Potential is defined by our imagination. Sir Roger Bannister believed he could break the 4 min mile when the vast majority of the medical and athletics community believed it to be beyond the realm of human potential. Once Bannister broke the 4 minute “barrier” multiple other athletes also broke 4 min.
What changed? Bannister’s performance gave others a mental representation of what was possible. His vision, his belief in himself, his determination in the face of world wide doubt - it not only freed his mind and body to perform at a higher level....he also changed the imagination of athletes worldwide of what was possible. People’s imaginations were expanded on what they were capable of....for that moment in time.
Eliud Kipchoge broke the Marathon record and, in this way, his mental and physical achievement has freed the World from doubting if the previous record could be broken. This is a historical moment because Kipchoge’s performance will fundamentally change the mental performance of marathon runners worldwide. Watch. How many other athletes will break the previously held marathon record in the next 18 months?
Kipchoge, your performance is inspirational. Your dedication deep. Congratulations . My question to you is, “where will your imagination ring you next?”INCREDIBLE! Eliud Kipchoge writes his name into the history books, becoming the first human to run a sub two-hour marathon.
