distance running compilation

distance running video

[@cahillgreg]

El Guerrouj - what an outstanding talent and to think that his mile and 1500 world records are still standing since the 1990s. Exceptional.

[@MissingSirius]

The announcers enthusiasm and excitement when Billy Mills won is awesome.

[@meyer45011]

Almost have this video memorized I've watched it so many times....When my friends and I go on our daily 10 miler we often find ourselves repeating lines from this video. Truly Inspirational!

[@TheeChozzenOne]

i've been watching this video off and on for a year and it still sends goose bumps down my neck. I makes me want to excite people like that!

[@MichaelKarp_Profile]

im a freshman in high school nad i am truly inspired by these people. I broke five minutes today in my first track meet of the year and I'm very happy =)

[@Chrisfoshiz]

This video gives me the chills. Just got home from doing some track work, wish I'd have watched this before today's workout..

[@SuperRunning11]

This video and song gets me so fired up to go and race. I will run for Slippery Rock University starting this fall. I can't wait to put that home green jersey on for the first time. GO ROCK!

[@eatrunsurfsleep]

Billy Mills' comeback owns them all. That finish was crazy

[@eatrunsurfsleep]

i saw billy mills at a track clinic i went to and he spoke to us about that race. it was amazing to here the first hand perspective of his finish and what was going through his mind. Greatest finish of all time.

[@joeyoshs]

The Song used was from the movie "Rudy". It's about a football player that's short (like Pre) and has his determination to get him to his goal. Great movie

[@AdamBrussGoGo]

That was Pre's first olympics and he did very well. Imagine how much he would have improved for the next one.

[@nordicwilly6650]

What an amazing compilation! Thank you

[@hich101]

El G. A living legend. The best. VivA morocco. The Moroccan legend.

[@ThePianoManTony]

This is the GREATEST video I have EVER Seen!!! And that's an understatement!!!

[@XCaddict2009]

amazing compilation! i love running. the prefontaine video you show at the beginning is one of my favorites. prefontaine is my favorite runner of all time, truly an american inspiration.

[@ZdudeX3]

have actually seen this like a million times and im still amazed. When I run i use this video to help hold on or push just that extra step.

[@nwtrunner]

Fantastic video, many thanks for posting it! I've been distance running for 28 years and can only dream of running like these guys, but it's still inspiring.

[@Resenbrink]

That last finish is fantastic

[@november-bravo]

I got chills at the end of this video.

[@merkin22]

Now there's sport -- individual physiology against individual physiology. Thanks for the compilation, and I agree with others here in that this is just full of chills and tears of seeing such physical accomplishment.

[@stt5v2002]

Imagine an Olympic final 5000m race. Imagine that the three greatest distance runners of all time were in that one race. The greatest 1500m runner, at the very peak of his career. The greatest 5k and 10k runner ever, who is poised for his breakout. And the greatest marathoner of all time, an almost unknown who will one day run the first sub 2 hour marathon. Imagine all three sprinting for Olympic medals over the last 250 meters. Now go to 3:06 and watch it.

[@silverstreakr]

this is one of those videos that non-runners think is nothing special, but any real runner will be either crying or running (or possibly both) at the end of this video, nicely done.

[@RavineRunner21]

The end gives me chills every single time I watch this.

[@Runningman3200]

That was the greatest thing ive ever seen on youtube. GO PRE!!!!

[@RickDeckard2]

I get chills every time I watch this !

[@losrunner24]

yeah my brother was always pretty short. yet my dad told him to take a season off in his sophomore year and by his junior year he grew tremendously.

[@Lmnopen929]

2004 1500 final, one of my favorite races of all time. Two of my favorite runners throwing down a great race. I still wish Lagat had won though. I think he deserves a gold medal.

[@Rogerio34567]

El Guerrouj, Bekele and gabressalasie are the current kings of distance running. Long live the kings

[@joeyoshs]

@rmante06 , The song is from the Movie Rudy so it's called "Rudy's Theme" Composed b y Jerry Goldsmith IT's an awesome movie about a small guy (LIKE PRE!) that has determination to go play for Notre Dames football team. Yo will not regret watching it.)

[@Supertramp1966]

Great video! Very inspirational! I watch it before my runs when I want to get motivated. These guys were SOLID, and had guts!!! Here's one for ya... "Far better it is to dare mighty things than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." -Teddy Roosevelt

[@dagda16]

nice video, and I never realized how great the Rudy soundtrack really is

[@fmeade]

Awesome video. Hairs are standing up on the back of my neck after it. Can't wait to go out and do a session later

[@tian33long]

Great video, really well done. Thanks.

[@runlikeagirl22]

[@Bombus91]

[@infinitelizer]

[@Prepwns]

Wow... amazing video... the part with mill's always gets me

[@rabbit605]

"Look at Mills! Look at Mills!" - last clip (5:49) - greatest distance running commentary ever?

[@StratPlayer92]

This video gives me goosebumps! I love it! Good work!

[@howdyydaniel]

LOOK AT MILLS, LOOK AT MILLS! best video ever.

[@StratPlayer92]

LOOK AT MILLS! LOOK AT MILLS! (chills every single time)

[@Sunotmy]

Watching this made my heart-beat as a first time long distance runner. Wow..

[@crosswoods23]

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Pre

[@Archillect1]

RIP pre, you were a legend

[@natedaug1]

@Carguello615 Mills is amazing. Seriously, maybe the most inspirational thing in American sports history. That whole sequence is awesome.

[@mohammedgarouj1318]

Gorgeous vedeo greetings from morocco 🇲🇦✌

[@invizaman7]

thankes for this great video man!

[@proudvirginian]

Tears in my eyes.

[@dchawk13]

I got chills watching this haha

[@ozzykid2268]

Is it just me when the announcer says "Look at Mills! Look at Mills" that the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

[@BlueStreakxc]

Pre was the best there ever was at leading from the start and winning. His attitude was hey you wanna win a gotta catch and beat me from behind.

[@LlegaRunning]

Que buenos, estos tios son la leche. Recomendable al 100%.

[@KookzintehHouse]

Epically inspireing.

[@Dankfrank3]

I love DISTANCE running!!!

[@DC123777]

Whenever I watch this video, I am always upset and depressed when I see Pre miss out on the Bronze. But when I see Billy Mills with the greatest kick ever, I ALWAYS seem to be inspired and happy:)

[@natedaug1]

Billy Mills ran one of the greatest races in long distance history.

[@mrtorviking]

beautiful!!!

[@jingling0816]

it's really great!!

[@JeffBarehand]

Tears. Actual tears.

[@XCaddict2009]

amen, bro! long live distance running!

[@SmoothMike]

Mills brought a tear to my eye

[@jonnybravo8]

vebjørn rodahl, atlanta 800m gold. Best runner ever

[@matthinrichs2371]

Great stuff!

[@JOSHA5]

Omfg mills at the end things like that make me want to go run forever.

[@HattyLovesCats]

Brilliant stuff

[@jupitercrash07]

Look at Mills! Look at Mills! Classic

[@johnbrandt2007]

Ahh. really sucks having a stress fracture and not being able to do what I love most. Least I got it from running :)

[@helluva02run]

great video, bu I cant believe you dont have Dave Wottle on here!!

[@adulby]

great video.

[@AgTFXCRunner]

A good video! Billy Mills was a hell of a runner including all the runners, but the best finish has to go to him...

[@pro7o7ype87]

Isn't that the most beautiful kick ever?

[@FrayFlip]

wow. I know this feeling and I love to feel it awesome vid

[@Crosscountry618]

oh...my...god. that was amazing

[@Guaguanco11]

This sentence begins and ends with this.

[@stt5v2002]

I was in a tough battle for 2nd place at a local 10k (winner was about 3 mins ahead and I had long forgotten him). The finish was on a track. With 300 to go I could hear this video in my head and I started to imagine el-g chasing Bekele.... All the fatigue vanished... Sprinting at the end of 10000! And Steve pulls away to win! (2nd).

[@yoyoandrew123]

gotta love this vid

[@jhessgirl]

Yeah! Great. I saw Endurance with Haile Gebraselassie. He is amazing!

[@jekrunner7]

running 25-30 miles a week is a good amount for ur age. You should, however, keep in mind that running itself tightens up muscles and ligaments plus you are starting to go through your growth spurt. In your growth spurt your bones grow master than your ligaments which means all of ur muscles and ligaments are being stretched like a rubber band. So it would be a good idea to follow ur mom's advice and stretch a lot that way u wont get injured.

[@eatrunsurfsleep]

awesome inspiring video. makes me wanna race.

[@simonj73]

The music is the theme from "Rudy"

[@pilgrim655]

A real sport....Training mind and body!

[@gusbus805]

billy mills trained for that he visualized himself winning by doing 100m sprints. it's just inspiring pretty much if you have a kick it's easier to win against someone better than you

[@Prepwns]

What do you mean what part is it!? The ending clip in black and white. By far the most amazing kick I've ever seen.

[@sanduru2107]

Look at Mills!! Look at Mills!!!

[@runforworld1]

@685jf1 the song is the main title soundtrack from the movie Rudy

[@runfree3392]

that bill mills race at the end always gives me goose bumps to see him out kick those guys..that was a really strong kick by the way

[@TheReadBaron91]

i love running, the most ive ever ran at one time is 15 miles at an average of 10 minite miles

[@hiimfredful]

bekele is the king of medium distance running

[@jm44537]

great video

[@joeyoshs]

Its kinda funny. It's beautiful to watch these videos as an outsider, but to be running this is sure pain.

[@trackstrbrotha]

x-c runners do it longer but marathoners do it forever! I like track relays but like the openness of x-c running

[@ajn9494]

@poonkinator I don't listen during, but before a race or something.....can't beat it

[@FrankieOC562]

That last straight away...

[@maagman]

"Look at Mills, Look at Mills!!" Second only to "Do You Believe In Miracles."

[@metsrule660]

@finishingkick94 its the song from rudy, i dont know the title but look up theme song from rudy idk haha

[@Realverynice]

You either ran today or you didn't, Test your faith daily: Running streak is 4461 days, or 637 weeks and 2 days or 13 yrs 2.5 months and counting!

[@LordCarringtan]

Awesome Awesome Awesome

[@rmante06]
