Kipyegon: ‘My goal this season was to just break the 1500m WR, I do not know how I keep breaking records

Faith Kipyegon ran the fastest women’s mile in history, breaking her third world record in the last two months and the 29 year old mom says she does not know why she keeps breaking world records.

Kipyegon previously lowered the 1500m and 5000m world records on consecutive Fridays in June.

‘I do not know how I am doing this because it just keeps going really in a good way.

I was feeling healthy and just focusing myself for this world record. When I started this season, my goal was to just break the 1500 WR. It was still in my head and in my mind.

Thank God I did also the 1 mile and the 5000. So many. I want to defend my world title at 1500m in Hungary but I am going to double also with 5000m in Budapest,’ said the Kenyan in her post race interview.

Kipyegon however expressed her delight for her new feat.

‘It was a blessing to do this with these ladies. I can see that they are all happy for me and it is so emotional. It is a blessing, it just does not happen everytime you run. I have to say thanks to God for this.

‘I really enjoyed the race. I came for that, I wanted to chase the world record and thanks to God, it was amazing.

‘And just before the World Championships. I was really looking forward to running here. I have done good training so far and I just came for it.

‘The time – yes, it was really good because the race was well planned. It just went smoothly and to acomplish the world record – that is amazing.

What will be the next – I do not know, it is in God´s hands,’ she added.
