“You realize why people in the western world have so much difficulty competing with these guys. These guys don’t have any Facebook or Twitter. They run in the morning, eat, sleep, run more. There are dirt roads. There was an old red dirt track, which was uneven and had plants growing out of it. Here you have the fastest (distance runner) alive, and he’s using a plastic bottle to indicate where to start (a run). It had a very ‘Rocky’ vibe.”
– Dr. Philip Skiba talking to the Chicago Tribune after visiting Eliud Kipchoge‘s training camp in Kenya. For the record, Kipchoge has both a Facebook and Twitter account.
