If Jim Peters had completed that '54 marathon and achieved a sub 2:10 I wonder how much more revered he would have been in marathon running. It took over a decade for someone to get back to that pace. Huge respect
For me, Jim Peters is the greatest of all time considering men's marathon. In '54 marathon he " reached the stadium in first place, 17 minutes ahead of the next runner and 10 minutes ahead of the record..." (record was 2:17, HIS RECORD). HE WAS RUNNING IN PLANE PLIMSOLLS.
Just wish someone had have been in his ear during the race and told him to slow down a little. It seems like if he'd had his pacing on song even a 2.09 would have been attainable for him.
I live in Canada so there’s a lot of snow and ice and there’s no indoor tracks near where I live but I’m so psyched to try out your workout once everything melts ! Way to go above and beyond awesome.
Same here in Sweden. But since I live in Stockholm the snow melts fast so if it snows today then I am good to go the next day or 2-3 days after lmao. I am just trying to do my best now before we say bye bye to the SUMMER.
This is a really fantastic workout! I watched this last night and honestly couldnt wait to try it out. I did it today and while i admit it was challenging, it was fun to see the progress marathoners have made over the past 100 or so years. I wasnt able to record it for you, but I'd like to mention i was barely able to split 1:10.52 for 2000's. Thankfully, i was able to push out everything left for a 1:06.99. Again, thanks for the great workout and keep up the good work!
The history of the marathon was excellent. Enjoyed your workout simulating the record times even more! I definitely appreciate even more how remarkable these athletes are. Well done!
Just heard that Cheptegei's 10k road race record was broken a few hours ago. What's happening in the athletics world??? Waiting for your video on that😗
@@JJ-xp6uj Could be a country rivalry thing. Uganda took it from Kenya and Kenya was now taking it back. Ethiopia is busy assessing the situation and plotting it's move.
Cool video! I think I’ll try this wkt this spring (racing a marathon next month, so I will tackle this in a couple mos). I’ll be lucky to come as close as you did, but it looks like a fun wkt to try. Nice work!!✌️
You will never hear the ‘it’s easy’ from me. The current world record is just over 13mph. I am old and a baby runner and my half! Marathon goal this spring is 2:30. That’s not even a good time for their FULL marathon. But every mile we do laps the one who stayed on the couch.
spare some love for that dude who ran a world record bare foot. that too on asphalt. this is beyond hard man! I am not kidding. just try on the track and you know what I am talking about. There is not even a meter easy there.
Wouldnt have been surprised if the reason was because the airline "lost" his shoes and no one would sell/give him a pair that could fit or they took his shoes before the race as sabotage. He didn't look happy to finish that race and looked stressed being lifted up. Back then people were real racists, and they wouldn't have been punished for it socially either.
I can relate as yesterday doing 10K race of my life and finishing at 44:23 :-) that's a lot slower than pace of first marathon runners in Olympic history.
Huge fan!!!! All the way from Miami. Lol, it's incredibly hot over here... I hate it. 😣 Hopefully, I move to Colorodo or somewhere else where there's more altitude so I can train. Plus, the weather would be better. 😁
At 1:54, the dramatic improvement in long distance running time has significantly, been due to better athletes participating. I dont believe training, nutrition and better running knowledge justifies someone running 8 miles faster than a previous record holder. I have also noticed this kind of discrepancies from your other videos, at least from my point of view but overall i do enjoy your videos.
Hey I noticed your left leg wasn’t getting as high of a butt kick as your right, just wondering if you knew, I don’t want you to get injured and stop doing these awesome “try it myself” workouts lol. Keep up the awesome content!
probably the most difficult track event. this is ridiculous how fast the latest record holder is. he looked like he was sprinting, and barely broke a sweat!
My mom never set any records, in fact her moto was "someone's gotta finish last" but she just finished a 240 mile race in Utah, took 5 days, it amazes me that people can do that kind of thing
In december i did 2 track workouts, first was 10x400m/1:10, 3min rest and second with same pace was 12x400m and in last 2 reps i was in lots of pain, cant imagine too run that fast for entire marathon, simply amazing
Good one. An interesting variation would be "how long can you keep up kepchoge's pace"? I've been thinking about doing that. Maybe I could do 1k. Maybe a mile.
I ran cross country through college which was, at the time 3.25 miles. My fastest time as I recall was 15:35, which set a course record. This was just under 5 minutes per mile. To be able to run 26 miles averaging 4:38 per mile is super human. You know that there were some 4:20s in there as well.
I would love to attempt this workout but I can't right now because there is snow on the track at my local track so if I record this workout in the spring will you post it?
Hello and greetings from Brazil. Why didn't you talk about brazilian Ronaldo da Costa? he was the first human to run under 3 minutes per km in the marathon, which at the time was almost as absurd as Kipchoge's achievements these days.
While he represented Kenya for much of his running career, he was actually born in Kenya. Odd I know but it's the truth. Thanks for noticing! Always nice to be fact checked!
@@fastinradfordable Ryan hall also put on 70 pounds of lean muscles and has shifted focus to a much slower form of ultra marathon racing but is much grittier
A workout that would really show appreciation to kipchoges world record is run an 800M first lap at 1908 world record pace and than have to basically spring the second lap after that to catch kipchoges pace
It's crazy to think the old world record in the early 1900s would barley qualify them for the Boston marathon and they'd be chocked up as a last place runner. The old timers will always tell us how much stronger they are than our generation, but the numbers don't lie. We have more young athletes participating in marathons, triathlons, Ironman, and ultra marathons than any other generation previously. And the world records the current generation is setting are insane
I remember back when I ran for college we had to do two sets of 8x400M at a little faster than 3K Goal pace so for me that was doing 72 sec 400M 16 times with only 1.5min rest I n between each and 5min rest between sets. Every time we did that I felt like throwing up after 😅
How about the history of the wheelchair marathon world record? It went from just under 2:59:00 in the late 1970s to 1:18:04 in 2017! I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true; I've looked it up on the Boston Marathon's Web site... feel free to investigate further if interested.
If more than 53 minutes have been snapped off the marathon WR in the last 100 years, surely, kipchoge must have maintained a faster pace that even the 5000 or 10000 mtrs world champs of that period.
Except for nutrition and running, more athletes compete at this event, earlier, south africans didn't compete marathon. Their anatomy is much better for this distance.
@Reina De corazones He avoided testing, and looks like he tampered with another test. 99% chance it will count as a bust, adding to the dozens of Kenyan dug busts in just the last year. These are facts, ot slander. The sport is dirty as f--- at the top.Too bad, I loved watching Wilson run, a beautiful stride and very nice guy.
@Reina De corazones IOC has nothing to do with it. It is a matter for AIU and possible CAS later. These are FACTS, which you have a problem with. FACTS also got Kiprop, despite his attempts to worm his way out. Kenyans are desperate to make a living, unfortunately they are vulnerable to bad influences and easy access to drug enhancement. They have more drug busts last year than the Russians ever did, but they are not yet banned as a country. Meanwhile the Ethiopians quietly get away with it, as they have tight control over information and (lack of) testing. Our sport is a sham right now, a crisis that sees no end, as African women are running ridiculous times that would have won the men's Olympics as recently as the 1950s.
@Reina De corazones I mentioned Russia. It is a problem everywhere but I live in the U.S.where unlike Kenya and many other smaller countries I cannot just go downtown and get injected with EPO for some cash. Then have the tester warn me of the test coming tomorrow.
@Reina De corazones All countries know how to cover up doping, but like I said, dope is more available in 3rd World. USA has sprinters still getting busted often. But even then not 15-20/year. And they are not setting world records every week like Africans now on roads. Distance runners in the US almost never have been busted, but they are also far behind the mass of Africans, except Rupp who had a dirty coach. In the USA distance guys make more $$ getting a salaried career, in Africa the only $$ is on the roads. Combined with easy access and shady coaches and agents, it is a horrible situation.
I tried Kipchoge's pace on treadmill and I could do it for... less than a minute ;-) But that is ok, we wouldn't stand with swimmers either or anybody else from elite - because they are ELITE not us
I've done 105 laps on a track before; 2:15's for the first 18-20 miles, some walking after that, finished in 4:40; I always said I wanted to try it again and shave 10 minutes; but since the WR is under 2; I feel like I should try for under 4 now...
If Jim Peters had completed that '54 marathon and achieved a sub 2:10 I wonder how much more revered he would have been in marathon running. It took over a decade for someone to get back to that pace. Huge respect

And the drug busts are piling up. Pretty soon it will be just Eliud boinging along in 1:55 lol
Believe me, I can't even run a 2:30 marathon with the Vaporfly and on drugs 😂😂😂
You make it sound like all one has to do is wear the shoe and then the shoe runs the person....
I AM . On the contrary, you will run faster than your best if you have on the shoes and on the gear, this I strongly suspect.
Well done for even trying!
