The first sub-two-hour marathon is an astonishing individual achievement, but it is also a lesson in leadership, as a distinguished African theologian explains. On 12 October, on a misty morning in a Vienna park, Kenyan athlete Eliud Kipchoge completed a marathon in 1 hr 59 min 40.2 sec. His feat captivated the imagination of people around the world, far beyond the sporting community. I take away from his astonishing achievement.‘You cannot train alone and expect to run a fast time. There is a formula: 100% of me is nothing compared to 1% of the whole team. And that’s teamwork. That’s what I value.’
