Gebrselassie is probably the best runner of all time. The lightness of his running style and the big smile on his face is really inspirational. When I go running and start to feel tired and my legs feel heavy I sometimes picture myself running like Gebrselassie and it normally makes me feel a lot lighter and energized :)
2:30, oh God, the sounds of the church in the backround bring back so many memories of my time in Ethiopia, when I used to walk to school every-morning! Man I miss home so much!
I'm a Canadian and I have been inspired by Gebrselassie since I started running in my high school years. A true king of the running world if there ever was one. Thank you for posting this great documentary of one a running legend.
a true legend holding 25 world records and as he says "am addicted to running" he is undoubtably the king of distance running. I saw him yesterday at the Dubai marathon and he was all smiles....
@Spartank43x ...i don't see where the shame is....This kind of people emerge once in a generation. Others follow on his footsteps to make it better. So I guess this man is God fearing man running all tracks and highways successfully breaking every record. So the same instinct that he believed in and helped him to break all the recors now adviced him to retire or "it's time to stop". He is not a politcian, he is just a decorated athlete. So I wish him success in his future endeavours.
@UItimatesnake Admiro e aste atleta, espero este año correr mi primer marathon, creo en septiembre del 2011 sera mi inspiracion, ahora tengo un tiempo muy bueno el medio marathon. haile es extraordinario, arriba el deporte, ala chingada el sedentarismo
Sethqat, I don't really know what grievance you have against Haile Gebreselassie or distance running, but I can tell you two things: one, the people who participate in this is not "a small bunch." There were over 40000 people lined up in that opening Berlin Marathon shot... and thousands more in other marathons as well as in smaller/ larger distance races. Two, unless we can argue of Haile's successor Kenenisa, he is without a doubt the greatest long distance runner. His credentials show that.
@Throred yes.. you can have perfect structure u can have perfect compostion... if u dont put in the work u will never be the best --> not in profesional level ... he ran 10km to school and 10km since he was like ten....
el guerrouj that is better in 1500 and 2000 mt (WR holder) bekele is actual king in 5000 mt and 10.000 mt .... But Haile Is the king of the king Because He is the king of marathon !!!! (2:03:59 H)
@BoldRW haha thats actually pretty ironic cause i work in a store, and I specialize in shoes, and shoe fitting. But yea, I was just curious to see... it seems like he just uses a basic neutral shoe for easy runs... i fig'd he would use a lightweight perf. trainer instead.
I think that El Guerrouj is better than him. He beat him in the World Youth Championships in 1992, and he later beat him in the 3000. El Guerrouj is a legend.
@beanpatch7 Please don't choose shoes based on other people. Go to a specialty running store to see what type of shoe you need. Or, barefoot running may tickle your fancy
@daveisatrini Haile uses Adidas because they are paying him. This is a very good reason for Haile, although Adidas is no doubt a good shoe. All hail the Emperor!!!
@TomsMVP On a professional level, you need the perfect structure/composition. In addition you need the _incredible hard work_. But you can't win with hard work alone.
i love his humble background...go haile you are a true survivor and genius

Man I miss home so much!
He is such a great runner. What is equally amazing is his generous and kind personality. I want to travel to Ethiopia just to meet him.

Have you noticed that Haile has only daughters? Long distance runners tend to have more daughters than sons.
thanks!!

@BoldRW haha thats actually pretty ironic cause i work in a store, and I specialize in shoes, and shoe fitting. But yea, I was just curious to see... it seems like he just uses a basic neutral shoe for easy runs... i fig'd he would use a lightweight perf. trainer instead.

whats w/ the guy w/ the AK-47 @ 7:52???
My Aries twin we got the same birthday I’m not cuting my hair 😂😂😂
Wow he is Ethiopian.
🎉🎉🎉
I think that El Guerrouj is better than him. He beat him in the World Youth Championships in 1992, and he later beat him in the 3000. El Guerrouj is a legend.
Haile is a partner from Adidas, so i think he uses the newest Shoes from Adidas
from somalia i alwyz wtch ur sucsc meybe one day i will be like you long live the legend
красавчик !!!
@thej0ker09 Blessed are those who are gentle and lowly, for the whole earth will belong to them.Mat5:5

Athlete was spelled wrong

@TomsMVP On a professional level, you need the perfect structure/composition. In addition you need the _incredible hard work_. But you can't win with hard work alone.
Your words may have some credibility, but Wanjiru's career/ charisma will never match Gebreselassie's.
@678Destroy yeah he's one of my idols--> just started my endurance cycle 2months 600km :_) he does like 800+ in 1 month :)
heh extra fireworks
7:52 is that a guy with an AK-47?
1:40 Boss
7:50 Damn! My man wit da AK47
@fishrfine That man is too tall to be Bekele. It can't be him.
He might be good at running, but I'll put good money down and bet that I could beat him at sitting.
@TomsMVP haha i wish it was that simple.
nope he said that he's christian
kayseride koşmak ayıp saçmalık delilik.
but bekele out performed him
@pabanil His last name means "servant of the trinity."
