...and now he's running 2:01:41 marathons at the age of 37. Just an absolute stud. It's no coincidence that he and Kipchoge have two of the most aesthetic and effortless forms in the sport.
Yeah does anybody really have the 2013 race? I mean they posted this one only a few days after the race and Im starting to wonder if they will actually put the 2013 one up? And if anybody has an actual link besides RTE which is useless if you are new to it and dont live in Ireland?.
No he didn't. Just rewatched the video. He ran 11.9-12.9 second. If Bekele could run 10.6, he would easily be capable of 45 for the 400m, and would also have run times like 1:38 for 800 and probably 3:22-3:23 for 1500m. 12s makes sense, he would likely run about the same in an open 100 FAT, and this is consistent with his 400m reported PB of super high 49. Bekele IS fast, but he isn't at the level of respectable D1 sprinters. If he was he would hold every WR from 800 up.
... Yea he is moving! But sprinting? Come on...Bekele can run 50s for the 400 give or take which would probably be like 11-12s range all out for 100m. These are 67s he is averaging covering 400m in. Insane? OMG yes. Sprinting? No way. Fast does not mean one is sprinting

It's crazy how these elite competitors pale in the presence of Bekele. My all-time favorite runner.
axlrosea675 Well. None of those were from Kenia or Ethiopia.
Perfect running form for Bekele. It looks effortless for him
Majestic running.
I wish I could sprint like Bekele for 10 km... :/ It's so amazing to see.
Great to Bekele do his thing...he has a bigger thigh muscles then any other runner.
so fast.. great performance..

Try the RTE player and type in run into their search
