Kenyan long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge, known for breaking marathon records and running a marathon in under two hours, recently shared his favorite running tracks for motivation. Surprisingly, his go-to song is Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Stronger’. Kipchoge expressed his admiration for Kelly Clarkson and how her music, especially the lyrics of ‘What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger’, motivates him during his runs. He also mentioned enjoying Kenny Rogers’ music, with ‘Coward of the County’ being one of his favorites.
In a recent interview, Kipchoge explained his preference for open ear headphones, such as the ones from leading electronics brand Shokz, which allow him to hear his surroundings while enjoying his music. He finds these headphones comfortable and essential for his runs, as they help him disconnect from the world and focus on his training.
