#84: The Raw Truth of Running with Brendan Leonard (Semi-Rad)

There is no greater runner and ambassador for the sport of running than Eliud Kipchoge. We discuss Kipchoge's routines, top running tips and advice for athletes of all levels to improve.      This episode is not available in podcast format, and can only be found on my YouTube channel in video format.     The reason is that this episode is subtitled for clarity and also includes lots of visuals, photos, videos, screenshots.         CLICK HERE TO WATCH THIS FULL CONVERSATION: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fktx7qLbXDc    This conversation was recorded in Tokyo, after we both ran the Tokyo Marathon. We dive deeper into Kipchoge’s philosophies, routines and advice for non-elite athletes to improve.  I am really excited about this conversation and we covered several topics I haven’t heard him talk about in other interviews.   This was my 3rd time meeting with Eliud. I’ve put together a 30 page PDF with a summary from both conversations, lessons, takeaways, favorite quotes and a full transcript. This E-book can be downloaded for free at Extramilest.com/kipchoge.      I can’t wait to hear your thoughts about this conversation in the comments HERE on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fktx7qLbXDc

The PF 30 gel is the most efficient way to get 30g of carbohydrate / 120 calories into your system fast.
