The Marathon World Record Is Getting Weird...

Get that bag 💼 yessir

[@Admiral642]

i have one its nice and i like it no problems, but one thing ive noticed is the act of removing and replacing your cards/ids tends to wear them down quite a bit with them all rubbing on each other, as opposed to being sleeved and protected like a larger wallet, just a little tradeoff, otherwise dig it. A couple pennies for people if theyre curious

[@cartert147]

I would just like to compliment you on how well-spoken, thorough, and educational you always are!! Keep up the great work for this awesome sport!

Ads are really frustrating to watch but I am happy that you've made it to sponsorship status. Well done my guy.

[@anthonygarcia49]

I was never ever excited about running until I found this channel. Now I can’t stop watching it

[@pinkstreakspeedgolf1738]

Gidey's stride is something to behold. No wasted energy, basically perfection.

[@cesarzoghbi4695]

Is beauty at movement the best form for elites females ever!

[@Williamottelucas]

For that reason, I almost enjoy watching her run more than I do watching Eliot!

[@pinkstreakspeedgolf1738]

@@Williamottelucas I agree totally! I do like Kipchoge's stride because He and I are the same height!!! I want to emulate and replicate it!

[@carlhuber4544]

@@pinkstreakspeedgolf1738 just run how it feels good for you. There is no benefit in trying to mimic someone else’s stride. That’s why there are so many different running forms amongst elite runners.

[@Tenchi707]

You should watch David Rudisha if you are into running form

[@mathieudube6907]

The men actually had quite an average year. It proved Kipchoges dominance is greater than ever. Not only did he obviously have the top two times but the 3rd and 4th fastest times were in races following Kipchoge. You have to go all the way down to the 5th fastest time to find a winning performance outside of Kipchoge.

[@pato20995]

Bekele has the third time, no Kipchoge there

[@mathieudube6907]

@@pato20995this thread is referring to marathons raced in 2022. Bekele has not run a fast time since 2019.

[@stenna9274]

The flow, smoothness, efficiency and composure of Gidey’s running technique is literally miles ahead of any other female runner. She’s really something special.

[@9876432234545]

Dang, I’ve know about Gidey for awhile. Always thought she was a guy until I saw this comment

[@krista2216]

I wish Gidey the best with this one. I remember our amazement that she not only ran a good time on her first half marathon, she broke the world record. She has what it takes, I believe it

[@johannsebastianbach1649]

Gidey’s press conference comments will be a great way to tell how she’s feeling. At the Valencia Half marathon she said she thinks she could pull of a 62:30, which she didn’t quite hit, but she still smashed it. From what I understand from comments from her coach in the recent NNRunning video featuring her, she wants to take on the marathon world record. So I believe she’s planning and training for that 2:14:04 time to go down. I guess we’ll see. It’s been a long wait, but I have a feeling she can do it.

[@martinst8764]

You forgot to "pass the question off" to us!!! YES.... I think Gidey will do it. What you said at 7.40 was marvellous - a most intriguing metaphor!

[@jgray2718]

Oooh, channel's getting big. Congrats on the sponsorship, I got my Dad a Ridge wallet for his birthday off a different channel sponsorship and it's pretty nice.

[@noctonalsoundscapes2832]

your channel is fantastic - thanks for great content and delivery!

[@sajrra]

He manages to get me hyped for something which was previously way under my radar. Letesenbet Gideys' performance will hook me to the screens!

[@dominofuel8050]

This is gonna be really interesting to watch. Clearly Gidey has an insane amount of fitness and has proven her endurance all the way up the world record list. The marathon truly is a different beast though. My guess is she runs strong in Valencia but not unbelievable, maybe a 2:18, but with time and some focused attention on being able to hold pace for that long, I think she's a 2:12 girl at her peak.

[@johannsebastianbach1649]

I wouldn’t count her out on a WR Debut. I think sub 2:16 is possible. If literally everything goes perfect for her, she runs a 2:12-2:13. I guess we’ll see what she says at the press conference.

[@mathieudube6907]

This year has seen many marathon debutantes run fantastically fast times. Gidey has better form and pedigree than all of them. Based on recent results and times on the womens side there is no reason to suggest she wont put up a super time.

[@johannsebastianbach1649]

@@mathieudube6907 Yehualaw and Ayana both broke the debut world record. Gidey is arguably stronger than them both, running a 10k world record just short of sub 29 minutes like nothing, kind of like Ayana’s world record at Rio. And let’s not forget Gidey absolutely destroying Yehualaw at the Valencia marathon. Yehualaw is an incredibly strong athlete, but Gidey just has the pedigree over her. More speed and better endurance.

[@specialk7209]

She has a really, long, quick & fluid stride…. All the best!😃

The IAAF has already nominated their 10 athletes as contenders for the Female World Athlete of the Year 2022, I wish they had waited for the results of this year’s Valencia marathon because Letesenbet Gidey wasn’t nominated.

[@tazjk79]

To be honest i don't even like marathon that much. and i still find it kinda boring to watch, but and the same time i find it so damn fascinating. before i stubled over this channel, i didn't even know how crazy it is. So thanks for opening my eyes to this sport, it is truely fascinating what they can achieve :)

[@spencergambrell7819]

Yeah. A 2:14 debut would be crazy…. She’s gonna run 2:12

[@BillNanson]

I remember when a 2:14 debut would have been considered strong for the men!

[@wesleytwiggs7687]

We gotta stop calling the Brazilian’s mile split in the New York marathon “the fastest split in marathon history.” HE DIDNT FINISH. If I go out there and burn up a 4:15 mile and DNF, am I now the holder of the fastest split in marathon history? Of course not.

[@thedailystride5407]

The only counter that would be to say that Do Nascimento made it past 20 miles at a fast pace. Way beyond your average runner.

I can't wait to see Gidey in a marathon. I'm hoping she has an incredible race, but I'm not counting on it. She could be merely good, like Hellen Obiri. She could get a cold or a cramp or something. It could be 80 degrees F., who knows? Or she could blow our minds. She's spoiled us with all those world records. I'd love to see her break the world record, but it's a big ask.

It must also be noted that this year alone has also seen the most number of athletes from Africa failing doping tests so the question remains, how many of the times for all men and women should have an * next to them. There is a massive issue in Kenya with the KADA and WADA are IOC are consider banning the country from the Olympics. All may not be what it appears.

[@aaroncobia9334]

We have to start to wonder if it's the technology in the shoes that are making such an impact I get that training has advanced but I feel like the shoes are playing a larger role in these times

[@caseysmith544]

Yes, I wonder that too, you do see those in super running shoes doing most of the world records/national records, not just the Nike models but others too that use a type of TPU heated midsole and a carbon fiber plate.

[@runcaz7802]

It's a given. It's also to be expected. Today's athletes will be complaining 20 years from now about the new technology they didn't have. There's no end to it.

[@brentburnett6658]

Shoe technology helps runners avoid injury and have better recovery. From training to racing that helps each runners progressions time wise. Nothing worse then getting injured and having to start over on your fitness. With that said, the runners still have to run and have the endurance. Running long distances is one thing but been harder when racing. There is a pain but the faster we go the faster the pain stops. Lol

Why is Kipchoges sub 2 hour mile not the WR, is it because he had pacers?

His miles were extremely consistent and measured. He ran quicker miles at Berlin this year. Saying thay no mile in either race was sub 4.20

[@donshields2379]

That is one of the reasons. Basically it was a science experiment. The pacers and the lead vehicle with the clock helped with wind resistance. I believe the shoes were one of the reasons. It still doesn't take away the fact he ran that fast.

This is all very weird. In any other distance,the differences in times,are seconds( some even less),and this for decades. In the Marathon,its minutes,many minutes from 30,20,10,5, etc years ago. Dont tell me that is abaut the shoes,please. And all the athletes from the same 2 countries. And also dont tell me, that is because of the altitude they were born and train,because Nowadays any professional Athlete does altitude training in a regular basis. There is something more than shoes,altitude,training,etc. Any Marathon professional Athlete Nowadays,have the same training conditions that everyone else,so must be something else. Iam not saying that is the same that happened in the 80's with the RDA,and Soviet union,but something fishy its behind all this insane Records,that some years ago nobody thought were possible. 🤔🤔🤔
