“In the 1,500m, we help each other break barriers or break our PBs because you know when I run fast, even Laura (Muir) also runs fast, Georgia Bell or Jessica Hull,” Kipyegon said.
“We push each other to fast times and it really helps us to improve every year. Despite what we do in sports, we have to love each other no matter what. We are competitors but at the same time we can still do fast times.”
Kipyegon first broke the 1,500m world record in June 2023 in Florence, Italy when all her rivals on the day mobbed her after the race to celebrate with the fast pace also having helped them improve their personal bests.
