- The 5000 Meters is the most popular running distance in the world. With over 15,000 5k runs each year, millions of people toe the line to see how fast they can run.
Although many attempt this distance, few can ever call themselves the world record holder. In this video, we'll take a deeper look at the history of the 5000 meter race and see which athletes changes the running landscape the most.

Anyone else here after Cheptegei broke the WR in Diamond League in Monaco?
Bekele is still the record holder for the 5000m and 10000m.
The Ugandans record should not be official. He was literally handed the WR on a silver platter.
Please Watch this video. ( RUclips keeps removing the link. Search for WR comparison Showdown Bekeles vs Cheptegei by The Lapras Man) It's a side by side comparison of Bekeles real WR and the NN time trial by Cheptegei. The Ugandans splits were metronomic (2:37 per KM for the whole time trial!) Why is that? Because a machine was pacing him. Those robotic wavelight technology on the track. That whole thing was staged for him precisely. Like the INEOS challenge in Vienna. Planned by NN to the millimeter.
Watch the 5000m comparison too. Bekeles splits were Uneven. He had variations in his tempo. He had more in tank for sure. The thing is he ran by his heart and didn't have a whole team orchestrate and engineer a record for him. ...
Who's here after Cheptegei set the new world record in Monaco?
I watched him. Basically running 60 second laps. And looked so smooth and ran a lot of it by himself.
He’s got to be able to break the 2 mile record. right?
@@bnsz8704 You would think so. Give him a chance. :-)
It was the first world record to be set with a mechanical pacer, exactly on time, from beginning to end. Just incredible, but not equivalent to Bekele's.
@@diegomardones6651 Faster.
This may in fact be your best video. More like this please for all the distances.
It's going to take someone really special to even touch the current world record. Bekele is a freakin unicorn
Come see what just happened in Monaco. #UGANDAN
Not when you have a absolute freak like Joshua and monsters like Kipruto on the rise!!
Cheptegei
I hate to break it to you but the record has finally been broken.
I wonder what bekele could have ran with the lights and dragon fly shoes though
0:53 and to think there’s at least 5 guys at every high school XC meet that do this on the regular
Like 15😳
I'm an athlete who runs the 5k. I'm trying to decrease my time and do well for my team. These videos really inspire me.

Mine is 18:52, still slow 😃

Well done video. Being as old a I am, I still recall the Moorcroft 5K. It was huge news in the running community. He had the ability to run many distances very well.
Komen proceeds to set a new time trial^: runs a World Record
Haile: "And I took that personally!"
Superb content...more like this please. Fascinating to see the progression over the years and the personalities involved. Thanks for your hard work.
It would be great if you made similar videos for another distances like 1500, 10k and (half)marathon.
agree. i believe this channel can do that
And once upon a time, the world record for the mile was something like 6:20. Lol
Day after Thanksgiving and I'm thankful for another well produced TRP video !
Love this channel ❤️
I'm so glad to found your channel, I learn so much and I like the tempo of your video thanks ! Adrien
Brilliant video as always!!!!!
Great video! Thank you! I can remember watching Ron Clarke run the 3 mile event back in 1965 when I was just 15 years old.
You are one of the best producer of such videos. I think you should have mentioned other Haile's records in the video like you did for others because during those times Haile had a lot of other records. My all time best athlete in long distance running is the great Kenenisa Bekele!
Great video. Thanks for posting!
Great video! Nice work man!
7:18 imagine the crimes against humanity committed against him when he was in high school.
I love these videos, what a great channel 🙂
Great video! FYI Komen and El Guerrouj have both matched the 13 min 5k, 7.30 min 3k and 3.30 min 1500.
Love the videos!
Great video! Solid research.
Awesome! This is how a documentary should be made! More plz on other distances.
brilliant video. one of the best
Haile's eleven second cut on the WR in '95 leaves me choked up every time I watch it.
What courage it took that night to see it through, alone, for almost 4 laps.
Can you add a timestamp?
Do another one of these featuring summoning salt
Great piece thank you
Gracias por mostrarnos la historia de este bello deporte! Desde Vaenezuela
Looks like Jakob I. will be the next one of three (the others Aouita and Lagat) under 13 for the 5000; 7:30 for 3000, and 3:30 for the 1500. Just needs to crack 13:02.03 (his PB from 2019).
Can you make “the history of 10000m WR ?
BEST 🥇running channel on RUclips - amazing content brother.
Thanks sir for giving me good information....
You forgot to mention one thing- Saïd Aouita ran 13:00.40 in 1985, breaking Moorcroft's world record by 0.01s, 2 years before he broke 13 minute barrier in 1987. Love the video, one of your best so far.
Those early 5k records were impressive, maybe more so than current records. Compare: life to 1900 to 2000, training, nutrition, track surface, shoes (racing flats and trainers), and travel
Nope they weren't. You know that these atlethes from east africa had poor lives. Before fame they lived exactly maybe even worse than the europeans in 19s. Training is what it is all based on bro, you can't win without training so saying I had a bad training is the same as failing an exam and then saying I studied bad but I am still impressive. Your passion and how much time and effort you put on something is the most important thing after food tho.
@@hejda4101 Training is super important but today's tracks alone would take off 15 seconds
@@veridicusmaximus6010 I understand that things are more comfy now but even if we come to the marathon. Our generation is trying to go under 2h while in the 19s they barely made it under sub 3 hahahs. The only reason we are better now is because the challenge is higher. Back then there was no high records, which means they didn't have to push that hard. The records have slowly improved thru this century. One by one an athelete broke the record until we are finally here. So I think everyone that wins a race and specially sets a record is beyond amazing.
Back then athletes were amateurs.
If you were a professional, you were excluded from the Olympics.
Current 12:35.36
Please do a 10k video
Even now, near the end of 2019, nobody is anywhere close to running times in the 5000 like those run by Gebrselassie or Kenenisa Bekele. Heck, Paul Tergat's fastest times in the 5000 look awfully good today.
1 yr later the books were rewritten.
@@AP-fl8hr I'll say. Cheptegei's times were unbelievable. He must be a national hero in Uganda.

Jeeze, a hundred years later and I can barely break 18... XD
thnx for making great my country man
Said Aouita also ran under 1:44 for the 800m and 3:50 for the mile.
Great summary. I would like to run in 1896 or before and hope to get a better place. I think these people never used horses. Most people focused on building upper body strength and used horses for moving. These people seem to rely solely on running and not on upper body strength as much.long distance running minimizes upper body weight and strength and that may not be the most optimal body
What are your thoughts on Mo Farah’s announcement? Perhaps a video on it?
Hope he smashes it on the track!!!!
Aaron Malone me too! As a fellow Brit, I’m really excited to have a competitor in the men’s 10000m again
@@RandomGuy-dw7hf ya I'm Irish but I always have tried to watch Mo Farah's races,and when he went to the marathon it felt like he was almost retiring,but now that he's back I hope he can take gold at Tokyo!!!!
I wonder if Mo can beat Joshua Cheptegei
@@peterkabatha na doubt it but he's the king of tactical final
Kenenisa Bekele is a scary dude. He beats you in strength, he beats you in stamina, he beats you in speed.
What’s the music in the background?
And in August 14, of 2020, the great Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda broke the 5k world record by almost exactly 2 seconds, running an unimaginable time of 12.35.36
9:40 there are at least three athletes that accomplished this. Daniel Kommen, Hicham El Guerrouj and Said Aduida
I'd love to see a simulation of all the WR holders in this video
It would be cool to have a visual and watch the entire race
duuude, I run 5k for fun, and I thought I was fast when I finally dipped below 25 min, I thought I was fast. This video really put it inot perspective, how fast these dudes are. It looks much easier than the 100m sprint on video, but its painfully hard to get below 20min when you actually do it.
That’s true, I never even broke 21 minutes for my 5k
12:40 faster than I can run 800m on its own 🤯🤯🤯 can't imagine doing that after already having run 4.2km
Komen could have smashed 12.31 in 1996, only that he wanted to make sure against Haile. Komen is the best 5000 runner I have seen. He shone brightly, but only for a short time.
True!
No not a hope
Whether clean or dirty, these athletes have produced some amazing times!
Could you do the two mile next
Komen became a fast runner because throughout his childhood, when people called him, he sped up thinking they were saying “come on”.
From where is the whole footage of that old races?
what is the best coros watch?
Haile Gebreslase The GOAT.
Kenenisa Bekele the machine.
Wow Kuts bettered his first by 5 seconds, then another 5 seconds, then 11 seconds .... 21 seconds in total in 1.5 years wow
Bekele's record will stand years and more
Wrong!

You need to update it and talk about the Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei who has the current 5000m World Record.
Live the videos
J cheptegei is the new King now for the 5000m! Thanks
And its now officially broken Joshua cheptegei Uganda 12:35:36
Goat 🇪🇹
You need to update this.
Bekele is Amazing!
When your PB is faster than the first record on the list...
Do 800m or another 800m runner
What were doping controls like record drops 20+ seconds relatively quickly and then no further.
Here I am still tryina get the 1897 world record time
Cheptegei is the new king of the 5000m, what an amazing WR!
it must be called nike record technology was more seen than z power of z athelete so shame
No he is not. He had help from the wave lights technology on the track. It shouldn't be an official record. Kenenisa got robbed
@@yab7935 exactly bro! What a huge shame!
Bekele 5k meters may stand for 50yrs
Not any more
@@sofianakimbugwe7009 i watched the gallant cheptegei break the 16 yrs old bekele record and i can say he deserved it. Probably he may also break the 10k record as well
My hero
in terms of World Records the sport of running seems so interesting since it is proven by time!
9:48 Said Aouita, Hicham El guerrouj, Daniel Komen, Augustine choge and maybe Mohamed Farah
And bekele the grestest??
@@omarzannoni9801 he has never run under 3:30 1500m
Are you litsening to yourself, mo farah?? The guy has nothing to compare to these runners. His fastest times compare to 1970's runners
@@Pixelmas-ter7 I know that Mo Farah isn't in the same world as Gebresselassie and Bekele. I just listed the runners who ran under 3:30 for 1500, 7:30 for 3K and 13:00 for 5K. Mo Farah did that while Bekele never did that
@@user-op6ey5hy5m are you litsening to yourself or where are you getting your facts? I cant urgue with a stone.
Joshua Cheptegei has done it!
4:03 per mile... that is incredible
Now Joshua is new world record Holder 😎
Farah vs cheptegei.Its going to be tough.😐😐😐
Chetegei will destroy Mo!
Yo bekele’s birthday is June 13 and that date has good history with the 5k
Carlos Lopes Best Portuguese long distance runner of all times at 6:51 :)
2.31 per kilometer
thats a sick pace boys and girls
@Total Running Productions
9:45 That is actually not correct. Besides Aouita, there have been also Komen, El Guerrouj and Saidi-Sief, who accomplished 5000m under 13:00, 3000m under 7:30 and 1500m under 3:30. So there have have been 4 athletes, not only 2. Aouita's advantage compared to the others is that he also ran under 1:44 for 800m.
Morrocco definitely has a huge doping thing going on. It’s suspicious with Hicham el Gourrouj and Said Aquita both pushing the boundaries and considering the fact Morrocos running has been relatively irrelevant since
*had
In today's competitive environment, no record is secure even Bekele's 1237. But Bekele's 5k WR is about approaching the limits of human performance. The next 5k WR when it comes(it is inevitable) will exceed it by a second or two but not by more. I say the next 5k WR will be in the neighborhood of 1237 or so or around 402 mile pace
Record just fell. 12:35
7:23 what an unfortunate name that is
Mo Farah is going to run the 10,000m in the 2020 Olympics !
He has no chance.
Denis Daly even if he doesn’t at least he’s doing it!
Oh really?
Ya se rajo corriendo el maratón jaja , ya que no puede ganar ahí porque está Kipchoge

I'm going to break the world record for the 5k, the first one :v

handed on a silver platter? dude, you probably never ran yourself.
It's the 13 minute _mark_, not _barrier_.
Nothing special happens at 12:59 vs 13:01. Just a round number. The sound barrier is a physical barrier; a round number isn't.
But could it be a mental barrier? Thanks for the comment by the way. You make a good point.
Если существует идеальная техника бега, то это Кенениса Бекеле
8:40 12 minute barrier
My personal best is 25 mins. Can I break sub 23 in 2 months?
