I remember being at work (casino customer service) and totally abandoning my counter to walk across the gaming floor to see the end of this race on a TV that I could barely make out. I came back to some upset people at my empty station and an upset boss but it was worth it 😂
I can't physically comprehend running a 52 second 400m at the end of a 5k, I can't even do that for 400m alone that is already a reasonable highschool 400m winning time.
I just ran in the tssaa cross country state championship and watching these videos makes me realize how much better these athletes are than high school kids. But there was a sophomore who ran a 16:02 5k and I couldn't even imagine
Hi. I'm one of your many subscribers! I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your channel. I'm an avid distance runner who will likely NEVER win a race!😅🐧🐌🐢However, I enjoy watching the elites. Their work ethic is INCREDIBLE! Yours is, also. Keep the AWESOME videos coming!😀👍🏾🏃🏽♂️
2009 worlds had an impressive lineup as well in the 5000m...the legendary Kenenisa Bekele (who led the last four laps and ran them in 3m58s) took gold with a similar finishing sprint to beat Bernard Lagat...Kipchoge was 5th...and Farrah was 7th with a time of 13.19 which was faster than his winning time in 2011...
There has been 17 WC in 5000m. From 1983 to 2019. Only three (!) of the winning times (1983, 1987 and 2007) were weaker than Mo Farah's fastest winning time from his three gold medals. There is no doubt he solely benefited hugely on his opponents failing to see that Mo Farah had low capacity but amazing kick down. They never learned that the way to beat him was to run fast times.
@@kimmern999 all I know is that the 2000-2010 decade was way more competitive in the 5000m....it started with Haille, Kenenisa, his brother Tariku, Kipchoge, El Guerrouj, Lagat, Tedese amongst others...Farrah came into the picture in 2008/9 and was never a favorite... 2003 5000m WC, which Kipchoge won, the first 8 finishers ran under 13.06s!!! Thats racing!!!
Hahaha 4:31 opening mile hahaha yay it's nice to know my PR OF 4:24 would have lead this field hahaha. At the end of that mile I would have been done and dead though hahaha. Those guys are amazing.
@@gusthegoat250 nah I clicked on this and checked the comments and saw this was posted 5 seconds ago. I checked when he uploaded it and it said 14 seconds ago
@@gusthegoat250 He's actually right. I commented within 19 seconds fro when it was posted. But just finished now. Although Wallace Bullock you can guarantee that his videos will be amazing.
Farah's record at championships is extraordinary. And he was often alone and up against team tactics and a lot of very obvious tripping attempts. Although Galen did give him some shielding on occasion. I'd have liked to have seen the odd WR to silence the doubters but he didn't really attempt those - gold medals mean more I guess.
Not at all. He was very beatable. His opponents were just stupid though and always played the game on his terms: slow first half running that benefited runners with amazing kick downs. If they had run for fast times, which many of them had capacity to do, he would have stood no chance.
I think Eliud still has a very slim chance even if he went out hard in the initial stages or the middle part of the race, as mo and Bernard can also hang with him at say 61-63 seconds per lap pace, and he simply lacks the finishing kick to beat those two if it comes to the last 400m.
@@Kipchoge475 Nah bro, you should have seen Eliud's kick to win in 2003. Granted, the pace was very fast before the final 400, but he went crazy to kick down El Geurrouj on that final straight.
@@timmytheinventor4746 that was in 2003. This particular race was in 2011.by then Kipchoge could no longer finish like he did in 2003-2008, especially in the 5000.he had a great kick, but it wasn't enough to win competitive 5000m races with top talents like Mo Farah and several Ethiopian stars emerging on the scene.but that 2003 win against Bekele and El Guerrouj was crazy.he really went all out, tooth and nail.
@@Kipchoge475 Yeah I get your point. If he was able to make the final he should have had a better kick. It was really Lagat that shuffled everyone around in this race. I think that the final in Daegu was one of the main reasons Eliud shifted to the roads. He just didn't have the wheels to keep up with some of the other guys.
@@Kipchoge475 Slo Mo can’t run with these guys of today. Nothing will be tactical with the talent of today so he won’t win a race from the gun. 13:20’s is a dime a dozen time
@@ThebigIndian in his prime, i'm pretty sure he can keep up with the kind of non-tactical pace this brilliant new crop of runners throw down.and he can still drop a 52-53 last lap, which I highly doubt Cheptegei or kiplimo can even with relatively fresh legs.
Wow, distance athletes actually competing with each other. Those were the days, when racing against the best mattered, instead of chasing artificial world records on robotic shoes in paced races.
Except they didn't run distance running runs though. They jogged around the track for more than half the race in the hope that they could/might outrun some of their opponents over the last two laps. Before this, distance running was always about putting your body to the test when it came to raw stamina and capacity. Runners like Haile Gebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele, Daniel Komen, etc. always ran amazing times pushing the boundaries of what was humanly possible to do when it came to low times. This stupid waiting game during Farah's era produced some of the poorest chamionship winning times ever seen in the history of athletics.
@@kimmern999 if you like watching one robotic, chemically and mechanically enhanced competitor glide behind a wall of pacers to break “records,” that is your privilege, but it is not athletic COMPETITION. It’s an exhibition, and has all the excitement of a local charity run. Lovely for the runners (and in the case of the modern automatons, they are getting paid well) but as boring as watching boats drift down a canal. You state, “But they didn’t run distance running runs?” Seriously? So according to you, the runners of the past didn’t “run” when they competed in 3-10K & the marathon. This will come as a surprise to competitors going back to Zatopek and Nurmi. This video, which shows the best of their time matching skills, wits, and heart against one another is what running used to be all about. And records were set when the best runners pushed one another, not when a sponsor or two, paying for training and pacers, put a robot on the track or road to chase numbers.
@@andrewyarosh1809 When you win the 5000m in 13:50 which Farah did in 2015 WC, there is no one pushing anyone. They just check to see which distance runner who can run 800m the fastest. And why do you talk like I primarily advocate todays "robotic" record running? I'm just saying that Mo Farah wasn't a true distance runner. There have been 17 WCs in the 5000m. Only three of those have had winning times that were weaker than Mo Farah's fastest winning time. Out of the 11 WC winners who ran faster than Farah (most of them significantly faster), only two of them have come later. Nine of those times (usually ran around the 13 minute mark) came at WCs predating Farah's dominance. I'd appreciate if you could refrain from putting words in my mouth.
@@kimmern999 Times, times, times. If that’s what floats your boat, great. The objective in a WC RACE is to win a medal. That makes you a WC on that day, which is all that matters to me in the end. And those four top guys look like their pushing pretty hard to me.
Meh... Mo Farah. A mediocre distance runner than won a myriad of medals solely due to his opponents failure to apply proper tactics in order to beat him.
@@OneMoMile Not at all. He was just lucky the others had no strategic or tactical prowess. If they were running at the speeds they do nowadays, he would be a middle of the field runner.
@@kimmern999 lol so for 10 yrs they had no strategy to dethrone him eventho u think they were better than him? Alchahol is determental 2 ones health. Thank God I don't drink or do drugs

One question, where do you find videos of these races?
I love your videos - so inspiring ;-)
wow. simply amazing. the pace was slow, but i still would be sprinting to keep up : ]
When can we get a face reveal
Soon
Wait hasn't he done a face reveal already?
Watch his KIpchoge challenge video. You can see Andrew's sweaty face in action.

I Remembered That Race Mo Farah Came Back To the 5000 Meters after placing 2 in the 10,000 Meters
I wish we have another track star in the US like Garen Rupp and Bernard Lagat.
with those one great legend was missing "KENENISA BEKELE" the ultimate G O A T
