Anyone who has ever ran can appreciate how difficult setting these times are. That’s incredible, and that’s not even his peak speed either. I can’t even imagine how much effort getting to that level would take.
I could not agree more. I took up running last year July ( I WILL be turning 40 this year and never ran a km in my life) and I am still trying to figure out how people can run a 10km in sub 45, 40 and even 30 minutes!!!! I have been struggling to get into the sub 50 mark and shaving off 3 minutes is like trying to loose 10kg's!!!!!!!
Weight and style are the main factors. Chelimo is 57kg and 180cm, very low in fat and unnecessary muscle. That's just about the perfect middle ground for running long distance. It's really easy to run and take long steps when you're skinny, looking at this guy reminds me of how others would say I take very long steps while running. I couldn't run as fast nor far as Chelimo, but weight is a huge factor for how effortless big steps become. I used to be that skinny and thus didn't need much practice to beat everyone in long distance running. Then there's the amount of practice and lastly genes. Becoming an average runner isn't much of a chore when you're low fat and it's perfect for overall mental and physical health.
@@lean2281 What people want is their personal preference. A runner wants to be low weight and a fighter likely wants to max their weight in their weight class. 57kg or 120kg, what makes one a "man" is their behaviour and you're not much of a man at all based on yours.
The 52.8s lap at 12.00 mins has to be one of the best camera shots iv seen of just how fast these athletes can move! Gives you a real sense of the kinda pace these guys push out(especially Chelimo's last 150m!) 😯 Insane!
This is art beautiful videoing. P.S continue riding your bike and recording the athletes and don’t edit music in background I love hearing there feet touch the ground, just keep up what your doing for future videos💪🏽🙏🏽
Other than David, Eliud & Centro..this man Paul has a fantastic running form. He need to wear his running chain at the trials. The chain does it for me.
I understand mis-communications happen but this is a perfect example of why Paul Chelimo and the entire WCAP team deserve better coaching. Great video and you can feel the energy of the squad building. Feedback is a gift so maybe this would help the conversation towards improving the squad's risk management.
Thanks for showing Chelimo's running form in details w/o shirt. The segment 6:59 shows his back muscles w the deep crevice gives me new insight on how to improve.
Nice track! I like that it appears to be open to the public (the old ladies taking a walk) Where I live, the only rubberized tracks available are at high schools. And, at the track I run at, they use the infield as a practice field for the high school (American) football team. They don't care about track and field; the football players just walk across the track surface with their spikes on all the time. They leave football barriers out (like the blow-up, weighted targets for training.) They'll fertilize the field and bring in mowers, but blow the grass and fertilizer pellets on the track, leaving muddy tire tracks from the mowers.😠 But I've seen worse; when I was in high school, the track 'complex' and its infield was used for: Football, Soccer and BAND practice (and all the games)! Oh yeah, about the video: Your videos are awesome! This guy is fast, fast, fast. I saw your recent video with Molly Seidel. She is fast fast fast, especially for a marathoner! As I've transitioned to marathons, I've realized that most pro runners peak with their top end speed in their early 20s (1,500, 3,000 and 5,000.) Then, they try transitioning up to 10,000m. And then MAYBE they can move to the half and the full marathon. But the crazy thing is, once they get that top speed in the 5,000-10,000 meter range, they hold on to nearly ALL of that speed the rest of their careers. The difference in pace between what a World-class 5,000m and World-class marathoner are running is actually pretty small. I've always like Paul; I hope he has a long career and can transition to the 10 and the marathon (if he wants!) He has a 62:19 half, back in 2019. I wonder if he feels like he's in limbo right now. He ran a fantastic half marathon two years ago, but is still racing the 5,000 at the top races (Bronze in Tokyo 2020/2021) Obviously that is success, but will he stay in the 5-10 or go to the marathon?!?! He is tall for a long distance runner. Compare his 5'11" to Kipchoge's 5'6". I wonder if that has something to do with it? "Go Hard or Suffer the Rest of Your Life" - Paul Chelimo, 2021

When I was in the marine corp we had a Staff Sergeants hitting times like this. They had mass too; they were not slim like these guys so that just made it more unreal. Running in formation was nightmare with these guys. U had to keep up too; no quitting in the corp or sergeant major would hear about. Folks were just coming back dead. I had it especially bad cuz I actually had a little speed on me so they made me road guard. I had to run with the platoon flag to intersection ahead to block traffic. When the formation past I had to catch up to the front and sprint to the next intersection. I would get gassed bad. I eventually got under 6 min mile on my own but never sub 5. Some made it that fast but god lord is tough training.
Great videos!! They really capture the running models’ running form and personalities. Kudos!! Is it possible that you could reach Suguru Osaka for more videos?
Short steps are good over striding can lead to injuries like shin splints knee pain.... Stick to your natural steps/strides doesn't matter how long or short they're
@@codea1273 in many cases it's not about height even a 6 feet tall person doesn't have long stride and an average height person has longer strides it depends on the skeleton or mechanics of your body how are you built naturally
Un exemple inspirant même si je sais que je n'aurai jamais le niveau de Chelimo je pense à son exemple quand j'ai un entraînement difficile en course à pied.
Dan ganas de salir a correr, cuando veo a este hombre haciéndolo, es la perfección. Que dulzura de movimientos, equilibrado, y un compás perfecto, las piernas super altas... Parece que se vaya a golpear los glúteos...Increíble...
This athlete seems to know better than his coach. I guess when you run like this you don’t have to listen to anyone. The man moves like an ostrich. Damn that’s perfect grace
Talk about a running motion/style. So pure. This man Paul looks likes he's straight up gliding on the track.
He has one of the most beautiful forms... so stereotypically perfect
He’s so incredibly stable especially at the hips it’s a thing of beauty
I can't think of anyone smoother on the track
Amazing to watch

can we take a moment and realize he said 14 min flat 3 mile so casually
And then ran it in 13:43!!!
Born to run. So efficient. Beautiful stride. No excess movement. He makes it looks easy.

Chelimo's running style & biomechanics are impressive
He runs a 4:30 mile like it’s a jog. That is nuts! 😬
That’s tempo pace for top tier runners like him
6 minutes mile 😢
I could watch Paul run for days man!
This is insane
The heel lifting and running is so smooth
I can watch that man run all day he is so smooth

bekele and farah too imo
@@stayontrack mo farah dont look as smooth imo

Amazing form, makes it look like a jog meanwhile I struggle to keep a 7min pace for 2 miles. This is top dedication and discipline.
At that speed, I will be dead once I hit 800m, maybe less....... He is a pure running machine.

His upper body stability is next level. Smooth.

"Go Hard or Suffer the Rest of Your Life" - Paul Chelimo, 2021
I got tired just be looking at this and the fact Paul can just stay so smooth throughout is insane to me.
Paul glides on the track and he makes it seem so effortless. Amazing.
Fab video, thanks for posting. I love watching the graceful + efficient running techniques of runners like Chelimo, who is all sinew and muscle.

He is so strong. Would be great to see his workout too
Gives an insight to how elite these boys r🙌
I'm sorry, but his form is just beautiful to watch.
Amazing! I don't run at all no matter what! This is beautiful what these guys can do with the human body!
I love watching his stride
Amazing contrast between him and the tshirt guy who was making so much noise while Chelimos steps made barely a sound. Just amazing.
I’m loving these videos!
The camera man the fastest out of all of them
Smoothest*
@@jhoncena1111 On a bike I assume you can hear it
the rhythm and leg turnover these guys have is unbelievable...

I love how there's no music. The scenes with the camera right behind him running were awesome.
Big ups bro, congrats from home in Nandi. We are so proud of you back at home. Keep up the good work.
that 3 mile is the pace you need for a sub 2 hr marathon
his running form is immaculate

Yep they we’re definitely in the army with that kind of preworkout banter.
this is simply some beauty to watch. thanks a lot
Paul’s run seems effortless!
Outstanding technique.
He’s not an olimpic medalist by luck!

It kind of his luck because even tho he puts in a lot of effort genetically he is blessed so he’s lucky

Utterly beautiful and powerful form. This is Olympic GOLD shape…. Good luck Paul!!! 👏👏👏
Inane how he’s glides across the ground. Such a beautiful gate.
2x53" at the end ... Sunday is going to be on the Team!
My eyes bugged out when I heard him say what times he's shooting for. Wow!😮😮😮
Unreal.
I just cannot lift my heels that high while running. My steps are too short! Any tips how to improvise on this?
Short steps are good over striding can lead to injuries like shin splints knee pain.... Stick to your natural steps/strides doesn't matter how long or short they're
Also I think the height is related to how fast you are running. So if you run faster it will go higher.
