Eliud Kipchoge, the greatest marathoner in history, turned 40 on Nov. 5. In celebration of the GOAT becoming a masters athlete, our editors Alex, Katelyn and Michael look back at how Kipchoge single-handedly innovated distance running.

They explore how Kipchoge was the face of the super shoe revolution and Nike's technological discoveries as he strived to break the two-hour barrier in the marathon. Kipchoge also put nutrition and fueling front-and-center for marathon training and racing, and elevated Maurten into the powerhouse brand it is today. 

They do a deep dive on all the sports science breakthroughs triggered by Kipchoge's superhuman performances, his psychological strategies for running record breaking times, and put it all into context as discoveries that can be applicable for runners of all abilities levels.
