World Record Progression: The 5000m

[@Drone_101]

The mm and cm pop up you have at 1:15 are not the imperial system, those are all metric units. Imperial is feet, yards and miles which I'm sure you're familiar with.

These videos of world record progression are amazing. Really puts the results into context! Would love to see more like these

Watching Haile take down the mark by 11 seconds made me cry all those years ago, and every time I watch it, I well up. Courage.

[@robertmclane]

I swear you and @SummoningSalt are two sides of the same coin. Absolutely amazing documentation, narration and information. The hours you put in to research, editing and creating these historic videos is truly the best thing ever. Thank you for all you do in running history and news!

[@polarbearstrengthwsm464]

Great video! Love watching these world record progression videos! I put this in your comments before but I wanted to say this again in case you never saw it. I think an amazing video idea would be the circus dumbbell world record progression! That would be a sick video for us strength fans of the channel that found you from the log and deadlift videos. Keep up the great work!

Interesting that the tremendous time drops in the 90s have stopped. Only slight improvement in 25 years. Have you read The Slummer? They get under 12:20, albeit in 2085!

Get out there y’all and break some records in the new year!

[@Otto910]

Bruh, how can I train 1600k a year and still get clapped by two dudes born in the 18th century? That's wild.

[@maddiekits]

Maybe because that isn't actually that much volume lol? They might have been doing that much even unstructured. Modern competitors are doing like 3-4x that.

[@Otto910]

@@maddiekits And I am not claiming to be a "competitor" or whatever that word means for you. I'm just a guy that likes to go on a run about four times a week. Yet I'm still probably in the top 2% or so of runners in the entire population with my times. And you still have to keep in mind that we're talking about the early 19th century here. Any form of organized training hasn't even been invented yet but these guys are still running mightily impressive times for that.

[@TheAmazingHuman-Man]

I went on a slight tangent to research Gunder Hagg because I noticed he was running barefoot I think in the video (though it seems like he did commonly race in the thin shoes of the day). One article explained his training in great detail. I didn’t read it all, but noticed lots of photos and mention of running in snow. He was from Sweden after all. One photo of him running with a few teammates made me laugh because it’s nearly waist deep snow. Like these guys really lived on a different earth.

[@ZoeylaRose]

They had organised training obviously not on a modern medical and scientific standard but organised training is old as fuck even the Roman Gladiators had organisied training​@@Otto910

[@ariii_mariii]

I doubt I’ll see it in my lifetime, but I have no doubt that sub 12 is possible.

[@paulwilliams8389]

Interesting possibility. I can remember watching Aouita becoming the first man to break 13 minutes and I would have laughed at the idea that someone could run 12mins 30 at the time but that could well happen in the next year or two. Maybe in fifty years time 12-30 will just seem like an ordinary time at international level and we will see someone running under 12 mins.

[@shadowclaw878]

I would have thought that the 100m is probably a lot more recognisable than the 5000m

[@justaustin5940]

W video 🤝🏿

[@Dojocartwheel]

I find it so crazy that dudes were running low 14s in the 1920s running twice a week on diets of beer and bread. Like…imagine putting those dudes through 6 months of lactate threshold training and giving them a pair of vaporflys on a mondo track. They would have been running 13:40s lmao

[@aroundandround]

35:28 But it wasn’t the “last WR anyone would ever see in the 5000” at the making of this video.

[@Bweyg]

36:18 He ran the last 100m in 10.3 seconds, he was .71 seconds off of Usian Bolt's world record of 9.58 100m sprint. That just goes to show that if you can run fast in long distance, you can SURE as HELL run fast in short distances, but it doesn't work the other way around. That is amazing he was able to do that after already running 4,900m at close to 4 minutes per mile pace!

[@johnnathan5894]

Wrong, that isnt the 4900m line, almost all professional tracks, that line is still on the curve, you can see the start line further behind the straight away, follow the dotted lines. Was probably more like 12 or 13 seconds. And given he had a running start, thats like a 13 or 14 second 100m, very pedestrian, still impressive for being at the end of a 5k tho.

[@Bweyg]

@@johnnathan5894 Most people run about 16 seconds or so for 100m so sub 14 and sub 13 is way beyond "pedestrian". Though you're probably right, it's probably 13.1 seconds or so. So on my best sprinting day as a freshman in hs, he's still beating me by .2 seconds in 100m, after already running 4.9k. Incredible. No sprinters could get anywhere NEAR this time in the 5k.

[@johnnathan5894]

@@Bweyg i agree that sprinters are generally less adapted to distance running than the other way around. Years ago mo farah ran like 12.5 all out in a 100m, many are skeptical if that is really his fastest tho, anyways 12.5 is getting absolutely dusted in pro 100m races, wont even win highschool meets with that. Decathaletes who basically only train for sprinting and field events, have to run the 1500m, with pretty much no direct training, many run it in around 4:30, some around 4:00, which is an ok to pretty good highschool time. though your argument is definitely true once the distance is stretched out further, usain bolts 10000 time is definitely god awful.

[@nvan78]

Are carbon shoes good for a at least a second a lap for an elite distance runner. Asking for a friend.

[@Otto910]

Carbon shoes are only good for street racing. If you want to run on the track, spikes are the fastest shoes.

[@NasierOmran]

I improved my 60 and 100m slightly just by switching to carbon plated shoes. So yes it makes a slight difference.

[@Thegardener87]

Being "good" is relative. There will always be someone faster and there will always be someone slower. If you train a little, and in a few months you run a bit faster, then that is very good. Don't measure yourself against others, try to improve yourself and I'm sure you will find a love for running

[@randomhuman19]

WTH! 22:50

[@tizioincognito.3330]

I personally think that Bekele's records are different than what Cheptegei run. We need to consider that there was Coronavirus that year. He could have used doping to increase performances using the fact that travel was almost banned. Then use also the shoe technology and time is more feasible. These last years he did not even come close to his record races.

[@crimsonreaper835]

He ran 12:41 chasing Aregawi with a very fast finish, maybe not quite equal to 12:35 but, several guys indicated near WR shape last season (Aregawi, Cheptegei, Kiplimo, Kejelcha)

[@jeffreyp2449]

Why did video need to be blurred? Cool video.

[@RunnerBoi]

In very rare cases, some companies are so protective of their content that they'll block your entire video from being seen if you use one too many seconds of it. It's very frustrating to deal with, so blurring footage intermittingly/using very short segments is the only way around it.

Has no one thaught of doing an any% run and skip some laps ?

[@geonwilliams]

That's the 100m

[@porcupinecraig]

So I have to wonder why the WR is 12:35, but the olympic record is only 12:57 Suspicious and really, since the 11 second drop, I lost confidence in the world track scene being clean. It isn't just pacing and shoes. They are using stuff. I stopped paying attention anymore.

[@cronikvialo5463]

Almost smart enough to understand that there is no pacers in the olympics

[@adaptablerubenvideos3097]

Probably because of the fact there is only a chance every 4 years in the olympics to try it and the other fact that there are no pacers or pacing tech allowed making it harder to run consistently

[@geonwilliams]

Also the gold is more important than WR at Olympics so it makes 'tactical' (i.e. slower) races more likely.

[@paulwilliams8389]

Major championship races tend to be slower and more tactical - it's rare for athletes to hit the front and make the pace for fear of blowing up and ruining their own chances.
