Dammnn right ,most of us can never do a 100m dash in 17sec yet that is the feat the Eliud Kipchoge achieved (420 of them in fact) end to end nonstop.

So are you a sprinter or marathon runner? Kipchoge: *Yes*
I am still laughing to this comment 😂
Underrated comment. Or prolly flew over many.. lol

@@garettclement6671 The "or" joke normally works like this: "Would you like a burger or pizza?" "Yes" (haha, "yes" means that they want _at least one_, but didn't tell you which). So here we have "haha, he's at least one of sprinter/marathoner but isn't telling you which." That doesn't really work. So I'm not sure if it's flying over heads so much as under them :) It's more like: "Are you a sprinter *and* marathoner?" "Yes." But making it logically correct doesn't make it a great joke.

It's a sprint and a marathon - Kipchoge
@@mynameis634 i am SAAL
😂😂
I remembered this dude
I don't think people understand how ridiculously fast he is running for 2 hours straight. World record mile time is like 3 minutes 50 seconds and this guy is running at 4 min 34 for 26 miles, the average runner would be doing it in like 7 minutes for a single mile... That's just insane to even think about and he doesnt even look tired
The average runner does not run 20+ miles every.single.day. -- Even most of the world's best athletes don't do anything remotely close to that.
Improved nutrition.nandralone burritos.
Does average runner do 7min/mile? Damn. I recently started running and I can't make 7min/km :-D
Thought average was 6
@@tuomoseppala maybe he meant average for marathoners? I don't know. 7 min mile is def not average for normal people I know that much. And keep grinding you'll get there
So the fastest mile sprint is 3.44 minutes, this man ran about 4.4 minutes PER MILE for TWENTY SIX MILES despite exhaustion. I think the ridiculousness of this is underestimated. Insane feat.
It's not underestimated in any shape of form.
fastest mile sprint is actually 3.72 minutes
To be honest though, the difference between running a 3:43 mile to a 4:34.... and then the same time difference in the inverse ... 4:34 compared to 5:23 or whatever is not equal. The closer you get to going under 4, and then for each second you get under 4 ... the difficulty multiplies by exponential numbers. 3:59 is a different universe than 4:30, even though on the inverse most 5 minute milers could pretty easily train to run a 4:30. My main point is, time differences are not equal. 30 seconds isnt just 30 seconds when it comes down to these paces. Its why you have any number of HS athletes that can run a 4 minute mile but only 3 ppl in history who have run sub 3:46. Its less than 15 seconds, but in those 15 seconds seperates the greatest runners to ever live from a mildly talented high school xc runner.
@@maxacree203 4 minute mile in High school is not a mildly talented xc runner.. Best of the Best if you do that in HS
@@schokoladegd776 .72 is ~ 44 sec. What are u on about
I like how everyone in the sport basically decided that this guy was our best chance as a species of beating our record so they all came together to help him do it. Very cool
Ano Nony : True. But I also know they got a decent pay for doing this. But they, the three Norwegian brothers, also said it was a very cool thing to be a part of.
Runar Andersen I love the running community. But as someone said, money helps too.
If only they did this with usain bolt in his prime to make run even faster
You are right, just amazing.
As a species...that puts things into perspective.
He runs like liquid. It doesn’t even look like he’s going all that fast. He’s just so freaking smooth, with no wasted motion. Unbelievable. I occasionally do his speed on a treadmill for about 30 seconds, and I look like a guy sprinting away from murderers. LOL I love watching him run
If you look at the side view, he’s zooming
Hahahahaha I’d look like I was sprinting from the police😂😂
The reason he doesn’t seem tired at the end is because what we tend to recognize as “tired looking” after a race is the look someone has when they enter extreme oxygen debt which is common in shorter races like a 400m, 800m, or mile. An elite marathoner will rarely, if ever, (other than at the end of a race for a kick) enter any level of oxygen debt. The burden of running a marathon is on the muscles not the lungs. I know its probably unbelievable to think that running 4:34 mile pace for 26.2 miles wouldn’t send someone into massive oxygen debt but its the truth. We’re not talking about everyday people, we’re talking about people who’s body’s have been trained to utilize oxygen at otherworldly levels
I was shocked to see him but that explains it! Thank!
Interesting
True. When I run half marathon on my own, if I struggle to breath, it means it wasn't a good day to do this and I probably won't finish. If I do finish it, the actual main difficulty is that my legs will have become jello by the end.
wow i thought people running a marathon would be breathing hard for the whole 26 miles
But why wouldn’t they sprint at the finish to maximize their time?

Still remember watching this on TV from start to finish. I was first watching alone while trying to explain to my wife why this is a big deal. Somewhere around the 30 minute mark she joined me and after another 30-40 minutes my father-in-law as well as mother-in-law were watching and on edge until the last kilometer when it was pretty much over and we could just watch in awe at this super human. I am sooooooo jealous of you being there and seeing it live :D

My dad always really loved running. He didn't start running until his mid-40s, and by that point he wasn't going to be able to get in the shape a pro runner would be able to, but he got good enough to do 5ks, then 8ks, then even a half marathon. I remember asking him a few different times if he would consider running a marathon, and to be honest I can't really remember his answer, which saddens me, but I do know he had a great respect for runners, especially ones who can do marathons. I've never really shared his love of running, same with camping and the great outdoors in general. He was unfortunately father to 3 very introverted, non-active children, but he loved us all the same, even if we didn't share the same passions. I did do a couple 5ks with him during the brief time I was in college, before I got too depressed to go to class because I was homesick while at my dorm and dormsick when at home. Things were rough. But I did those 5ks with him, with barely any training, because procrastinating is the only way I know how to function, and I had a good time. I didn't stop, hell I didn't even think about it. I kept going, even if I was just walking. If I stopped to catch my breath I made sure I wasn't stopping for good. My dad finished both of them before me, and came back to walk me to the finish line both times, he was so happy to have that with me. I wish I had done more of it with him. This video helped me see why running meant so much to my dad. I wasn't just learning about this story, I was learning why I should care, it meant something to me to see that record broken, even though I'd never cared before, because I had never cared to grasp the scope or intensity of it, I had no reason to. If I could send him this video I would, but I found it 3 months too late. I know he would have appreciated someone talking so passionately about running passionately enough that its able to inspire me, even though all his effort to do the same failed. I know this is an overly serious comment for this video, but watching it the first time last night, it just struck a chord. It was exactly what I needed to see in exactly that moment, and it was enough to finally get me to properly cry over my dad for the first time since he died. I know that's silly and I'm painting a target on my back admitting that on the internet, but I feel it's worth saying here, so you know what an impact something you've made has had on someone else, even if you didn't intend it to affect someone like this. Your channel in general has helped in the goalsetting I've been working on in the wake of his death. I've especially wanted to learn skateboarding and at least one instrument, and to be able to make a piece of art, in whatever medium, that I feel proud to show to the world, no matter the feedback. It's hard to think about the future right after someone dies, but I know I have my whole life ahead of me, and you're never too old to learn something new.
That was a really wonderful tribute to your dad. I wish you all the best. Now go learn to skate as well as how to play the guitar : )
Thanks for taking the time to write this -- quite inspiring. I also want to learn how to skate even though i'm a bit old. You're right, you're never too old to learn something new.
What a beautiful reply- your dad seemed like an amazing person. And I’m glad this video was able to connect so strongly for you. Hoping you’ve been well over these months :)

Sprinting simply means running as fast as one can at full speed over a short distance So no he technically wasn’t sprinting because he has more in the tank but for an average person 13mph would likely be their sprint speed
Imagine what score this man would get on the pacer test
Max score. Don't have to imagine.

@Peezy peezy that's why he's learning isn't that what he said. "I'm a regular bloke" he isn't strong thats why he tries to learn, change and adapt. Sorry if your comment is a joke.

Another asshole piggybacking on someone else's comment 😂🤨
@@GlorifiedTruth k
You mean "Hold my measured water bottle"
i come back to this video every once in a while because kipchoge is that fascinating and this is such a good tribute to one of the best athletes of our time
I'm impressed Mike was there in person at the finish line. It must have been amazing to watch!
Imagine running at a top speed for literally 2 hours
It's not really top speed
@@pxcs7559 for a human to run a mile, yes it is.
@@samnicholls2862 for some it is but it's definitely not top speed for kipchoge
It's more like half the top speed
@@adnan7698 yeah I don’t think he could go 26mph
“If you don’t rule your mind, your mind can rule you” -Kipchoge
This guy makes David goggins look weak
Oh that just inspired me, seriously!
Goggins makes him his bitch
I'm from America and literally everyone is so proud of this guy. Seriously I can't imagine this. It's crazy. This man ran this marathon 1/5 the speed of a car which is crazy.
Isn't he from Kenya?
He is an human being, so he is FROM the earth. And yes he was born in Kenia (Kapsabet)*1984
He is an american citizen.
@@rolo8950 why do you think that?
@@rolo8950 no he isn't, he lives and was born in Kenya, and continues to hold citizenship there.
Incredible, and a great video. Thank you.
Wins 2 Olympic medals... eh not really my sport
Freaks do be freaks
Bruh 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
There is a legend from Ethiopia who is considered one of the best the world has ever seen, Kenenisa Bekele. He’s always been the best, he has battled injury, but during the years about 2001 through 2005, he was untouchable, Kipchoge only won medals when he magically out sprinted Bekele or when he was injured
@@wakimura303 magically?
@@wakimura303 yeah. People generally win by out sprinting others. Nothing magical about it dumbass.
He’s so happy at the end he doesn’t even look in pain.
@@ethanswimmer1287 why the negative assumption for? Why don't leave that to the regulating bodies and respect the man's achievement as it is. He's done marathons that have gone just over the 2 hour mark before. He's a world-class athlete, respect that.
Tommy Productions gotta love adrenaline :)
@@blackprince3577 there's no regulating bodies in an exhibition
Black Prince dumbass it was a joke
@@blackprince3577 This is the same excuse people would give when doubters would come out against Lance Armstrong who would never look in pain or winded after the Tour de France. Everyone would say they were just haters who couldn't understand the historic achievement he was doing. Lance Armstrong proved that whenever people make extraordinary claims or athletes do incredible feats like this and are so far out ahead of the pack, you should always doubt. He ruined it for everyone. ESPECIALLY that b.s. about how some people just have less lactic acid and bigger vo2 capacity. They tried to push that as an excuse for how Armstrong was able to do what he was able to do without doping.
Happy New Year 🎊 the first video I watched in 2024, and so inspiring 😊
What a great story. Really man, thank you for sharing this with us. I’m glad to know who Eliode Kipchogie is.
Imagine getting chased down by this guy. You would be Dead in about 10 seconds
Usain Bolt is the one who would catch you in 10 seconds. Kipchoge would be the one who would you chase you down for a long time, getting closer and closer until you run out of stamina and he catches up, totally unfazed by the running. It would be harder to escape Kipchoge than Bolt though.
@@popoffrotmg981 Mbappe
@@popoffrotmg981 Well considering Mike could only keep up with Kipchoges minimum speed for 40 seconds on a treadmill I don't think the chase would be very long. Just imagine getting chased by Usain bolt who is getting chased by Kipchoge haha
@@EbolaBearr jajajajajajajj, niceee jajajajajajaja
Well kipchoge will run behind you on pace but he would have no problem chasing you for 10 miles you will eventually be too tired to run and he can catch you But if bolt is chasing you he would catch you in under 10 seconds
Kipchoge: I have 2 hours before dinner. Let's run a marathon real quick.
😂
Eric Kohlrabi underrated comment 👌🏻😂
Lmao
Oh man I was crying by the end of the video. His and his pace runners' forms were beautiful. Made me miss running so much.
I never thought I’d watch a video on running, but this was great!
Kipchoge: runs 26 miles with an average mile time of 4:30. Me running a 7:40 mile: LETS GO BABY
DarkSideSwag we did the mile in PE and I tried my fucking hardest and got 10:57
My best is 7:03
Well i can't even run more than 200 meters 🤣🤣
Alexandra Durlai I cant run a bath ffs ☹️
My best mile is 6:20 my 400 meter sprint is 1:09 so I can run kipchoges pace for 400 meters
How remarkable we are all alive at the same time to see this incredible man achieve what was once thought impossible.
100% agree we're living through the single most remarkable running feat
Bitch please.
My jaw DROPPED when he said 100 YEARS! I didn’t really understand the weight of this untill now
Huuup Huuup stfu
Sophia Rodriguez it’s just running who cares
Amazing video truly inspiring history will remember you Eliud Kipchoge well done
Awesome Doco Mike cheers for the insight!
“Oh sorry mate forgot to start the timer,can you do it again?”
Pfff. No problem
Sorry, you need to also run the opposite direction to take wind out of the equation
He should change his name to ‘Keepjogging’
Galvanizus 2.0 why isn’t this a top comment with hundreds of likes
Galvanizus 2.0 hilarious....a winning remark...
He is sprinting
Lol
*Keepsprinting
Great job and video. We were born for greatness, just need opportunity!
Kipchoge is such a nice person with a lot of heart👏👏I wish him the best for his future of running
The way he’s just laughing as he crosses the line. He’s not even tired.
Horse doses of cortisone ?!
Uranus Blood doping
Laughing is the way he expresses his pain, as talked about in the stream
He is tired
he was just interviewed seconds after he finishes and it seemed this man didn’t get tired
This week: I learned how to run a sub 2 hour marathon!!!!!
*how I altered my physiological body genetics*
Ya it's simple. Just stop running marathons over 2 hours and start running them under 2 hours!!
James H. Dickens that’s like saying I learn to run Usains bolt 9:58 100 meter sprint
This week I learned to run a sub life marathon
Learning how to do it does not mean being able to do it 🤔😅
