marathoner

Earlier this month, after Eliud Kipchoge defended his Olympic title, it felt like we’d finally run out of superlatives for the most accomplished marathoner in history.

Coming into Sunday’s marathon, there was some question of whether the defending Olympic champ and greatest marathoner in history still had the magic.

Sure, the marathoners will be wearing new-generation shoes, but that technology is now well-known and available from a wide variety of shoe brands.

Cushioning in the toe and heel provides support for your feet when you hit the pavement while jogging, whereas a marathoner who runs long distances might need compression socks.

I consider myself an elite athlete and at the end of the day I train like an elite marathoner and do everything that they do.

There is much to do well within marathoner distance for everybody who is willing.

“I definitely thought twice about running,” says Claire Sabel, a first-time marathoner who has been training since the summer.

There she was, sprinting like a Marathoner for the barbed-wire fence that enclosed the lot.
