R.I.P to Kelvin Kiptum You will be missed, and so young too :( Godspeed on your next marathon in the world beyond ✊🏃

It sounds like he knows he is potentially trading in longevity for immortality. And I love it. If this is what is required to get under 2 hours for him, go for it. To be the first to break the barrier will be worth the sacrifice of a long career. His name will be etched in history just like Roger Bannisters as the first to go beyond what people thought was possible.

Staying injury free is by far the most important thing that separates the athletes at the very top. So if he can just stay the course without getting burned out or injured he will no doubt achive some fantastic things.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

He is the very top already. Greatness often comes with consequences

[@cybermanne]

@@veganpotterthevegan Consequences, sure. But if the consequences comes before he's able to reap the benefits of the training the greatness will not be as great. My point was that if he gets injurd a few weeks here and there every season, it will probably be enough to derail his progression and maybe even see him regress. But if he can stay injury free with the same kind of training he will be very difficult to deal with for the competition since that will probably be him breaking the 2h barrier. Also, even though he got the world record, I don't think it's a totally given thing that he would beat Kipchoge at the olympics if he has no setbacks and can prepare close to optimally. If Kiptum was to end his carreer today, I think Kipchoge will still be considered the goat by most.

I'm saying if he's able to keep this training up, he's gonna be very difficult to deal with. Nobody knows what combination of intensity and milage is gonna be too much for any athlete. At the top it's always gonna be dancing on the razors edge in trying to stay injury free so you can get to put in as much training as possible.

Kiptum is obviously and without question an athlete of the the very highest caliber. A generational talent. I am blown away by what he’s doing. Of course there will be questions about doping, as would be the case with any athlete that smashes a world record. But since I have no information about that possibility in regards to Kiptum (as with every other professional athlete on earth) I think it would be incredibly unfair not to give him the benefit of the doubt. Kipchoge has always gotten that benefit despite setting WR’s at an age when almost all are past there prime. Doping is an unfortunate reality in modern sports, but without proof it’s completely unfair to cast doubt on some just because they are new, or aren’t the favorite of the people, or because they seem too good. I thinks it’s completely unfair to pick and choose. And after thinking about it for a while I’m really not too surprised by what Kiptum is doing. Kipchoge inspired a generation of runners worldwide and particularly in Kenya. He shattered barriers and gave people belief that Marathons could be run much faster than the current standard. It’s a cliche but records are made to be broken. Kiptum very well may be just the first of a “golden generation” of marathon runners. I have no doubt whatsoever that 2 hours will be broken soon, and it won’t be the final minute barrier broken in the marathon.

[@machineofadream]

Yes, I hate bringing up doping because everyone already knows it's a thing, and we need to trust the system to be able to catch it. No sense throwing baseless accusations out. Our evidence is only that he's good.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

Do you really think a world record holder has to be a high caliber athlete?

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@@machineofadream it's common sense that he's doping. But he's beating other dopers. It's pretty delusional to think these performances are clean. The list of clean runners to even break 2:10 is likely very small and ZERO for anyone to break 2:05

[@augustinekimosop6632]

​@@veganpottertheveganCommon sense? Get over yourself please. This is not the age of Flo Jo, West Germany et al. Athletes are thoroughly and randomly tested by multiple agencies nowadays. If you think intense training doesn't bring results, then you belong in Krptonia.

@@augustinekimosop6632 Don’t waste time feeding the troll.

[@drdavidlieb1]

Kiptum has a unique running style. With his high arm carriage, he drives the right arm across his body, making the pelvis rotate anteriorly and driving the opposite leg back. This is repeated for the other arm at a stride rate of 190 to 195. His arms and torso are doing a lot of the work, and his arms are moving as fast as his legs. In the final mile, his hands were reaching the top of his head...I copied his style on a training run, and I was instantly 30 seconds per mile faster with no extra effort! Try it for yourself!

[@bui340]

Interesting observation, it's hilarious when thinking back on how "perfect" running form was schooled at least a few years back from sprinting up to marathon

[@erygoodguy]

Interesting, I will try it

[@thejaramogi1]

Absolutely, you're right! Growing up in the Rift Valley in the 80s, we had inter-school competitions, which were always a delightful day. There were no classes that day; we had to go to the stadium or the hosting school, and we enjoyed watching races from all schools, especially the championships held at Kipkeino Stadium, which attracted large crowds. I've seen kids who run just like Kiptum, and it's their natural style. They have this effortless way of running, with their arms and torso engaged, much like Kiptum. It's fascinating to remember how, at times, their technique might appear awkward to others, but they consistently led the races. The determining factor was endurance; they excelled even in short distances like 800m. Unfortunately, most of them don't become athletes despite their natural talent.

We're all at different levels - I would suggest if you're struggling to even go under 4hrs that you'd start off looking at a 10k/half, then work your way up and go for a marathon later down the line - it'll take longer and be more difficult but you might well run better and be at less risk of an injury - whatever you do keep working hard and make sure to give yourself rest, and good luck!

[@s1randrew]

Same for me 😅

[@MiracleWarriors]

I respect and salute his focus in running ! I believe that now he is more focused than ever before to try to beat a marathon in less than two hours ! And if he breaks in the process o achive that ... who cares, because it seems that it is everything to him. I disagree with his coach ... if Kiptum believes he can do it ,then do it and beat the two hours mark ,even if his career as a pro elite runner doesn't last many years .

[@seb_617]

It’s an interesting strategy. He seems to be going full blast for it in his early 20s when he’s still young and can max out his training volume, and to accept (or ignore) the risk he could get injured. But many marathoners peak in their 30s, which suggests age (incl. experience) is a benefit in this sport. He’s optimizing a different function than others have. Will be interesting to see where this goes. The most insane part of his training for me is the near-marathon distance runs at near-marathon pace. Twice a week!!

[@Noum77]

[@dirkwest6378]

The question is, how fast is 'close to marathon pace' in Kiptum's training? The other trainings are high volume, but three days a week extremely slow (given his capability), the two fartleks are short, in which slow pace is involved as well. If he really runs up to 40KM 'close to marathon pace' on Wednesdays and Sundays, and this means 2:05 marathon pace, this is insane. If 'close' means 2:15 pace, it's another ballgame, again, at his level. Kipchoge's Tuesday speed sessions are extremely demanding as well, given the volume on other days. And 3:37 per KM doesn't seem to be very fast on this 'Boston course', but the question is, what's the altitude? And how hilly is it? Then this training could appear to be insanely heavy as well. In general, extreme marathon training is nothing new. Seko did 80 KM runs, Clayton ran 350 KM a week, of which 10 miles very morning in 50 minutes. Next to interval training and a marathon every Saturday in 2:25. Clayton was done when he was 26. Nakayama ran, on certain days, for example 20 K within one hour in the morning, in the afternoon he repeated this, in very high volume weeks. Jos Hermens, Olympic 10 K runner and former hour world record holder, ran 350 km a week as well. He had to retire prematurely, due to injuries.

[@unseenstalkr]

He knows his body best. I say go all out like he is for another couple years, then maybe back off for a year or 2 (hopefully not due to injury) and come back just as or stronger for another push at dropping the marathon record even further under 2 hours.

[@elMore1107]

Rest in Peace my friend

[@joelmacinnes2391]

This goes to show there are no shortcuts - besides being naturally gifted, 99.9% of the result comes from.the work you put in. Kipchoge is obviously a disciplined athlete who puts in a maintainable volume every week, hence why hes still on top at 38, but it's apparent that Kiptum trains harder still, and even if he plateaus or falls off early in his career, he's definitely the best in the world, and favorite for the olympic title just now, and thats purely because he works harder than all his competition

[@zopaseah4982]

Yes, it's the special Kenyan "diet" 😂😂😂😂

[@user-lf9xo4iz5x]

no rest laugh🤣. dudes cheating

[@joboytancinco9972]

so his tuesdays and saturday track sessions are just 12km?

[@mrjohnsuen]

Breaking 2 hr barrier well only if he can stay injury free. BUT given his extremely high loading of running non-stop, at some point in time, not now not tomorrow but 1-2 years down the road he'll be experiencing physical and mental fatigue, motivational level will start to drop, that's human physiology and psychology! Then this is the time that one will start get injured by continuing pushing the limits .. no one is exempted from the laws of science! Hope he and his coach has the wisdom and courage to do the right things as we sure would like seeing him (or someone else) breaking the 2 hour barrier.

[@GaryJahman]

That plan is absolutely out of this world! How do you even recover from this?

[@bestcrazyboy8487]

PEDs

[@briz1965]

FAB Very neat. I moved from running to cycling and I learnt the hard way just to go every day. Looking back on my diaries keeping well was my main concern and building up to a race not letting off was bitched at me by bike shop wannabies and the coach.

[@MattSwain1]

I guess at this stage when you’re as close to sub-2 as he is, he won’t want to let up in case someone else comes along and breaks that (in a race) before he does. Holding the marathon record is great but in the future it’s likely more people will know who broke sub-2 first than will know the current record holder on any given day

[@MatteoGariglio]

How can the human body possibly take such a high volume?! 300km per week is insane... repeatedly? Inhuman.

[@NealMcQuaid]

That's a new pair of runners every week or every second week......

[@jonahmays]

His 10k cooldown after a 5k workout is probably like 30 minutes lol

Hard training and some good pharmaceutical assistance 💪

The guy is carrying the boats and the logs. Goggins will like this company.

[@knightryder02]

I need the km to miles conversion 😅

[@moaningpheromones]

1.609:1

[@apollosun2913]

Making such a big issue over it being his AVERAGE time seems a little silly when he's only run three marathons. Remake this video again after he's run one hundred of them (if he's not caught using PEDs in the meantime).

[@lutovac_nikola]

How are these people physically capable of running that much each day? How are their bones alive? WHat kind of endurance do you have to have? This is all without even stretching and other stuff. Doesn't seem possible

[@kellenscott555]

Humans were born to run

[@nauding1035]

Yep bone density off the charts 😂

[@lutovac_nikola]

@@kellenscott555 That explains it man, I've never seen it that way. I'm sure you do daily marathons for years as well

[@mkevb1]

Obviously it was the new shoe 😂

[@jaljim4521]

Kelvin Kiptum has no race history and he run as much as Aleksandr Sorokin but at a speed that break sound wall lmao. His training without secret juice is not possible, "30 or 40 km at marathon pace" he run 2'52" at 2500m elevation, I really doubt about it . But I hope he could explain more his training and his capabilities because for me the wr can't go like that.

[@user-iv1mz1fh4c]

RIP KIPTUM!

RUN, EAT and SLEEP. REST ONLY WHEN TIRED
