Eliud Kipchoge, Kenya's renowned marathoner and two-time Olympic gold medalist, is set to compete in the New York City Marathon as part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors series. Born and raised in Kenya, where he developed his running habit from a young age, Kipchoge aims to earn his six-star medal by completing all seven major marathons. He believes that running can improve people's health and freedom globally. To prepare for New York City’s challenging hilly course, similar to his training grounds in Kaptagat, he uses Lingo, a biowearable device that monitors glucose levels and optimizes fueling strategies during races and daily life.
