Running at Marathon Record Pace: The Kipchoge Challenge

I've done the Eliud Kipchoge Marathon Workout Challenge before but now that the record's been broken, running at world record marathon pace is even harder.

Spencer, this unquestionably counts as a completed Kipchoge challenge. Your 1400 meter split was definitely close enough to be in the clear, but then to follow it up with a full 1600 meters in 4:37 is just epic. Congratulations man. To this day this is the first time I've ever seen someone complete this challenge. Can't wait for your 2023 to unfold.

[@randylazer2894]

Doing more than a 5k at 4:37 pace, before a 4:37 mile.....pretty impressive. That also shows progress. You and Allie are both getting stronger. I guess healthy tacos are of benefit!

[@MarkB-vp9ki]

One of the worst feelings in running is when your form is slowly breaking down and there isn't anything you can do about it....then your mind is the only thing that can get you through.

[@tomrankin4530]

Not only was your workout very impressive, it was also entertaining to watch. I can only dream of a 4:37 pace, but you went out and did it. Kudos to you! I am also super impressed that you did not give up after the 1400 and then crushed the 1600. That is some mental discipline!

[@ADAMBLAZEVIC]

This is great, you are on fire. Kipchoge is such a humble athlete, I watched the video about him from GQ, (10 things they can't live without) every football player or other star athletes are talking about their golden watches and supercars and Eliud is just mentioning his notebook where he logs his training, he is the role model.

[@nathanmikulsky2489]

The L&L x Athlete’s special crossover would be crazy

[@jujuloaf755]

Yes, I'd love to see the Young twins attack this challenge! Great work Spence!

[@jungtao]

4.37 is insane to run for 1 mile far much less a whole marathon. Good job. And Kipchoge is the goat!

[@SpeedyBlueBiker1]

That's one tough workout. Starts off easy but quickly escalates into the pain zone.

[@ethan.wroblewski]

Perfect workout for your 5k training! Great video as always!

[@bcrruns1085]

That looked hard!! Good on you for doing the 1600 anyway👍Great video!

[@Thegardener87]

This is a great effort. To run a sub 4:40 mile after those previous efforts is excellent 💪🏻. I'd probably make the 600 but no way am I doing a 2:18 800m rep after the first 3. The twins will do very well if they have a go.

[@danielbreedlove]

This was a fun one to watch. the anticipation for the no watch mile kept me on the edge of my seat

[@chicagobearsfan2334]

im beginning my running journey and i was able to make it to the 600

[@BobBob-uv9fq]

Wow not only running at his pace but making takos during process ,incredible

[@ezekielanderson9055]

King of the Kipchoge challenge

[@donbracci2199]

Great job on the Kipchoge Challenge. And great job slamming some tacos!

[@alirunsfast]

Class video Spencer. I can’t wait to try this!

[@TBasianeyes]

Now imagine running this pace on the road, one misstep and your ankle is toast

[@oximo_]

IMO It’s fair to bank all the time you split faster than race pace throughout the workout and use it when needed 👍

[@sudstahgaming]

That's 3.5 minutes at record pace with breaks in-between, kipoge does it non stop it's literally super hero ability

[@ejhill12]

Your calculated times are incorrect since there are 1609 meters to the mile. His pace is 68.86s per 400

[@teddyjones6837]

Nice workout man!

[@TheLongHaulCoach]

This was a fun challenge and way to get after that 1600! Maybe Allie O could do the female marathon world record challenge!

[@The.RenaissanceMan]

My goodness. ZONE 5 My heart would explode.

[@mirser4912]

I think you’ll be a great marathoner, Spence!!

[@figbootbottom6511]

This dude just said un-human

[@judevanderdussen4258]

Bro I completely count that as accomplished. I think what the workout should be is your average time. So try and hit the paces as best you can but if you are a little fast or slow, just make up for those couple seconds in other reps like you did. Bc it only takes more fitness to hit irregular paces. So just so your average is 4:37, I say you got it. You murdered this challenge bro

[@braydenkenworthy2367]

Calling out high schoolers is wild but also hilarious 😂

[@daveconvoy5793]

Great work Spencer, so unlucky!

[@MK-tk8tb]

Tough workout. Great finish.

[@Beralinond]

Kipchoge broke his own World Record it is 2:01:09 now btw Edit: Guess I commented to early lmao

[@DavidDavid-fp6gv]

Lol same

[@Notnotcam]

Fire video and epic sponsor too! Let’s go SPENCE

[@smscraig]

Still an amazing workout. I love Hello Fresh. It takes all the anxiety out of meal planning.

[@jacobthiessen7027]

I remember back three years ago when you and Ari where trying to find get brooks to pay for Chipotle and now look at you. Both have sponsors and you even nabbed a team-mate 😉 nice vid

[@brandonm8901]

My team uses to do this as a pyramid. Up to the 1200 and back down to the 200. Great session (and a lot easier than getting that mile in)

[@mastergoatee]

Kudos

[@cicirunner]

This workout looks brutal.Ari should have helped run/pace. I say your mile was legit because you had a few seconds cushion from previous reps. That was an impressive finish.

[@ashleytalkington4474]

@LLexandleovloggs that would be such a cool video from y’all!!

[@richardburton9528]

It’s 4:37 per mile not 4:37 for 1600m, so unfortunately you didn’t make it on the 1400 or the 1600m as you didn’t run a mile (1609m)

[@dghost3473]

Are you going to update the challenge to the new record of Kelvin Kiptum?

[@100maxPower]

Kipchoe ran 2:01:09

[@SseriousGgamer3]

Dude I train so hard and I can’t even break a 5 min mile. Imagine 4:37/mile pace for the entire marathon 😂

[@dave8375]

Redo the workout, but have someone pace you with a Tesla + wave light system

[@chrisrouisse1690]

Nice pace

[@EverythingFinance_]

You have a great voice

[@kellycoleman715]

Kipchoge weighs 57 lbs. That’s why he can run so fast for so long.

[@dylananderson7476]

This isn’t loot lake 🤨🤨

[@Shevock]

Nice.

[@Yonkles]

i would instantly fail at 600

[@feifeskufus]

sir, tacos are for everyone

[@FrogJuicee]

I’m trying this workout, but maybe not that fast😂

[@joshuasmith1215]

What do you weigh though?

[@marcoyan7372]

Magma

[@Kevin-nk6lj]

but hold on can we take the seconds you shaved in the 200, 400, 600, 1000 and subtract it from the 1400? youre still under lol. Also love the ginjas.

[@MaxwellChan0]

Third

[@Premovato]

Man this is trash. The 7:58 is the highlight of this. You should have stayed with dad after that 7:58 and keep building

[@bigboy9842]

Haha yeah nah no thanks

[@noahmathews6024]

Second

[@dbduke88]

To run sub-2:02 marathon pace, you need the Kipchoge meal service, "Hello EPO."

[@EmirBalali]

thank you for the laughs!! i almost died :D

[@donshields2379]

Dude, where did you find this information?

[@p2bp2b]

@LLexandleovloggs 🤔🤔

[@jo_cho]

@LLexandleovloggs

[@davidwinston8122]

I think you could easily run that marathon. He only ran 4:37. You run a 3:59. EZ.

[@insanity0854]

No

[@carterpizano]

dawg.

[@stayontrack]

I'd be done already after the 600 lmao

[@gizzykat]

I think taking the Christmas socks off gave you another second. I noticed Kipchoge didn't have his on when he broke the record.

[@mckonal]

what a humbling workout. bet i can not do it for 300 meters.

[@bboyaston.]

I'm up for it!

[@Chris-kp1fx]

Yesssiirrr getting fit

[@YuckiDude]

First

[@Diamondminer-xn3bg]

why not the new wr pace

[@Diamondminer-xn3bg]

nvm lol
