Craig Engels Breakthrough Mile Race

[@joaquinramirez8284]

This is the type of race where u hop on the track one type of runner and you come off the track a different man

[@emilioramos6397]

Joaquin Ramirez yep basically he had to break thru a mental barrier in that race

[@nathanvanderpool1175]

But at the same time, 4:01 is still an incredible time

[@johndouglas2752]

@@nathanvanderpool1175 4:01 is an INDICATIVE time... Indicative of a runner that has a little further to go in terms of breaking mental barriers.

[@efisgpr]

Wow...very well said. Amazingly poignant.

[@nathankingsland1980]

“His mustache is flying in the wind.” That is goated

[@jmcconnor01]

i laughed HARD when engels stuck his tongue out on last lap. he really is the definition of pure-joy-running

[@drewmclendon5870]

When he smiled with 150 to go...

[@wymple09]

When you run a 3:56 mile & finish 3rd.

[@alexcombs9124]

Great commentator. A step above the normal dudes you get to call these races.

[@huntermorgan6437]

His mustache is flying in the wind? They're indoors!

[@wrestletok21]

Hunter Morgan haha

[@williamdowling7718]

He's running in excess of 13mph... You don't think he's experiencing any airflow?

[@BBallProductions30]

william dowling he’s running about 15.3 mph

[@huntermorgan6437]

@@williamdowling7718 its just a joke, hes running faster than must of us can, like 99 percent of people.

[@mpepp9]

They always look so calm. I can run a 5min mile but it feels like I’m just flailing about with a massive grimace for the second half

[@MrSamwiseable]

i hit a sub 5 minute mile once and thought i was going to die lol

[@efisgpr]

So...you should be a 4:25 guy. Train at 60-75% of your maxHR and see that time fly down....as you fly around that last 300...

[@king-qi2ks]

Honestly, even tho the 5k runners look so calm and smooth but when I’m running an all out 5k I look like I’m bout to die

[@timothysullivan4759]

@@king-qi2ks I think everyone is super tired in a running race they just have to maintain form so they don’t show it. If you let your form breakdown when you’re tired it’s just gonna get that much harder

[@bigboy8474]

Taking charge in a race like that and still putting down a massive kick, oh baby

[@joaquinramirez8284]

Also athlete special spotted at 4:27👀

Joaquin Ramirez yeahhhhh

Saw him too and was looking in comments for someone else who saw 😂

Lmao I thought that was him

lol nice

[@aidan7376]

👏Good job flo track, this isn't a decade old!👏

[@kevinhernandez2600]

My man went from a 4:01 to a 3:53😳😳

[@jazzyjay4595]

His 3’37 1500 said enough about his times. 3’42 is about the equivalent of a 3’59-4’00 mile.

[@kevinhernandez2600]

Jazzy J true true his 1500 times does say enough. Although in this mile race for a full mile he really flew and dropped his previous time down by a lot.

[@jazzyjay4595]

Kevin Hernandez yeah definitely a huge drop. I guess what I’m saying is that it was expected. NOP wouldn’t have picked him up if they didn’t think he could run under 3’55

[@kevinhernandez2600]

Jazzy J yes definitely he was expected to hit that. I’m glad NOP picked him up, but sadly with everything that happen with NOP he’s still doing amazing with Nike. Every race he proves hes got it and of course without a doubt he’ll be a olympian!

[@derekmorton581]

One Word "STUD"

[@liamelder2181]

This race always puts a smile on my face

[@twoblink]

I remember running the same time.. On my half mile... Incredible!

goosebumps.

[@ganeshgajavelli1487]

Was lookin for someone to comment this :) Really stunning stuff!

[@robtheredrocker]

This guy is absolutely my favorite runner to watch, he made that look so so easy...

[@benson5653]

Loved the commentating

[@trailzrock2]

3:52 without the mustache

[@JoeMac1983]

That stache definitely gives him some lift when he exceeds 15mph

AMAZING COMMENTATOR

His mustache flying in the wind!!😂

Imagine your first sub-4 being 3:53.94

[@eway3771]

this commentator is so much better than all the others they get

[@oscarbrown6032]

The guy who came last ran like a 4:10. Rip to my man who probably also ran a pb

[@alwaysuseless]

4:01, not 4:10. Craig cut 8 seconds, not 17.

[@westsidebilling]

Very good mile time. I'm impressed.

[@ryanlong7345]

Crazy speed/endurance

[@rainbowmonkMC]

Craig goes through in 2flat. coming back in 1:53... oooof

[@johnnowakowski4062]

A 3:55 and you come in second...

[@mxrksmanx5056]

3:53sec to run a mile?

[@sheawhitetoney]

why do some of them just run off the track

[@sometimes1267]

They are pacers

[@sheawhitetoney]

thatboss 21 what does that mean

[@sometimes1267]

@@sheawhitetoney they run with the runners for a bit of the race to help them finish the race in a certain amount of time

[@sheawhitetoney]

thatboss 21 ah, thank you kind sir

[@mitchellrosandich2886]

Can someone explain the leading pace runners? are they competing in the race? does each team have a specific person for this or does each runner within a team do this at specific times?

[@zanies6288]

They are the pacemakers/rabbits their job is to set a certain pace for the race, they get paid for it.

[@ljohnwu]

Engels' kick - wow!

[@runninggirl2765]

I think the mullet adds a sort of aerodynamic advantage but the joy for running is his real edge.

[@jpfay6022]

I ran track back in my youth days.... can someone explain to me why sometimes people just stop running in the middle of the race? He didn't look too fatigued to stop?

[@bugbugbug3469]

they have pacers, or "rabbits" for pro races to set the pace for the first part

[@ChristopherGonzalez-kh1zx]

Is this track smaller or something ?

[@Nathansfootballfanatics]

Man I’m 15 and went to track as a sprinter now 8m watching this cuz I gotta run the 1 and 2 mile race

[@nava5397]

Why those two just hop out of the track?

[@bibirikun]

They're pacers, they set the pace for the other runners to hit a certain time and leave the track before the finish, they get paid to do it.

[@ballinblaza]

How is that fair that half the guys start on the outside but they are way up front? is there a rule that they have to stay in that lane for half a lap or something?

[@gabewatson2156]

Yes. As you can see, they don’t cut in until after the third turn.

Humans aren't supposed to look that strong after running 1350 meters that fast.

“HIS MUSTACHE IN THE WIND”

[@scrumpymanjack]

Never gone below 4 minutes and then suddenly goes below 3.54???? Seriously? Who improves their mile PR by more than six seconds at this level?

[@timothyfranklin4808]

So I don’t watch much athletics.... came up in my recommendations, why was there a grew of guys starting ahead of the others???

[@a361lbs]

To avoid crowding at the start some runner must stay in the outside lanes for the first lap or two (depending on the exact rules). That would mean they run a further distance if they didn't start a bit ahead. It's calculated so that regardless of starting position the runner will cover the same distance (unless they go wide to pass). This is more obvious in 200 or 400m sprints where the athlete cannot change lanes at all.

[@timothyfranklin4808]

a361lbs cheers!!!

[@mathematics5573]

next target 3.47
