Bro runs more miles than some people drive in a week 💀

Certainly way more than me. I only commute 13km per week lol

I also do the same, because I don’t have a car 😂

[@SuperShowDowns]

I started running 6 monthd ago , im 41. Feel in love, but so sad i didn't start when i was young instead of wasting it drinking booze 😭 my first parkrun 5k was 45 mins and thought i was going to die, a real eye opener to my fitness. I have now got it down to 22mins and run 4 days a week.

[@BlackMant1s]

I started late too. Keep it up and you'll go places. Great job changing course!!!

[@HunterReport]

2:24 marathon is a light session for him 😂😂😂😂😂 next level. 🐐

[@Blobbyo25]

Yeah I follow a few elite marathoners on Strava and they will do 35k at 3:10/km and say "some laid back mileage"

[@I9BlackI1Knight]

People who dont run have no clue how insane his pace is. I encourage everybody to try how long they can hold his pace! After that your Aww and respect for his performance will increase immensly.

[@Itsmekvn]

They cant run that fast bro. Let alone hold it

[@user-fc1dy7yz9j]

Your analysis is always perfect!!!

[@jonahmays]

I know distance runners peak mid-life, but doing all wild training at his age still seems wild. Especially since he’s been running on the world stage for decades!

[@juanpared322]

In my opinion he is redefining what "old" actually means, him and LeBron James.

[@-Erebus]

The mindset of what old is has changed

[@gzfashions]

Old isn’t until you reach mid 60s in my opinion, you really have to filter out what people say and instead believe in yourself believe In your abilities and learn what super focus and flow state is

[@thomaspadilla886]

That track workout is just amazing. So consistent at such a high effort. Long live the king Kipchoge

[@thedailystride5407]

Those long runs are something I don’t think I’d ever be able to do. This guy is crazy good. I think he’ll go around 2:02 but think another world record is a little too much. Would love to be wrong

[@davidpadilla6095]

Can't wait

[@lou8828]

Kipchoge will break the world record again and maybe, maybe under 2:00:00 or very close to it. He can do it. 😊❤

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

If Kipchoge manages to do sub 2 at this race in Berlin, he for me goes down not just as the best marathon runner ever (which he already is) but arguably the greatest athlete ever - period. It's a tough push at age 38, and conditions have to be perfect, but if anybody can do it (with Kiplimo's help as well), it's Kipchoge. Bekele proved as well alongside Kipchoge though that fast times are possible in your late 30s. I'm hoping, hoping, hoping 🤞🤞🤞

[@bobdown5520]

[@RunKdb]

A quote from The Longest Yard remake 'He is so fast, he makes others look not so fast'.

[@ToshiroMifuneSamurai]

What a phenomenal athlete. It would be so great if he would be the one to break the 2 hour barrier in an official marathon. But it will happen someday, someone like Kelvin Kiptum is only 23 and he is already setting these unbelievable times. Under 2 hours will happen.

[@gidifihrer3966]

Anyone else hoping against hope that he might just dip under 2?!?!?!?!?!?

[@szymon6207]

Okay ill do last out from 4 years ago !

[@Thermolizer]

If Kiptum was doing Berlin sub 2 would be almost inevitable from one of them but alone I see Kipchoge going low 2:01 or high 2:00 fastest. Hoping I'm wrong though and Eliud can pull it out of the bag

[@stevelau7694]

If his pacer can keep up a 2 hour flat marathon pace for 30km, good chance Kipchoge can take the final quarter on his own and finish under 2:01 which is likely his realistic goal. It makes a huge difference to allow someone to block the wind and set a pace for most of the marathon. There's a chance Kelvin Kiptum may just try to break the world record himself

[@dianadesilva4877]

I think he's going to break his own record!

All we need now is a good weather on this day... and history will be made. 🇰🇪

[@markusertel602]

The weather is nearly perfect... 2:00:40 Yes, he is one year older, but he has better shoes, it should be not so warm in the second half like last year... And hopefully he has pacers until 25 or 30k. Then also 2:00:20 is possible. But... he is not limited, in a perfect race he maybe also could be under 2h 🤩

[@Madmun357]

if you touch the ground with your heels first, try to land with your forefoot or midfoot, that fixed my shin splits for me.

Your poll should have had *Under 2 Hours* as an option.

[@y3_38]

Hopefully the pacers will be fast and stay for many km

[@stevelau7694]

Good pacers make a huge difference. That's why the top female racers will have a male pacer literally until the final sprint to let them let loose

[@y3_38]

@stevelau7694 yeah, indeed after they drop around 25/30 km the race change completely especially if he is by himself, that's why it's a pity there isn't kiptum, they should gather all the best in a race like that and see what happens

[@RA-lu6mb]

Hmmm, a race where all the best racers compete. I wish they had that too. Oh well. On a separate note, I'm looking forward to the Olympic marathon next year. Should be a great race. 😉

I wouldn’t read too much into his Boston performance. It was super chilly with big, fat gobs of rain drops, not exactly conditions anyone trains for.

[@CTMoney7]

Bro I am running a 20 minute mile right now.

[@user-vz1bb2bk8s]

true runners are comrade marathoners

[@DKH712]

I like your videos a lot but it would really help me if the pace was also shown in Kilometers per hour. As a super casual runner I don't have any intuition on how fast 2:55/kilometer is

[@holythursday1583]

4:00 / Km is 15 Km / h 3:30 / Km is 17 Km / h 3:00 / Km is 20 Km / h 2:55 / Km is www.omnicalculator.com/sports/marathon-pace 2:50 / Km is 21.098 Km / h 2:30 / Km is 24 Km / h

[@alaefarmestatesllc]

It’s fast lol

[@ilivetomorrow]

These speed conversions are fairly easy to remember (and calculate) and should be able to give you rough speed estimates for paces for everything from the elite to amateurs. 2 min/km = 30 km/h 3 min/km = 20 km/h 4 min/km = 15 km/h 5 min/km = 12 km/h 6 min/km = 10 km/h Another way to think about it for the elite is that a HM is 21.1k and is run at slightly under an hour so the speed is slightly above 21.1 km/h. A marathon is run at slightly above 2 hours, so speed is slightly below 21.1 km/h. With these rules you know that 2:55/km is faster than 20 km/h (less than 3 min/km), but slower than 21.1 km/h (marathon time >2h). It's actually around 20.6 km/h so our estimate was fairly good.

[@michaelz9500]

Kipchoge marathon pace is around 21kmph (21kmph x 2 hours) = 42km in 2 hours

[@tompetrie1676]

Divide kilometer by 0.6237...end of story. OR to convert mile pace to kilometer pace, just multiply mile pace times .6237. Take 1 mile (1609.47 meters) and anyone can do the math make conversions.

[@sudstahgaming]

So basically to be the best long distance runner you need to train long distance but being a amateur runner myself running 4:30 mile even for 1 mile is extremely difficult so to be able to do that over 26 miles it literally doesnt seem possible.

[@minolta7i]

and THAT IS the difference...he ain't no AMATEUR!!!!!!!!!!

Doesnt seem that long ago that Wilson Kipsang broke the WR. Now he's almost out of the top 20 best times. Absolutely wild progression in the mens marathon

[@kevinwall5023]

Looks like he is 70 years old. Running a lot ages you

[@thisthat5874]

He’s 44 not 38 the Kenyans are notorious for lying about their age to get into races when they’re younger

[@MarkMetternichPhotographyLLC]

Surely he could run a mere 2.5 seconds faster per mile and beat the 2 hour mark!!!

[@Blobbyo25]

Even 1 second per kilometre is a big difference at that level. It's literally pushing the boundaries of human physiology
