WORLD RECORD SMASHED! || Jacob Kiplimo Just Went Crazy - 2024 Zevenheuvelenloop

[@panashenhavira]

40'42 on that hilly course is incredible. This is the smoothest I've seen him look. If you look at his other races you can tell when he's running at his limit. This wasn't that at all. Need him to take back his half marathon WR 🔥

[@Robert_McGarry_Poems]

It looks like he is finally back in form to do so. I'm excited for it. It will be a treat getting to see him a Yomif race!!!

[@Shandy6733]

because these are the best prototypes he ever worn....next year Nike develops something even more advanced, so Kiplimo or somebody else will break the current record.....it's going on since 2016-2017 since the new carbo plates and airpods.....plus the zoomx foam.....etc...

[@farleyrimon3331]

You do know it is the fastest course of the world?

[@minisergium]

Kiplimo had been missing for some time. Good to see he's come back in such a good shape. Can't wait his move to marathon (whenever he decides to)

[@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527]

hold my beer

[@rorysteyn9805]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a better, smoother, and more efficient running style. Poetry in motion 🙌

[@AtomicAndi]

Yeah, looks like he really maxes out the shoe with this style.

[@regolyth]

I was thinking that at the beginning when the other guy was keeping pace. Kaplimo's style seemed so much more circular and fluid in comparison.

[@Shandy6733]

Because, you've never seen a better, smoother, and more efficient pair of prototypes, DUH! People are talking about "running style"....for f**k sake, there is only one way to run 2:50 kms, there is no style to it, is not painting you idiot....

[@pascalbocherel7785]

Very smooth strides, just incredible to watch this solo race at 4’22”/mile. It’s a crazy performance, I can measure it. I was a runner with borderline sub 15 on 5k and sub 30 10 k roads and track by only 10-15 seconds and only ran few 1 mile track races with a pr of 4’03”. I’m blown away!

[@AthleticsEditz]

I genuinely didn't know what event was being run until 1:37 in to the video. I'd guessed it was either a 5k, 10k or 15k race but didn't know until this point because it was never mentioned. I get the video was probably made fairly quickly but it'd be nice to know what record was actually broken lol.

[@Aiden_Keen]

Exactly

[@bh4560]

Click bait! Guy wants you to hang around for as long as possible 😂

[@jamesdennis8290]

In future, he should put the distance being run right up front, and also the particular record at stake. Make it standard.

[@shanedeeley4741]

0:18 you must be deaf

[@64offsuiter]

Here's the problem. You're all used to instant information. You've been bred to be spoon fed info quickly and from the start. Nothing wrong with building to a result or a conclusion. It's entertainment done right. Not at all clickbait.

[@1972vulture]

Wow. It's mesmerizing to watch someone run so smoothly; relaxed and powerful.

I actually live in Nijmegen (the city where the race starts and ends) and it's really cool to see a lot of images and videos of the area I was born, grew up in and still live at

[@crosslink1493]

I still remember the effort and suffering I went through to go 4:26 for a single mile race back in my youth, and this guy runs his mile splits even faster. Geezuss!!!

[@Shandy6733]

In your current pair, he would have suffered as well, defo no WR....

[@garystroup5285]

Same brother…it’s crazy to think about

[@kinggremlin4574]

Running shoe technology has gone crazy over the last few years. He's wearing space ships on his feet for sneakers. Even my old fat out of shape self can feel the difference and see the difference in my pace wearing Zoom Fly running shoes vs traditional shoes like the Pegasus. Zoom Fly are no where near Nike's premier tech shoes any more. Lord know what an elite runner like Kiplimo gets out of custom fit Nike running shoes.

[@yellowhammer126]

Is anyone gonna talk about how he did it on a course with a 300+ foot hill early on???👀

[@Boessss16]

Commentary talks about elevation difference :') Seven Hills Run By the way the course/race is known for it's fast times, because the previous records were also ran there. Maybe the Dutch infrastructure is that supportive (;

[@andremoh]

The course is under the sea level if i no mistake and the wind might’ve helped!!

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

300ft is nothing. That's 90 metres.

[@MTBEAST007]

@@TheSiameseDreamer Do you even run?

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

@MTBEAST007 every day. 90 metres of elevation over 15km is not a hilly course at all.

[@davidvulich]

Distance?

[@Sapjee123]

@davidvulich 15k

[@longdongmc.johnson]

I remember this very well, as jacob finished my starting block wasnt even close to finishing yet. Absolute beast. The last 5k is just straight downhill, very fast finish. I managed to finish in 1:14:48, however today i managed to pb my 15k at 1:09:04 so definitly improving. Its completely insane to think this guy ran at nearly double my pace. What a legend

[@jones192]

Dude woke up with one thing on his mind: DOMINATION.

[@kwd-2023]

Really don't understand why his 40.27 15k split enroute to a half marathon WR does not count as the true 15k World record.

[@BobNLD]

Because rules state that for a WR to count you have to finish where you started. Otherwise, you could run a 15K downhill and claim your prize

[@cy8685]

The 15k mark would have to be certified as accurate and have an official timer there to document the split. Anything else is “unofficial” and the split could potentially be short.

[@mauricepointer9555]

The same reason why Boston Marathon times are not world record performances due to World Athletics criteria ie...drop and separation. This record is really considered a world best performance.

[@andrewbradshaw530]

I can't even run 200m at this pace 😢 This guy is not human!

[@johnl4885]

Looked like a nice cool temperature, no apparent wind, and obviously he was amped up right from the start. Amazing race!

[@Matrix-y5y]

Good 🎉

[@Jorash_Barison]

Running as a sport needs to drop all pacers faster than a literal average pace. Pros should be able to hold their pace on their own as well as sub elite and talented rec runners. So it's nice to see a race and a performance pacer free.

[@RUN_RGB]

Amazing how hilly courses can be so beneficial to fast times. Well done Jacob!!!!

[@amsf1]

Runs like a gazelle. Go my brotha

[@andremoh]

He ran that time in Lisbon in conditions that might never happen again!! The first 8k there was no wind at all, when they turned to the other way a really strong wind started blowing straight to his back up to the kilometer 18!! Everyone had their pb that morning!!

[@daleal7250]

I just don’t understand how someone can clearly be running so hard and still make it look so effortless.

[@acasualviewer5861]

I ran 15k yesterday. But I ran slower so as to not ruin this guy's party. You can't be selfish all the time.

Nice video! Just want to mention the fact that you did not announce the distance of the race until 1min40, as someone new to running i didnt know what the Zevenheuvelenloop was haha

[@BabdoSilentMovies-ku1jt]

Impressive record ... soo thin & fluid and relax when he run ... he is like an F1 on a race with every details are ajusted to run fast ... he is the other one runner who going to break 2h00 marathon one day !

[@InYourHeadChangedMan]

No questions ⁉️ it's hard to get excited about any record nowadays

[@mightbeanybody]

It's all about the stride length he achieves from his stiff/strong legs, high foot recovery, shin angle on footstrike, weight shift over the stance foot and the shoes. Similar cadence to the other runners just a bigger stride.

[@ravciozo2137]

Nice to see TRP finally acknowledging that the course ain't easy, after the previous zevenheuvelenloop video (previous WR) that kept naming that course very fast :D I wonder what could Kiplimo run over some other, even faster 15k course. Sub-40:30 certainly, but maybe - just maybe - a sub-40 attempt? Would that be possible?

[@Williamottelucas]

Surprised to learn of "huge" hills in this Netherlands race!

[@stevelau7694]

Looks like in 2025, he might aim for a sub 57 half marathon or 1:59 full marathon given an easy course and ideal weather especially if he's still 24. Should still be able to improve a lot. Shoe technology definitely has an impact on these times improving so much in the last few years.

The 15k is a very strange distance. I had to go back to my Garmin data to confirm that I have indeed run that distance before. Just once! It was at a race that had 32km (double lapper) and a 15km option (which I entered for). Great job for Jacob Kiplimo to highlight it and smash the record on this weird distance.

It may look effortless, but you can really see that he was pushing very hard.
