2022 RunBlogRun, Recovery Week 2, Day 6 (June 25, 2022)

Faith Kipyegon is considered the finest women’s 1,500m of this century. She won the 1,500 meters in the Rio Olympics and Tokyo Olympics. She has medaled in all global championships since 2014, even just months after she gave birth to a baby boy.

Faith is also amazing over the 800 meters and 1,000 meters. Earlier this season, she battled Francine Niyonsaba over 3,000m and it came down to a tough kick before NIyonsaba won.
