Hi r/Marathon_Training, I'm Jacob Kiplimo, a professional long-distance runner and world record holder. Ask me anything!

I've spent years refining my training, recovery and race strategy to perform at the highest level. Now, I'm excited to share what I've learned with this community.

Whether you’re running your first mile, your next marathon, or simply curious about what it takes to win a race, feel free to ask about anything related to running - from workouts and pacing to mindset and recovery.

Drop your questions below by April 27, 12:00 PM BST. I'll be back on April 28 at 3:00 PM BST to answer your top questions for about an hour, live from Samsung KX.

Looking forward to it! - Jacob
