It was produced by Net World Sports for an article comparing the diets of swimmer Michael Phelps, heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, weightlifter Lasha Talakhadze, and Kipchoge, a two-time Olympic marathon champion. However, on its webpage, Net World Sports didn't included the full Kipchoge day, so I've reproduced it below.
