I was a bit surprised that Wanjiru wasn't mentioned in the video (or did I miss it?), but I guess it's a video about the marathon WR, and Wanjiru sadly never got the chance to break that.

    Nothing to do with WRs, but you mentioned in the beginning that some people enjoy competing in multiple marathons a year. That reminded me of Slovakia's Zdeno Chara, a 24-year NHL (hockey) veteran who, in a 12-month stretch from April '23 to April '24, completed EIGHT marathons. His PB of 3 hours, 11 minutes, and 4 seconds came from his most recent race at London '24, just 6 days after he ran the '24 Boston Marathon. What's even more impressive is that he stands at an insane 6'9", weighs 256 pounds, and is at the age of 47. That's pretty neat! 😎🆒️

    Excellent video.
    One slight omission in not covering the pro circuit times from 1908-1912; which were not only years ahead of IAAF-approved amateur times, but were set on more reliably measured and non-point-to-point courses.
    (Due to being run on indoor tracks, which were much easier to measure than a long and sprawling road course. Technically they were slightly short of today's full distance due to a quirk in how American tracks were measured prior to WW1, but road courses in that era could be off by a lot more.)

    people who has never ran a marathon or even a half marathon won't understand how impressive it is to even complete one in those stiff and ultra-thin shoes in the 20th century. Nowadays even the cheapest running shoes have at least a good chunk of midsole/outsole and is pretty comfortable to run, the shoes back then barely had any shock absorbing midsole.

    The commentary on this documentary is wrong. When Steve Jones from Wales broke the world record marathon time in the 1984, it was not his marathon debut. Why don't you people do your homework first instead of just uploading a program that is not the facts. Steve Jones had run a previous marathon and he had to retire with a foot injury after I think 15 miles.

    • @RunnerBoi
      @RunnerBoi  5 месяцев назад +1

      I stated that he pulled out of the same marathon the year before due to an ankle injury, and that it was specifically his "proper *full* marathon debut", signifying it was his debut in the sense that he had recorded an official mark in the event instead of a halfway-ish DNF. It's an important clarification to make imo for the video and you either glossed over it entirely, or just misunderstood my wording.
      Also for future reference, no one likes it when you try to give what are seemingly innocuous corrections to people in this type of tone, especially for a video that's an hour long.

    • @RunnerBoi
      @RunnerBoi  7 месяцев назад +16

      My main answer is that there's just not enough history to fill a 30-40+ minute window that these WR progression vids normally require for women's distance running. Women's distance running (5000m and up) didn't become legitimately competitive until the 70's, and for the marathon it took as late as the 80's until women like Grete Waitz and Joan Benoit basically inspired an entire generation of fast female marathon runners; something I covered on this channel already. For the steeplechase, it wasn't even until the 90's until women could do that event in general! Not to mention the point of these vids in particular is to cover the fastest times in *general* which ofc are performed by men.
      WR Progressions aside though, my entire vid catalog is a pretty healthy/near-50/50 gender split, so... *shrug*
