    Gone far too young. RIP Kelvin Kiptum

    Sometimes people do things that are beyond superhuman, Kelvin Kiptum ran three of the seven fastest marathons in history. He is still rank the first among ALL the world's marathon runners. Only one man has ran a few seconds faster in a non-official marathon.

    Some of you may have heard of him. I was hoping to see Kelvin run one day. Just 24 years old. Very sad.

    Understandably, you'd really be involved in the running world to know who he is. Marathoners are not superstars like sprinters. Such a shock. Its a really sad, he had so much more to give.
    Cheers

    Running, that's three letters worse than a four letter word.

    I didn’t watch the video but I did Google him and had a very quick scan. Pretty amazing coming from a shepherd to a runner.

    Had a quick search of the interweb and found a few possible meanings, but I doubt any of them are what you meant.

    No need for this black duck. I could change my title to "TYPO Expert"

    Kelvin Kiptum was a superstar in anyone's language or for anyone who appreciated the sheer guts and determination of moving fast or being the best at any endeavor.


    I am Humbled by many people. He is one of a few I mourn the potential to change world records likes of Roger Bannister 4 minute mile or anything moving or thinking breaking the human ordinary mold. One of our RIP includes a Western Port Fisherman to the end! RIP
