The UNBEATABLE JOSHUA CHEPTEGEI || THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST DISTANCE RUNNER IN THE WORLD!

----
Joshua Cheptegei is a beast, no question about it. Over the past 2 months, he's broken 2 separate world records (Road 10k - 26:38, Road 5k - 12:51) and he did it in style. Beyond this, over the past 12 months, he's won the World Cross Country Championships, he's won the World Track & Field Championships in the 10,000 meters, and he was the Diamond League Champion in the 5,000 meters, which isn't even his best distance.
After breaking the 5k world record with an amazing time of 12:51 (2:34 / KM) on February 16, 2020, it seems as though Joshua is headed to a new level of distance running glory.

8 weeks ago I started running for the first time since 2008 and today I achieved 28minutes in 5.01km. My first run was 2km at 15 minutes. Felt like I will never run a 5km again. Now here I am watching runners and feeling motivated. Thanks for the high quality and well resourced videos.

Anxious to see him at the half marathon distance, going from a 4:08 pace to a "slow" 4:30 is going to feel like an easy tempo run. Great video (and runner).

[@nassermercy1472]

Thanks to give us a great video

[@tianl98765]

this guy might break the 5k record on track.. he's got the gut to push the pace early.. which is very special and hard even for the elites

[@Ron23604]

I believe he can really break the track records but I feel he is so much focused on roads . I hope he I hope he breaks them that would be something so special for us Ugandans 😆

[@tianl98765]

Yeah I feel that at that age, most runners really just focus on the track.. and then transfer to the roads when they are much older. If this guy keeps going like this he might be onto something real special

[@ThePremez]

Ngl I don't see anybody beating Bekele's record in the next 6-7 years at least. I've never seen a middle distance runner like Bekele. Ever.

[@janschneider8647]

He is wearing shoes that allow people to increase running efficiency by 4%... Just making some maths 12:51 = 771 seconds 771 times 1.04 = 801.84 = 13:11.8 seconds. Only with wearing turbo spikes, he might get close to the current track WR standing at 12:37. In the case of the 10km WR, 26:38 = 1598 seconds, 1598 * 1.04 = 1661.92 = 27:41.92, far far away from 26:17. Amazing human running performances or amazing technological innovations? what do you want to see?

[@tianl98765]

Well on track with the spikes you have the gain of probably more than 4%.. and there is also the extra help from the ease of pacing

The same way Kipchoge and Bekele worked their way up from shorter distances to Marathon dominating athletes, I believe Cheptegei is also going to be a powerhouse in the road marathon field. Cheptegei will continue to push the bar higher with faster times than both Kipchoge and Bekele will ever produce. Cheptegei will be the next person to set a new Marathon world record after Bekele or Kipchoge set it. I say no more than 4-5 years time. Uganda will be the proud owner of the fastest official marathon time. Kenya and Ethiopia, watch out!

TRP. Well done. An excellent video and fantastic commentary throughout. I have previously "ranted" about it being unlikely that World Records will be broken at these Olympics. Based on observations from previous Games that end up being strategic and relatively slow, with sitters/kickers powering home over the last 400 to 1200m. But... with Cheptegei in the field, he is likely to push the pace from the front. Then anything could happen, including WR?? or kickers recording fast times by hanging on the leader. What a great Olympics to look forward to! Cheers.

Uganda has many good runners but the government better had never put almost any efforts in supporting them but recently they started slowly to include them in the national budget. It's so hard to even make it because many good runners with a talent are poor and got no chance to even prove themselves the sport still lacks sport from the government. But proud to see cheptegi work against all those odds.
