Fascinating to meet the incredibly driven Jakob Ingebrigtsen. On his aim to be “the best runner of all time”, Josh Kerr, doping. Sample quote: “This is not a love story.”

1. Expecting to arrive at happiness will keep you unhappy
Happiness is not a destination.
It is an emergent phenomenon, one that appears when certain conditions are met
Think of it like a weather system. Rainbows don’t happen everyday. They arise via a constellation of factors
1/ Abram Lyle was my 3x great grandfather. He came from poverty in Greenock, built a factory in London and, 1883, saved it from ruin with the @LylesGolden syrup idea, designing the tin himself. “Out of the strong came forth sweetness” was its motto https://t.co/RwEoX6zj18
It’s crazy to think a generational phenom could die in a car accident months after setting the marathon world record, the same week it was ratified
Kiptum was a world record holder at 23 years old in a sport that is dominated by guys 10-15 years older
This photo is powerful. I want it on my wall. Simply to remind that you could do something great one day and be gone the next. That nothing is promised and that you have to live to your max
As a runner you look at this and know Kiptum was thinking about where he could have been faster in the race to shave 36 seconds. That race solidified that a sub 2 is possible in the future. He even said he was going back to work to prepare for the next
You could be nowhere near your peak, going for glory and it could all end in a second
Kiptum was going to be the one to break sub 2 hours. Had a huge career ahead of him
Truly a generational talent

And so begin the conspiracies… there may be more facets to the untimely death of Kiptum, but I really don’t think Kipchoge putting a hit out on him is one of them 😆
World marathon record holder Kelvin Kiptum and his coach die in an accident along Eldoret-Kaptagat road, Kiptum's family and traffic base commandant Dennis Muga confirm.
Whatever your stance on Parkrun, it gets people together who might otherwise not. That's a good thing. There are many lonely souls navigating this life who need glimmers of light.
18 men just ran sub-14 at Armagh 5k. Best bit: Jack Grey popping out of the pack in the last 1k, madly swinging his arms as per, then thinks “nah mate” and drops off 😆
