Let’s just be honest wadau, huyo jama ako at least 42. Classic case of African athletes lying about their age.
Not hating on his achievements, he truly is the king of the marathon.
You only get a sense of what it means to run that speed if you’re a runner, lakini huyo jama anaka mzee sana banae.
Jama hawezi kuwa almost my age mate.
C’est impossible!
Part of the reason they do a maximum of 5 marathons a year is coz it does a number on your body. When Phidephidis run the 1st marathon during Roman times to deliver a msg sii alikufa.
We boss mimi bora niko na kazi, biashara ziko sawa inaleta kitu, watoto mbili wakimbia all over, nyumba Naks ocha, ingine Nairobi yangu na nakula wasichana 19-22 yes frequently nashukuru Mungu.
Anything else is greed
Not all of us need the entire world.
Crazy when you think about the fact that he was a track athlete and only switched to marathon in 2011 akiwa 26.
Samuel Wanjiru who would be 35 today was dominating marathons and was the better athlete and I feel kama angekua, he’d have been the first human to run sub 2 hours. His Beijing Olympic record which he set at 21 still stands.
If he managed to lower that record at the age of 42, he would have immortalized himself. I believe he has pushed the limits of human capability. Of course, someone else will better his record in future but I doubt anyone will do it at an age beyond 40 yrs. And if they do, their age record might be safe for at least a millennium.
