with several teammates from the Kenyan national team and the elite NN Running Team of which COROS will be the official GPS Watch partner.Įliud started his career as a 5,000m runner – earning a gold medal at the 2003 World Championships in Paris when he was just 18 years old followed by 2 silver and 1 bronze at the distance in subsequent Olympics and World Championships. Eliud was a force to be reckoned with long before he chased the elusive Sub 2 marathon being featured in news outlets throughout the world. Our shared mission to remove limitations from the everyday athlete personified by our respective slogans: No Human is Limited and Explore Perfection, are what made this relationship such a perfect fit. That man of course is Eliud Kipchoge the newest COROS Pro Athlete.Įliud is an incredible athlete, but he is also a tremendous human being. However, to many the term “Sub 2” gained notoriety because of one man doing what no one thought would be possible, to run a full marathon – 26.2 miles in under 2 hours. To the everyday runner it is the quest to run a half marathon – 13.1 miles in less than 2 hours, about a 9:09 mile pace. To the high school middle distance runner, it is a barrier for the 800-meter run – two laps around the track. The term “Sub 2” holds different meanings to different runners. “I am really happy to know that together we can move this world toward perfection.” “COROS matches with my ambition and my goal that is “Explore Perfection”.
