ELIUD KIPCHOGE || MAKING A WORLD RECORD || THE MEN'S MARATHON

On September 16, 2018, Eliud Kipchoge broke the World Record in the Marathon by running a 2:01:39. This time absolutely shattered the previous world record, beating it by 1 minute and 18 seconds.
In this video, I take a deep dive into Eliud Kipchoge's career, and analyze exactly how this world record was run.
Enjoy!

[@tadiwac1]

Who’s here after he just broke the 2 hour mark!!!!!!!!

[@websterkamoro42]

Me

[@valentinengare3022]

Me.

[@joewillburn]

Fact is that this man has such a powerful mindset that he is mentally unbeatable. I believe his mind is his greatest asset and it's that which gives him the edge he has over his rivals.

[@trishaashraf]

Well said!

[@venaterox867]

And also an edge over himself which allows him to keep pushing forward

[@authurchingwe5534]

I totally agree with you, the way he thinks is amazing

[@amillejj.428]

I totally agree with you

[@felistergatwiri7134]

Like he can even pace himself and still run 2:02! The silver and bronze medalists owe their great times to him. They're always running with a world champion pacing them the whole race

[@nicksonkoh]

Kipchoge is my inspiration! Started running again 2 years back with a struggle to even complete 1.6km and 2 years down, I have hit 10km in under 60mins personal best and 12km longest distance covered. Aiming to cover half-marathon in 2019 and full marathon in 2020! Dreams are what pushes us!!!

[@kiswahilikitukuzwe2547]

Your dreams are valid.

[@kiswahilikitukuzwe2547]

Dude, Eliud Kipchoge may be the best marathoner of all time but you are the best narrator of a documentary ever! I don't know how many times I have watched this video just because of your soothing voice and narration skills!

[@adamdooley2097]

[@amillejj.428]

He's tidy!!

[@dfwshackleton]

Dude looks fresher after completing WR marathon than I do after jogging a 440.

[@strydermccormick6737]

Waldo Jones can relate

[@seededsoul]

Fresher than me after running to the mailbox in my boxers

[@RavishingSailor]

Lol I was thinking the same thing

[@smartguy9951]

Jog?

[@amillejj.428]

Relatable😂

[@kevoprezzo]

G.O.A.T 🐐 He is the Most Humble Athlete of All Time.

[@freedomm]

When Kipchoge beat greats El Gherrouj and Bekele to become world champ in 2003 at just 18 years old, we knew a legend had been born. And 15 years later, he delivered big time.

[@freedomm]

@Dan Chaplin There was enough time to recover and if they were exhausted, they wouldn’t have beaten that world class field behind them.

[@fathercarras28]

I have been struggling with depression: I started to walk to the bus stop, a huge physical achievement for me, I never exercise. I am inspired by Kipchoge.

[@victorgarciavargas8056]

Kenya, a land of amazing runners. Kipchoge, you're just a mindblowing athlete.

[@nakurusportschannel4211]

And am a proud kenyan.

[@Lyrics-bi8ig]

i have never felt this proud to be kenyan. may God bless Kipchoge.

[@Njeri_123]

Same here. Proudly 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@nasthek156]

What an awesome video. So much detail put into it. Really great to see Kipchoge's early videos on XC and track, and then how we switched smoothly to road racing where he has become a GOAT at the marathon distance. It is very clear; he always had the talent and the speed to perform at the highest level, but more importantly he has put a very hard, honest and humble work over the years that have made him become what is today. Physically he is insane, but his mental approach to life and this discipline is just unbelievable.

[@TotalRunningProductions]

Glad you enjoyed! And, yes, Kipchoge's mental attitude certainly helped him become one of the greatest marathoner's of all time. The guy really is amazing.

[@NYONAMATENDE]

Well done Kipchoge. A classic example of turning an obstacle into a stepping stone to reach even greater heights.

[@JohnSmith-mo2sv]

kipchoge be like "watch me run 10 minutes faster than your best 5k 8 times in a row"

[@euniquelyeunice1821]

🤣🤣👌🏼

[@valar_dohaeris7387]

without rest too... what a legend

[@conradhoffmanhoffman4517]

[@pacman804]

some1 make this Man a Movie already. It wasnt easy but with such determination & focus beggars could fly. Pongezi Kipchoge👏.Proudly🇰🇪

[@2012lucille]

I came here for inspiration and I got it.

[@Njeri_123]

Lesson: do not feel bad when you fail. Failure is part of becoming successful. Eliud Kipchoge 'failed' a couple of times, only to later become the legend or, as they call him in his hometown, The Beast. G.O.A.T.

[@Nderitu.G]

My peoples

[@frankragetti531]

Feeling bad when you fail is a natural human feeling. I would rather tell my children not to fight against that, rather to try again and again till your results do not allow those feelings to happen.

[@meshackkirui4951]

This is ineded a great analysis. Thanks for whoever posted this. Kipchoge is indeed a marathon legend, no doubt

[@tritram2001]

Glad he failed to qualify for the Olympics that led to the greatest marathoner! Imagine if he qualified the 2012 Olympics and not jump to the marathon. Then we might not have seen the greatest marathoner runner!

[@kiswahilikitukuzwe2547]

Tri Tram He did qualify for the 2012 Olympics alright, but did not make the Kenyan Olympic team at the trials since only the top three qualifiers per event per country have a chance to be selected to go to the Olympics.

[@cy8685]

Tri Tram - Regardless of Kipchoge's path he would have run the marathon eventually. Nearly all great distance runners eventually do.

[@kiswahilikitukuzwe2547]

Tri Tram It has long been said that it is harder to make it to the Kenyan Olympic team than to win an Olympic medal!

[@nathanford2002]

Thank you for taking the time to create this video, fantastic! greetings from England.

[@TotalRunningProductions]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@tescoprimark1299]

It takes 8 years for him to find his best .... that’s a lesson guys!

[@websterkamoro42]

And now he's done it under 2 hours

[@philipkori3208]

Excellent job putting together this video. In Kenya, we call Eliud Kipchoge "engine kubwa" (Big engine).

[@geoffreyotieno3601]

That is not true but we will let you go with it. Engine kubwa was Moses Mosop as was called by his fellow athetes

[@philipkori3208]

Ok. I stand corrected.

[@iamsamsamiam1673]

Kipchoge, the Legend, love from Ethiopia 💚💛❤️

[@asheru9254]

He's from Kenya

[@thedigitalcrescendo6552]

Wow. Really cool to see Kipchoge’s earlier days! Great video! Keep them coming!

[@umaxi96]

The music, the editing, the narrating - my favorite running channel!

[@jameshaney171]

As I said before, Kipchoge is a trend setter for the next generation of great Kenyan runners. I can't wait to see the next generation of great Kenyan runners. Sub 201 is just a foregone conclusion.

[@gregst7406]

Congratulations sir on a monumental achievement!!!... seemingly impossible for most humans and an inspiration to us all👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@DnBarPoet77]

Great job documenting Eliud Kipchoge's amazing career!

[@zundee4182]

an video well executed, combing scientific analysis without making it sound like a lecture

[@FarazKhan-rw6ul]

Best runner in the world💪💪

[@iam6785]

Whether the Monza course is recognized or not,it's important to remember it was a FULL marathon and Kipchoge ran the whole course. A full marathon which he clocked 2.00.45. Pacers have never ran on behalf of someone,, it is just a psychological gimmick,..the athlete still puts in the work... Of note , in Berlin 2018,he ran faster without pacers than with pacers .And that,in the secold half of the marathon. So no need to take from his achievement by giving all sorts of invalid reasons from the so-called 'experts' who have never finished a marathon.

[@georgefranko8373]

This was a very well put together video. You've earned a subscriber, keep producing quality content.

“In life, the idea is to be happy. So, I believe in calm, simple, low-profile life. You live simple, you train hard, and live an honest life. Then you are free.” -Eliud Kipchoge

[@muthonikimondo6758]

And then again Today 12.10.2019 He made history First man/human to run 42km in just under 2hrs! INEOS 1:59 Kipchoge G.O.A.T 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@booklover3959]

This was a very well put together video with a professional quality. Very informative and went above and beyond. Eliud Kipchoge is AMAZING. The Breaking 2 Hour project seemed kind of silly but it proved how impressive his world record was because it showed how close he was in a real marathon. His times in other marathons are amazing too.

[@jwbraman]

Fantastic job presenting Eliud's march to fame. One technical point: near the end, the chart with his 5K splits for Berlin record are way off. In fact, the average 5K was 14:25, but chart numbers yield 14:30; a difference of over 40 seconds over 26.2 miles! The narrator also quotes at least two different splits times different than those listed in the chart.

[@viviannbii]

And now he has finally broken the 2hr limit. 1:59:40! Legend!

[@ganeshsingh3728]

The GREATEST marathon runner ever.. Awesome video inspiring

[@thejaramogi1]

After winning a 5000 gold for Kenya, I was really disappointing when he was 3rd or 2nd afterwards! Even those achievements were great on their own! It is remarkable that he was a Marathon man all along and never gave up! We have now 2 great Kipchoges!!!! Even-though not related!

[@erickariuki6842]

Mental fortitude. He never gave up

[@mindw0rking]

Cool video, thanks for making it. Kipchoge is inspiration for all runners

[@unclegrandpah8400]

Great video!! He is the Bolt of marathons!!

[@victordali2404]

Your only limitation is your mind! The Bible says that as a man thinks so is he. Putting work to your thoughts and convictions definitely earns great rewards. I`m a proud country man of Eliud Kipchoge. He does himself proud and our country proud and the athletic world proud as well. This man is the GOAT. This is such a wonderfl presentation and very positive. Kept me engaged throughout. Keep up the good work.

[@sniclops15]

I feel like a sub 2:00 is inevitable for this guy. He ran well, and even ran generally faster in his second half than his first. Also, the fact that he didn't collapse after running like most distance runners I've seen tells me that he had more gas left, and that he may have been hindered by the pacers in the starting parts of the race.

[@samotian0331]

This is a late af response but tbh if he's to run under 2 mins it won't happen at a major meet and he'll have to go at it alone, not worrying about the pace of the other runners

Peace be to you! Thanks for this video! I think that it is a true God BLESSED MIRACLE that Mr.Kipchoge has not been SERIOUSLY injured during this EXTRAORDINARYLY long career! No stress fractures, muscle tears, ligament tears, or heat exhaustion; NOTHING!!😃Does anyone know anything about his health history? It's just AMAZING! Does anyone remember when Khalid Khanouchi broke 2:06 ? It's incredible how far these elite marathoners have come! May the good Lord continue to grant Mr.Kipchoge success in his running endeavors! What an AMAZING athlete!
