Kipchoge was yesterday honoured by Isuzu East Africa Limited in Nairobi who gifted him with a limited edition double cabin pick-up christened 'Eliud Kipchoge 1:59 Limited Special D-Max Edition'.
The vehicle was in honour for his feat at the Ineos 1:59 Challenge in Vienna.
"What Isuzu has done to me today will inspire the next generation to work harder to achieve their dreams," Kipchoge said.
Concerning his recent loss in Boston Marathon where he finished a distant sixth, Kipchoge said he learnt vital lessons.
He said he is already training very hard but refused to divulge his next course of action after Boston.
However, he hinted out that he will soon post schedule for his next races on his social media pages.
Kipchoge was also non committal on going to the World Championships in Hungary, Budapest this August.
He was also non committal in stating his favourite athletes that he feels can best represent Kenya in marathon in Budapest.
While revealing what has kept him going for so long in marathon, Kipchoge said: "I know where I am, I know where I'm going, respecting the sport is my motivation, I'm always treating running as a profession, I'm always yearning more to inspire the next generation."
