They probably didn’t have too much of a problem with the 2 mile army run

[@kaismithley6173]

Lmao I think the required pace would be a shuffle for them at best

[@lukeduffy5208]

Please do more of these elite elite standard athletes, anyone who’s talking about the inconsistency of the times and anyone who is not amazed at the workout they have just seen do not have a clue about running

[@dangahagan7645]

To be fair the times were pretty inconsistent, but it's hard to tell whether that's okay without more info on the workout...at the time of this workout, Chelimo was a 13:07 guy. Based on that, he should've been doing this type of workout averaging 2:07. However, the fact that they have hammer reps makes it harder to tell, and it's also difficult to know things like which reps are the hammer reps? Are all the hammer reps supposed to be the same? Are they supposed to be negative splitting every rep? All of this makes it impossible to make a general statement about their lack of consistency, without more knowledge. Either way, though, a very impressive workout!

[@alexjones8545]

100% agreed about people not realizing how damn impressive this training is. I dare any of these people to keep up with them for more than two reps max of these 800s (most of them would be winded after the first 400m).

[@kaismithley6173]

@@dangahagan7645 uh it's at altitude, of course they're running slower it's because he ran the 13:07 at sea level, when you're at 7000 feet of elevation your times drop drastically, also it doesn't matter if you know what the hammer reps were they knew what they were

[@parkerjones6598]

Just saying, that 9th 800 was definitely the hardest part of the workout, no question. How they can go 63-56 at the end of that workout, I have NO IDEA. That’s amazing though, you can’t deny it

[@AncientPharaoh]

Parker Jones When the hart rate is up and you're motivated to be done equals dynamite💥.

[@chiefhardy6312]

This is also at 7000feet, making the splits even more impressive.

[@SoZo]

how much rest did they take between each 800m????

[@clicknow2102]

2 min rest

I was blown away by this work out before I knew it was at 7000 feet O_O

[@nohamhabib316]

[@turnerburger]

Our team took a trip to Colorado Springs over the summer and we watched them do a workout: 25 400m repeats at 61-63 seconds with a minute of rest between each rep... A MINUTE!!! And on a few of them they did close to 50 flat. Just watching them fly by us over and over again, not diminishing their pace at all, was astonishing.

[@abrahamabouljoud6651]

TheRandomGamer 238 how old? I’m curious

[@tymansmart1517]

At 3:27 Chelimo didn’t say “go out suffer for the rest of your life” he said “go hard or suffer for the rest of your life”

[@dedgar6161]

Tyman Smart close enough

[@kayodemolen8210]

I noticed that my denotation of that is that this pain they feel when they run is temporary and it will eventually subside but if you quit it will last forever.

[@Chargo]

Kayode Molen lol u legit stole that quote from a speech ik it’s a year late but still

[@HugRunner]

Very impressive, but the "scary" part about this is that for a 2 hour marathon you need to run 2:17 for each 800 m, almost 53 times in a row and without rest. It's unbelievable how it can be done and Eliud Kipchoge was so close.

[@DavidSuncuravens]

Actually, you need to go even faster then that. 2:16:48 per 800m. That would put you on pace for 1:59:59 for a Marathon. That's 68.24 per lap on a track. 2:50/km or 4:34/mile. Guys like Kipchoge, Bekele and Mo Farah probably have VO2 Max in the 90s to run at that sort of pace.

[@omgiheartpie]

Kipchoge pretty much just ran 53x800m in 2:19 with 0 rest lol

[@chanbros6110]

David Sun only Kipchoge can do that. Please don’t put Mo Farah in the same category as Kipchoge when it comes to marathoning. It’s insulting.

[@kiswahilikitukuzwe2547]

[@kedr77]

Best episode so far. Chelimo is a legend

[@user-kd4mi8xb7p]

Smoothest group of runners I've ever seen. And for those saying splits were all over the place, not everyone did all of the 800s. Some of them ended earlier.

[@TheFODRunner]

Incredible splits at that altitude!!

[@dustinmullaney173]

Chelimo for president

[@iguillo]

Wow, these guys are amazing!

its okay i guess but still I cant really afford college so im probably going to have to rely on track and ill probably have to do these workouts in college

[@shadowempire9760]

Diego Marroquin I run like 2:02-2:06 and I'm not an middle distance runner. But I can say that your workout is good, but maybe try to cut the rest down and work on more speed with 200s or split 800s (600m fast then 30s rest then a hard last 200m)

how much body fat on these athletes on average? What is a good weight?

[@rycooder9486]

They were most likely raised at altitude. So this makes huge difference. When Jim Ryun first went to Colorado to see what it was like, he was hurting at 5min mile. None of these guys are in Ryun's league..so a workout by altitude trained guts shhould be considered. Certainly 2:15 isnt tough..sub 2:10 is the start of anaerobic

Matt Barnes yes he did 8 x 800’s in sub 155 and fastest one his dad said was 1.47 all with one min break. I think Coe could have run 5,000m very well off that kind of training. Definitely sub 13.20

[@simon89889]

haha why Kipchirchir say it's tough from 2:17 to 2:10? His 5000 pb is 13:35 which is just the pace of 2:10. It's easy for him for sure XD. And Chelimo's 5000 is 13:03 which is faster than 2:07. However, he said that it'a tough XD. Then, why they choose to run fast at the 9th round???Just feeling good at that moment??

[@Linkmon99]

fu liao yeah I was thinking the same thing they kinda just took each one as it’s own race, I was expecting the 10th one to be like 1:55 but it was one of the slower ones

[@Jwilk.o]

fu liao it’s at 7000ft altitude

[@rhysnichols8608]

I could keep up on this workout for the first 3 reps and then not able to maintain such a pace at altitude. If you don't give a shit then I understand
