Hello there, welcome to another episode of Run Pod, where today I'm joined by someone who, quite frankly, is the greatest marathon runner of all time.

There's no denying it.

He just confirmed it at the Tokyo Olympics, where he picked up his second Olympic gold medal for the marathon.

He is the marathon world record holder and he is the only person, the only human to have ever run a sub two-hour marathon.

It's the one and only.

Elliot Kupchogi, hello.

Hello, how are you?

Very good, all the better for speaking to you.

Where in the world are you today?

I'm in Kenya. I am a town. I'm in a city called Eldred. It's western part of Kenya.

That's where you are. So I'm in London. You're in Kenya and we'll discuss

London later actually. But first, congratulations on another Olympic gold medal only a few

weeks ago. At the final event and the whole Olympic Games, how was that race in Sapporo

in Tokyo for you because it was a hot day?

The race was really hot and I can say Tokyo was cool to happen.

You know, if you're going to blush back what has been happening for the last one and a half years, about two years.

Then Tokyo actually was great to happen in order to tell all the human beings, all the human

family that we are on the right direction towards our normal lives.

That's why we are on the right transition towards our normal lives.

On the other one is that the race went on well. I was really lucky enough to defend

a title path to pack, which it was actually my plan. I'm happy for the performance. I'm happy

for everybody who are going for the support which I received for five months of training.
