RIP Kelvin Kiptum

[@ddahstan6876]

RIP the Great K. Kiptum. You were destined to achieve greatness each step of the way!!!

[@NoNameNoLastName]

Watched this and went for a run - and noticed how tense I was keeping my shoulders. Thanks!

[@GittinNGiven]

Thank you I'm 55 years old & running my first half marathon in Aruba June 2nd and this is very helpful.

[@JamesDunne]

Glad you found it helpful. Best of luck!!

[@halmo68]

Bonne course 🏃🏻

[@andrukthegreat]

This man was unreal he was so flawless in his running. SHoCKING HE DIEd SO SO PREMATURELY. He was a phenimenon

[@luckyspurs]

So sad I'm not going to see the great man running through Greenwich tomorrow. He was incredible last year in the rain. Running 2.01.25 (then just 16 seconds off the world record) at the London Marathon, before smashing it in Chicago.

[@nichokituku4799]

During the second half of London he was crazy fast. He missed a bottle and exploded to fast speed that the commentators thought he got it wrong... By the end he registered the fastest second half of marathon on a rainy slippery surface. We will miss him.

[@lennyfitzgerald4190]

Yes always good stuff here, & do you ever have any specifics to share about & w/us sprinters??

[@shy_sorai_vlogs]

Whoa, so sad he isn't with us anymore. He was and still is a legend! I just posted a lackluster run update. But I am getting back on it now. 👟💕

[@sundayrunday7586]

James, how’s your running going? Miss seeing you in your videos!! Hope you’re well. Thanks for continuing to bring us content. 🫶

[@rebeccamartel3610]

Lawrence van lingen talks about that head movement shift being about greater stability and an advantage in carrying head weight

[@johnmcdonagh374]

Great video! Thank you!

[@natesilvers2166]

He ran built his foundation in his youth running barefoot, it's that simple. Same as Kipchoge, Bekele, Haile, Chelimo, Bikila, Bolt, Rudisha etc. Trying to figure out how to run with good form wearing shoes is like trying to learn how to play darts with a blindfold on.

[@shrikantjangam]

This is really nice.. hope this will help me

[@paxundpeace9970]

Brigid Kosgei does has this crossmotion from side to side too. Still Assefa in Berlin was incredible

[@nichokituku4799]

Was waiting to hear you mention how his foot lands with no or very minimal pronation. A keen observation of how his foot lands resembles that of Jacob ingebrigtsen of norway. Very rare in distance runners. Was that a strength or a weakness?

[@aristodiga82]

talking about elbow, this is why I find it strange that most running tips always said keep your elbows at 90° angle. The reality is that they are never on 90° angle. always smaller than that. You can force it, but it will make your lower arms feel heavy. It's time to change that theory.

[@ozzy9708]

Yes your shoulders and lats provide the weight to deliver forward momentum. Not arms and elbows

[@youpigirl5731]

tout a fait d'accord avec @ozzy9708. Je remarque également que les coureurs(euses) africains ayant cette postion de bras très pliés, sont également très cambrés, donc, peut être pour mieux ouvrir la cage thoracique. Mais il faut avoir de bons ischio jambiers

[@nitishsingh8298]

Legend he was. ✨✨💫

[@youpigirl5731]

Excellente analyse. Le déhanchement des épaules de Kelvin me fait un peu penser aux mouvements des épaules de Jim Walmsley, dans une moindre mesure. Jim aurait ce déhanchement un peu plus à la verticale car il est très élastique sur ses jambes

[@paxundpeace9970]

Remarkable video about him. He will never be forgotten. RIP Kelvin Kiptum

[@JamesDunne]

Yes indeed! Once in a lifetime athlete.

[@paxundpeace9970]

Pro marathon runners that qualify for the olympics normaly run between 100 and 115 miles during peak weeks and average about 90 miles a week for comparison.

[@JamesDunne]

Yep. Quite a difference hey?!

[@suzannehock7527]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@JamesDunne]

Glad you think so. Thanks!

[@alpineassault]

I guess it would really come down to trying to incorporate the mechanics of textbook good form with your own biomechanics of what is comfortable for you then to find the best outcome with both ingredients.

[@nomvonglismerced4311]

side to side prevents having to strike the ground pronated which is a weaker strike

[@benjamin.kelley]

Smooth is fast. I have a slightly side to side motion like that as well, but about 2 and 1/2 minutes per mile slower haha

[@k.prasannavenkateshkasturi2158]

THANKS BROTHER.

[@JamesDunne]

You’re welcome!

[@English.runner.en.Espana]

It’s funny. Your watching the video and suddenly realise that you will never see him run again. Truly sad. A loss for humanity and some big big shoes to fill. X

[@nichokituku4799]

He was the perfect man to take over from Kipchoge. He could have raised the bar higher.

[@user-kp8un2dm6n]

that´s right ! God i miss him

[@muene123]

Could it be that Kiptum was leading the movement with his hip and turning the upper body toward the leading leg and therefore having this pendulum in the upper body? Like Jan Frodeno at the end of his career (credit to van Lingen).

[@gazza2933]

My running form is not very good. Thank you for this. Rest In Peace Kelvin Kiptum. 💐 Good Luck to everyone taking part in The London Marathon.

[@Fianettaauxel2013Auxel-yz9ru]

Like Mo Farah style.

[@wingwalker007]

Great runner, such a shame. I have a question James, I’m a floppy foot runner and I’m looking at dorsiflection of my foot. I have good ankle flexibility. My plan is to get to the gym on the treadmill to get time in with conscious technique and try to build that muscle memory. Do you have any drills that would help with building good form in relation to foot position.

[@mattwoodywoodRT]

He was a legend 🌟

[@JamesDunne]

once in a lifetime athlete

[@Fernandez218]

running 13mph for almost 2 hours exactly ... lol is insane. i can barely do 9mph for 1 mile.

[@samkelonzama9553]

This is talking to me, i am one of the best runners but i still fail to focus on my running posture

[@Jimlee412]

Till we meet again Kiptum

[@ailux.]

He is literally floating.

[@Gopi-kq5cm]

❤

[@nickweidman]

RIP brother

[@dan27music]

I run 10 miles every other week or so, but afterwards I have sore knees. I have some decent Nike shoes, I don't overstride and try to land my feet under my body. What am I doing wrong?

[@MorbidGalaxy]

knee pain isnt always bad, otherwise it could be that you are running to many hills or not stretching properly. Could also be some other biomechanical issue consider running on some softer surface if you are running on road or sidewalk

[@beansandrunning]

Usually it is one of this three options: 1. You are running too much too early and your bone density, ligaments and muscles did not adapt properly yet. 2. Your glutes (medius and minimus) are not well trained. 3. You ankles are not mobile (knee to wall test)

[@wanjemulina3423]

Running is triggering folliculitis on my thighs and legs due to heavy sweating.

[@m.r5072]

💙💙💙💙

[@fullfree1812]

RIP Kelvin

[@Jay-ix4hp]

God bless him .im sure those athletes have no idea about what you just saying

[@user-wu7yy3gb1q]

He won't coz he's no more. RIP KIPTUM

[@JasonPitts-vl9kp]

rip KELVIN KIPTUM

[@JerfCycles]

Didn’t Eliud Kipchoge run a sub 2 hour marathon?

[@michaelhenry4405]

No. He ran a sub 2hr marathon distance under specific conditions. But it was not a marathon event. Kiptum is the world record marathon holder.

[@GaryMillerUK]

Special bouncy shoes, a team of pacemakers, lasers IIRC. It was still impressive, but nothing like a real marathon race.

[@ArodWinterbornSteed]

Look at his belly button. He might have swagger in the shoulders and hips but his centre of mass is moving smoothly in a straight line. Compare that to the stock footage guy - bobbing up and down and this way and that. The point is to have all of your movements aggregate into motion only in the direction you are running- without any residual movement leftover that must then be compensated.

[@TheAxtrex]

Funny how his "flawed" running style suddenly becomes unique and something great, only after you break WR. BUT before was nothing but mediocre running form and tecnique

[@gohardnation7769]

I cannot be the only one thinking his dea** was a murder. Seizing greatness before he re-wrote every distance record there is. Rest King-

[@alfasaurus362]

I dont think it was murder, just a very bad luck. But i understand why some people think that way cauz he was just popping up and training to his first olympics to break more records, its insane how this talent is long way gone now.

[@ispanka79]

In my opinion Kiptum's technique wasn't good. Sorry 🤷‍♀
