‘Back to running ways’ – Eliud Kipchoge returns to work as he begins quest to reclaim glory

Marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge is determined to bounce back to winning ways quickly and has began early preparations for his 2025 season.

Two-time Olympics champion Eliud Kipchoge is wasting no time in hid bid to be ready for the 2025 season.

Kipchoge has returned to training to begin his preparations for the new campaign, looking to turn a new page in his career next year, following his disappointing outing in 2024.

The marathon legend has not hidden his desire to continue winning and while some of his colleagues continue to enjoy a well-earned rest, he is back to work.

“Back to running ways,” Kipchoge posted on social media after returning to training.

Kipchoge endured his worst year as he finished 10th at the Tokyo Marathon in March before dropping out of his race at the Paris 2024 Olympics at the 31km mark.

He has, however, vowed to bounce back strongly, expressing his desire to continue winning in the next few years.

“I still want to win something else,” Kipchoge told Runner’s World in September.

“Running is like life – full of challenges. That’s why it’s called life. You’re training, feeling tired, dealing with injury, not hitting the targets in training, not hitting the targets in rest – but consistency is the key.

“If you miss today, you wake up tomorrow. If you have a rest this month, and you actually know the goal that you set, don’t fall down. Wake up, move on every day and next time you will achieve it. Those small, small things will be a big thing.”
