@@king-qi2ks I think everyone is super tired in a running race they just have to maintain form so they don’t show it. If you let your form breakdown when you’re tired it’s just gonna get that much harder
Jazzy J true true his 1500 times does say enough. Although in this mile race for a full mile he really flew and dropped his previous time down by a lot.
Kevin Hernandez yeah definitely a huge drop. I guess what I’m saying is that it was expected. NOP wouldn’t have picked him up if they didn’t think he could run under 3’55
Jazzy J yes definitely he was expected to hit that. I’m glad NOP picked him up, but sadly with everything that happen with NOP he’s still doing amazing with Nike. Every race he proves hes got it and of course without a doubt he’ll be a olympian!
Can someone explain the leading pace runners? are they competing in the race? does each team have a specific person for this or does each runner within a team do this at specific times?
I ran track back in my youth days.... can someone explain to me why sometimes people just stop running in the middle of the race? He didn't look too fatigued to stop?
How is that fair that half the guys start on the outside but they are way up front? is there a rule that they have to stay in that lane for half a lap or something?
To avoid crowding at the start some runner must stay in the outside lanes for the first lap or two (depending on the exact rules). That would mean they run a further distance if they didn't start a bit ahead. It's calculated so that regardless of starting position the runner will cover the same distance (unless they go wide to pass). This is more obvious in 200 or 400m sprints where the athlete cannot change lanes at all.
“His mustache is flying in the wind.” That is goated
This is the type of race where u hop on the track one type of runner and you come off the track a different man
Joaquin Ramirez yep basically he had to break thru a mental barrier in that race
But at the same time, 4:01 is still an incredible time
@@nathanvanderpool1175 4:01 is an INDICATIVE time... Indicative of a runner that has a little further to go in terms of breaking mental barriers.
Wow...very well said. Amazingly poignant.
i laughed HARD when engels stuck his tongue out on last lap. he really is the definition of pure-joy-running
Great commentator. A step above the normal dudes you get to call these races.
When he smiled with 150 to go...
When you run a 3:56 mile & finish 3rd.
Taking charge in a race like that and still putting down a massive kick, oh baby
They always look so calm. I can run a 5min mile but it feels like I’m just flailing about with a massive grimace for the second half
i hit a sub 5 minute mile once and thought i was going to die lol
So...you should be a 4:25 guy.
Train at 60-75% of your maxHR and see that time fly down....as you fly around that last 300...
Honestly, even tho the 5k runners look so calm and smooth but when I’m running an all out 5k I look like I’m bout to die
@@king-qi2ks I think everyone is super tired in a running race they just have to maintain form so they don’t show it. If you let your form breakdown when you’re tired it’s just gonna get that much harder
Also athlete special spotted at 4:27👀
Joaquin Ramirez yeahhhhh
Saw him too and was looking in comments for someone else who saw 😂
Lmao I thought that was him
lol nice
Joaquin Ramirez that’s not him
His mustache is flying in the wind? They're indoors!
Hunter Morgan haha
He's running in excess of 13mph... You don't think he's experiencing any airflow?
william dowling he’s running about 15.3 mph
@@williamdowling7718 its just a joke, hes running faster than must of us can, like 99 percent of people.
Hunter Morgan r/woooosh
👏Good job flo track, this isn't a decade old!👏
This race always puts a smile on my face
My man went from a 4:01 to a 3:53😳😳
His 3’37 1500 said enough about his times. 3’42 is about the equivalent of a 3’59-4’00 mile.
Jazzy J true true his 1500 times does say enough. Although in this mile race for a full mile he really flew and dropped his previous time down by a lot.

One Word "STUD"
I remember running the same time.. On my half mile... Incredible!
This guy is absolutely my favorite runner to watch, he made that look so so easy...
goosebumps.
Was lookin for someone to comment this :) Really stunning stuff!
Loved the commentating
3:52 without the mustache
AMAZING COMMENTATOR
His mustache flying in the wind!!😂
Very good mile time. I'm impressed.
Crazy speed/endurance
That stache definitely gives him some lift when he exceeds 15mph
Imagine your first sub-4 being 3:53.94
this commentator is so much better than all the others they get
Craig goes through in 2flat. coming back in 1:53... oooof
The guy who came last ran like a 4:10. Rip to my man who probably also ran a pb
4:01, not 4:10. Craig cut 8 seconds, not 17.
Engels' kick - wow!
Can someone explain the leading pace runners? are they competing in the race? does each team have a specific person for this or does each runner within a team do this at specific times?
They are the pacemakers/rabbits their job is to set a certain pace for the race, they get paid for it.
I think the mullet adds a sort of aerodynamic advantage but the joy for running is his real edge.
why do some of them just run off the track
They are pacers
thatboss 21 what does that mean
@@sheawhitetoney they run with the runners for a bit of the race to help them finish the race in a certain amount of time
thatboss 21 ah, thank you kind sir
A 3:55 and you come in second...
His mustache is flying in the wind!!
Man I’m 15 and went to track as a sprinter now 8m watching this cuz I gotta run the 1 and 2 mile race
3:53sec to run a mile?
I ran track back in my youth days.... can someone explain to me why sometimes people just stop running in the middle of the race? He didn't look too fatigued to stop?
they have pacers, or "rabbits" for pro races to set the pace for the first part
すご
"his moustache is flying in the wind."
We love you Mr. Mullet
Who is that guy wearing red shirt 2.56?
Is this track smaller or something ?
What the heck did the guy fourth from the inside throw on the ground at the beginning
Benjamin Dover His race number fell off I think
nobody is going to talk about the sub optimal O2 level with all these people stealing fresh air.
3:12 ,A wild Demetrius "Mighty Mouse" Johnson appears!
He was a very good runner in his own right
finally good commentators
I love mustache man
Steve Prefontaine?😂😂
Sports Nut reincarnated
Patrick Wu yah haha
Humans aren't supposed to look that strong after running 1350 meters that fast.
his tongue is out on the back straight! WITH THE MULLET! MUSSSSSSSTACHE FLYING IN THE WIND
What is the story with the pace runners ?
Chariots of fire???
hover your mouse over this vid's thumbnail. it's great
Why those two just hop out of the track?
They're pacers, they set the pace for the other runners to hit a certain time and leave the track before the finish, they get paid to do it.
ok ok i seee u
How is that fair that half the guys start on the outside but they are way up front? is there a rule that they have to stay in that lane for half a lap or something?
Yes. As you can see, they don’t cut in until after the third turn.
“HIS MUSTACHE IN THE WIND”
This is 2 years old
And?
That’s my 100m pace😊
So I don’t watch much athletics.... came up in my recommendations, why was there a grew of guys starting ahead of the others???
To avoid crowding at the start some runner must stay in the outside lanes for the first lap or two (depending on the exact rules). That would mean they run a further distance if they didn't start a bit ahead.

a361lbs cheers!!!
Engles had the greatest look since Burt Reynolds. Can't believe he shaved his stache and lost the mullet.
Bro wtf howwww
Never gone below 4 minutes and then suddenly goes below 3.54???? Seriously? Who improves their mile PR by more than six seconds at this level?
Anyone notice the athlete special at the end lmao
These guys pace is faster than my 3 sec sprint.......
3 seconds for 20.63 meters is good, though
He had the full handlebar stache by the time he got home!
this video is shorter than my mile time wtf!
next target 3.47
The length of this video is my 1600m pr LOL
again 2 years to late :(
Hes not even breathing hard .
Must they show spoilers in the title and thumbnail ??
Not really breakout if he’d done the same thing in the 1500 earlier I feel
Pronounced "Oregun" not OreGone.
Was he doping..?
ORGONe
social distancing in the crowd.?
This race happened back in 2018
First
Third
First.
Craig Engels hasn't achieved anything, and is already a has-been. Yikes
terrible
