Office Hours: Patrick Sang on Coaching Eliud Kipchoge, Faith Kipyegon and the Art of Enduring Greatness

Patrick Sang — the coach behind Eliud Kipchoge, Faith Kipyegon and many other Kenyan stars — reflects on humility, intuition, and the unseen architecture of greatness from more than two decades of coaching. In this wide-ranging interview that we recorded from the NN Running Team Pop Up in New York City (15 E 40th Street), Sang discusses his role as a coach, teacher, mentor, and friend to some of the best in the world, the lessons on longevity and how he’s taking great inspiration from Kipchoge’s career to foster in Faith Kipyegon’s future success on the roads.
