The mile world record has stood at 3:43.13 since July 7th, 1999. On that fateful day in 1999, the Moroccan distance running great Hicham El Guerrouj broke the world record, and since that time that was over 20 years ago, no athlete has run within 3 seconds of his performance.
There are many reasons why it has been difficult to break El Guerrouj's time, but it might just be impossible to break the 3:40 barrier.
Leave a comment on when you think someone will break El Guerrouj's world record, and feel free to comment on whether or not you think anyone will ever break the 3:40 mark.
Thanks for watching!

They said the 4 minute mile was impossible too.
That One not to mention, Suppliments and nutrition has improved greatly! Athletes in college are spoilt man. Coaches are also smarter due to studying how coaches at the top do it.
3:40 will be broken in 30 years mark my words
Albert Weedstein The Thug Genius
Less. That's what I think
That One
I bet it will still happen. Some monster will come out of nowhere and do it
That One innovation will continue, there is no limit
I remember when El Guerrouj said that a hundred years from now the mile record would be less than two seconds faster than it is right now, I thought he was crazy but almost 21 years later no improvement. Greatest sports record of all time.
right
His outdoor records will last for a long while . The man was a beast , but I'm sure humanity will produce similar or better , life evolves always .
@@nizarfa3668 human bodies won’t change in 100 years but chemicals might
Shaving 30 seconds off a marathon is easy you have so much time to adjust, shaving 1 second on mile will be amazing, I was happy with just breaking 6 min mile haha 😂
He also holds the 1500m
The fastest I achieved was in college at around 4:35. Imagining 15 seconds faster each lap is incomprehensible.
That is still unbelievably impressive bro
It really is. I hit 4:25 in high school and was running againt people like Ian Dobson and Eric Logston, so they made me look like I was standing still. Yet even them weren't as fast as 55 seconds a lap. Truly insane.
Wow. That's really fast dude. I'm impressed.
My lowest time (converted from the 1500) is 4:40 flat and I ran a 4:41 true mile during indoor season this last year. But god damn running 15 seconds faster every lap?? I can barely keep a 54 for a single lap. It is crazy to think tho that my best 800 time of 2:02 is only 20ish seconds from the WR and then my best mile time is a full minute away.
The fastest I achieved was 5:24 at 16 and got back in shape after high school 5:28 at 25 I can't imagine Im 35 and would be winded if I tryed low 6s lol
year 3000: Why running A Sub 3:00 MILE is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
LMAO
Year 2105 or 2145, not that long
Maybe the wr will be 2:40 10 seconds a 100 meter
Never gonna happen.
A sub 5.376x10^-6 seconds is impossible since that's the speed light travels in a mile.
At 6:37 his addams apple looks like a face. I can't unsee this!
Megumi that’s gotta be photoshopped!
Haha oh god.
I see George Washington
Lol!!!!
Holy shit
I believe part of the problem is the mile isn't run often. It's not an Olympic distance. The 1500m is an Olympic event.
Elguerrouj holding 1500m record as well
I believe that is the main reason too not many pro’s chasing the mile, it probably helps also when you have someone really battling it out for the win too
well , El guerrouj is holding that record too since 1997

Several years ago we attended a regional NCAA track meet in Arizona USA. At the mile run four contestants broke the four minute mile. One generation ago this would have made history but in the present day not an eyebrow was raised. We are in awe of the athletes in all fields and look forward to their thrilling performances in the future.
You are such a running nerd.. and for that we love you! Keep making great content!
Man, TP is on a whole new level. I've been looking for content like this my whole life. Geeked out
I feel like perhaps the most overlooked aspect of improving the mile world record (and any individual’s PR for that matter) is outright sprint speed. For some to average 54.6 per lap for a mile they would almost certainly have to be capable of a 46 second 400, maybe 47 low at worst. VERY few milers are capable of that, with Seb Coe being the closest I can think of. Additionally, they would require all the VO2 max and lactate threshold abilities previously mentioned. Who knows when we’ll see all that.
I watched the Moroccan great throughout his career, and I think having equally talented rivals was a huge difference in his era. Those races were hell from the gun. A few reasons why I think that record will stand for another 50 years +. You have to commit to the distance over your entire career, and not move up for the kickers win. Second, Hicham is truly special, and when you combine that mind with his grind, ain't nobody better. Bekele too...
Sebastian Coe and Roger Bannister had similar talent and sizzling closing speed, their disadvantage was training alone for the most part. I've seen so, so many exceptional athletes with God given leg speed. But only ONE El G!!!
I'm thinking about breaking the record. But marijuana is legal where I live so maybe some other time.
Locutus D'Borg morocco exports marijuana the atlas where elguerouj trained is the land of marijuana lol
What do you mean not move up for the kickers win
@@hamzajon8823 zip it moron
I'm proud to be Moroccan.. Maybe El gerrouj's WR will last forever.

@@Davesunflower ....congratulations for the dumbest comment in this video right now.
@@magnomliman8114 he was protected, everyone else he knew was doing it and got caught, he was a national hero, he was saved, he was a cheat and your dumb in denial, DRUGS!!!!
@@magnomliman8114 As much as I want to believe that he was clean like you do, I cannot find it anything else but highly likely he did it on drugs. The guy failed two Olympics, trained with Kenyans in altitude and then suddenly improved? I do not in anyway wish to bring him down or anything, he's hands down the greatest middle distance runner ever and even any other with drugs couldn't keep up to his standards. The only one who did anywhere close was Kiprop who was caught for it and that just goes how far to prove that an exceptionally talented athlete like Kiprop with drugs also just made it close to his time. Implying that a drugged talented athlete couldn't make it to a 'clean' one's time - something I find very hard to belive
a commentaire stupide. Des accusations complètement gratuites.
Well it technically is possible downhill I would guess
Blotch that wouldn’t count
Your quads would actually give out faster. It would probably be faster on a flat surface
It for sure is! nick symmonds just recently broke 4 minutes in the mile running downhill!
He had run a mile time trial on the track a week previously and he could only run 4:40ish
Imagine how fast elite milers could run if they did there runs downhill!
Erick Sanchez that’s not true. People have run faster than 3:40 downhill but it doesn’t count because it’s such a big advantage
Gabriel Lloyd the question was mainly based on a mile on the track since there are no advantages
3:36 HE DID IT EVERYBODY, EL GUERROUJ RAN A 3:34.13 MILE DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO!!!
I don’t get the joke,can someone explain it to me?
on drugs
Jokah Baby at 3:36 under the mile, there was a typo, 3:43 changed to a 3:34
When you see Michael Norman, you think maybe there is a chance at the 400 WR
When you see Donovan Brazier, you think maybe there is a chance a the 800 WR
When you see Selemon Barega, you think maybe there is a chance at the 5000 WR
..... but no one even seems in the realm of the MIle WR......
Give this man (Timothy Cheruiyot ) a proper MILE training for 2-4 yrs and watch him fly to a WR
Facts!!! Maybe Cheserek tho
Demetrius Johnson I think the closest guy is Yomif Kejecha with that indoor 3:47.01. Which is amazing!! But even than.... still a far cry from 3:43.12
Also Joshua cheptegei for 5000
Yuta 10k more so

During the race when HEG set the world record, Noah Ngeny came in second place also breaking the previous world record while only 20years old. Can you imagine the guts it took for him to stick with HEG?
It kinda shows that our physical limits are probably just in our minds. Imagine if there were no HEG running in that race. Would Noah Ngeny still clock in the same time? I think not. And even then he would supposedly have given it his all.
A bit like Amos hanging with Rudisha and running the 3rd fastest 800m ever
I remember watching that race in awe. I watched on TV live and I was at work and just couldn't believe it. So crazy.
I would be so sick if I beat a world record and still didn’t win the race

Could you do a video about how COVID-19 is affecting track and field this year. My high schools track season is going to get canceled I think and that threw me off but I cannot imagine how it’s affecting pros. I went into this season expecting to run really fast times and then within a couple days my season fell apart. I would love to see how this is affecting pros and possibly even the Olympics. I have already watched your video on the London Marathon and it’s cancelation I just want to see the whole picture.
Music_is_a Lifestyle You should time trial with you team (or just by yourself)
Music_is_a Lifestyle Yeah I’m a senior who was on pace to break a few school records but that’s ruined, however, that’s nothing compared to people dedicating their whole lives to this sport and to the upcoming olympics in Tokyo.
Same for me bro. My school is closed until April 6. But if you keep practicing and stay healthy while most athletes wont. You will have a state champ possibly if track opens back up.
Trevor Witherspoon That’s the hope, I only fear they will rush into cancelling the whole season instead of maybe just suspending it for a month and continuing in May.
@@ActComplicated Well the 1 track meet I had at the begging of march I broke my schools record in the 400m. But it's a matter of luck if the season will start.
Noah Ngeny also broke the world record at the same race as El Guerroul, but no one notices because he came in second.
He came second so there's milliseconds difference and that's count I guess
You answered it yourself...He didn't break the record when someone else ahead of him already broke it
@@aminkabuli9415 Absolutely. Elementary! As Sherlock Holmes would have said!

Watch Hicham El Guerrouj's head motion. It's like he's a hummingbird whose head is motionless while the rest of his body is buzzing. That's part of where he got his efficiency -- less wasted up and down motion (at least until the last few meters when he was gassed). Part training, part skeletal gift.
Honestly, I think the fact that the world record hasn’t moved since 1999 has more to do with the tactical nature of mile races in recent years than lack of human capability. If Cheuriyot got a rabbit through 1200m, I bet he could run under 3:45 for sure right now, and probably give the world record a run for it’s money.
Every time I see Rudisha's 800m record I still can't believe it.
If they had RUclips back in the day we could all go back and watch the video about how a 4 minute mile was impossible
Thanks for another in depth analysis
Nearly all leaps in reducing world records are directly related to technology, not athletes' abilities. There's a great TedTalk on it. Fascinating stuff. I';m glad you mentioned the "spring loaded" NIKE shoes.
Out of the 10 fastest times El Guerrouj has 7 !! 6:31
Great vid! Just like to point out at 3:33 you flipped the 4 and 3 for the mile record... unfortunately I don’t think a 3:34 mile will ever happen
Haven’t seen a vid this thorough in a long time
THE GOAT IS BACK WITH AN EPIC VID!!
I enjoyed watching the video, thanks. However, the 20-seconds premise seems rather arbitrary for the following reasons: (1) one could have picked 21 seconds or more and made the same argument, so it suffers a round-figure bias; (2) for 800m, the premise is nearly broken and it’s almost certainly only a matter of time before someone runs it in 1:40; (3) there is no scientific or fundamental physiological basis for the “curve over-fitting” implicit in the 20-seconds premise, as there are many other simple linear formulas one could have picked that would upper-bound WR speeds from 400-2000m.
An intuitive model would add increasingly higher penalties per lap for increasing distances, not a fixed -20 seconds on the total, e.g., a bound like (40 + sqrt(#laps-1)*2 + 8) seconds per lap and you can play curve-fitting with constants per your whims or based on sound physiological models; at least this model bounds world records pretty tightly all the way up to a marathon. The strange model proposed in this video - namely (60s/lap*#laps - 20s) as a bound on the total - is the reason why 800m happens to be the optimum distance to hit that bound even though there is nothing special about 800m.
It is of course *possible* that the proposed model in the video is correct. Or not. We don’t know. But it’s fun food for thought.
The actual way to do this is to fit a (probably Gaussian) distribution to the already known running times and calculate the probability at
@@viharsarok I think this is a bad model because the Gaussian has theoretically infinite tails whereas the times run are bounded.
It could be another way to look at it, but better models probably take into account the physiological characteristics of elite runners and fit models to these.
@@thetrickster42 Why is it a bad model? The tails are infinite so what? I don't get your point. I've actually looked up some papers online and they use similar models.

Great video, love El G what a runner ♥️
Superb channel
What is amazing about Bannister's record is that it was completed with a shit diet, poor shoes, a cinder track, wind interference at the track. For the mile WR to not only be 20 seconds in front of that all these years later, evidences just how outstanding that performance was.
I remember looking at chart of world records during a high school track team meeting and 55 for 4 laps looked extra impossible and sure enough it is one of the few still holding up.
Hicham holds few records for more than 20 years, other athletes in other disciplines hold them for more than 30 years. Despite all these new advanced running shoes, supplements, testing equipment ... etc athletes still struggle to break these insane times.
We need an athlete who has the El Gueroujj / David Rudisha combo, equipped with those Nike shoes which Kipchoge used to set the marathon record.
Thanks for telling us what is not possible when others are training hard to make it possible …
Came back to this video after Jakob andn Ngouse dropped 3;43 miles tonight, and like 10 or 11 guys broke 3;50.
only 63 under in all of the years - damn near the whole field this race went sub 3;50
Is the mile going to more or less "stall" where it is now, because it's a rare event so to speak? I feel like it's always a 1500 and if it's a mile it's a sit and kick race. Could we get a sub 3:40 if it was big prize money to do it?
10ktube absolutely
big prize money means slower times because everyone wants to sit and kick, decent prize money and a big bonus world record prize money would do the trick
But the 1500 record has stalled too. HEG has both. If somebody was able to break his 1500, then I would think there's someone who can break the mile. But I dont see it coming.
HEG's 3:26.00 1500m time would be 3:40.96 had he kept the same pace for an additional 109 meters. That's unlikely - race conversion calculators suggest around 3:41.9. So it's probably fair to say that roughly half of the improvement necessary to achieve 3:40 could come from just running it more frequently.
Another interesting point though about Hicham El Guerrouj's world record in the 1500 meters - he ran the last 300 meters in 39.66 seconds which is a ridiculous 3:18 pace!! So given that he had so much gas left in the tank at the end for a sprint finish, he coulda come darn close to 3:40 with better pacing and better pacers.
If someone broke or got close to the 1500m world record they could absolutely break the mile world record as well. It's basically the same event. What would probably happen is someone manages to run around 3:26-3:27 for the 1500m and then a world record attempt for the mile is staged. But currently no one is that fast so an attempt would be rather pointless.
3:40 is not impossible but very unlikely in the next 20 to 50 years. Maybe with improved shoes and a faster surface but even then this number is crazy. There are other barriers more within reach.
Thank you so much for making this video! I love the mile and I run it myself!!! Thx!!!
Hey content creator, this was an awesome video. 🎓💎💯👍🏾
Haven’t we learned this past October that nothing is impossible!? “NO HUMAN IS LIMITED!!!!”
I’m looking forward to seeing those race times drop with those new track spikes from Nike that have the carbon plate in them.
I mean IDK how 100m spikes will help lower the mile WR, but alright
We also forget that it's not only about VO2 max
(which is a stupid measurement for everything but long distance running) and Lactic Threshold (which is another easily misunderstood and useless measurement for short distance running, it's actually Lactic REUPTAKE. Meaning how much LACTATE can your body absorb for ENERGY. Lactate is a sugar people and it's impossble for it to form an acid base) but height, limb length, stride, runners economy and form are WAY more important.
That's one of the reasons Usain Bolt STILL has his world record.
How many 6'4 sprinters even exist? Most are playing football, basketball or soccer.
I guarantee that if taller individual came into mile running they'd probably bring it down to 3:38, that's my guess. And I think the absolute fastest time is probably gonna be 3:37.883.
@@cartoonhanks1708 how many people focus on the 1500 instead of the mile too.
@@cosmicmoonman1896 they released matumbos which are fir djstance and there is a prototype zoom victory whixh would be for the 1500 to mile
@@cartoonhanks1708
Usain isn't really a good example because he's a short distance sprinter. And there is clear evidence that being that tall does not make you faster than the rest of the competition. Look at the fastest times in the NFL combine there is nobody on that list over 6 1. The Nhl speed competition has no one over 6' 2" that has won the competition. Even in track and fields Usain is the only one that tall and that fast. He is truly unique and is in the world by himself. So don't expect the average tall person to be blowing past people like that. The majority of the speed lies between 5'8" to 6' 1".
No one:
Literally no one:
David goggins: you said impossible?
Super video again !
Nice video! Thanks!
Kipchoge: hold my beer.
actually, 80 Vo2 max is relatively low for the best of the best. For example the 8 time gold olympian cross country skier Bjørn Dæhlie had a Vo2 max of 96
It’s crazy high for a runner. Different sports produce different results, for example a runner with 80 might be over 100 if he had the build and body fat etc of a skier. The skier is using his entire body so there’s oxygen being shuttled all over the body.
@@HkFinn83Training at altitude can also make the body more efficient, which is likely why a cross country skier will have higher relative levels than somebody who trains at altitude. World class cyclists also have high Vo2 max. For example, Greg LeMond was 92.5.
already been done, Mike Boit ran 3.28.6 in Auckland on April 9 in 1983..........Admittedly down Queen street which drops about 50 meters over the course of the measured mile.
All of these guys run their miles so quickly. I put much more time and personal attention into my miles, at least 7 minutes. So they're much higher quality, and I savor them.
Just a theory, but since only Britain and US use mile as a unit, is it possible that some elite athletes choose not to participate in miles competition because of the limited audience?
In 30 years: Why breaking a 3:30 mile is almost impossible
Hisham is one of the most underrated athletic super humans like Usain Bolt. But very few people know about him.
Love the way you explained this with science
Epo+ Talent= possible
I would be stoked to see a 3:39 mile. As of now though, El Guerrouj is the greatest runner from 1500m to 2k including the mile.
PS: I had to look up El Guerrouj to spell his name properly, because I am unable to spell for myself.
Nice information
Sheesh... this guy is good at basic division; very insightful stuff. 🤔
Once upon a time, the 2 hour marathon was also impossible :D
and it is still impossible without Nike shoes, with high tech shoes it is possible to break the barrier of sound one day in the future or even literally fly in the air...

Eli Cha So you sent me a link to CNN, the biggest fake news media outlet you can possibly find. If you knew what you were talking about, you would also know that neither the vaporflys, nor the alphaflys are banned from competition.

Imagine if the Moroccan runner in the video prime version got his hand on modern shoes like the victory or dragon flies💀
Something you didn't note- after Hicham El Guerrouj got his 3:44:95 in 2001, the fastest time is a 3:47. It seems like the event plateaued in the 1990's, and no-one's come close to touching it. These things happen in sports, but I don't like the outlook with middle-distance running; while it could be possible, I don't think people will make it happen.
I mean, it's not even the most popular middle-distance event, and that says quite a lot.
He said take a Guess I guessed 3
Me three...
Minitron 11 Plays same
LOL I guessed 3 too.
so did I, should us 6 start our own league of extraordinary gentlemen?
Matt F yes we smart!!
Doesn't actually tell me why it's impossible though. Maybe if you told me there was a scientific study based on pacing or something, but this really just says "current world record is a world record"
Noureddine Morceli
2:38 the legend from my city.
I remember watching him live.
running is never about world records, or at least for me, its about the rush of lightness and improved mood after a good 10km run that keeps me doing it everytime...
Jakob Ingebrigtsen will do it. Ok, maybe not, but I'm confident he can break 3:43, and maybe even 3:42. He's insanely talented, and still just 19. (his 3:30.16 on the 1500m equates to a
3:46.82 mile)
Also, keep in mind that Hicham's 3:26.00 at the 1500m equates to a 3:42.34 mile. (The mile is much rarer than the 1500 at global meets)
What's amazing is that at age 17 Jakob ran 5.14 seconds faster than mile legend Steve Cram did when he was 17 (3:52.28 vs 3:57.42) And Steve Cram ended up with a mile PB of 3:46.32 (still 4th fastest man in history) (El Guerrouj, Ngeny, and Morceli ran their first mile when they were either 18 or 19)
What's interesting is that Steve Cram's PBs in the 1500m and the Mile is basically just as strong (many runners have a much stronger 1500m PBs than mile PBs)
His 3:29.67 1500m equates a 3:46.29 mile, and his 3:46.32 mile equates a 3:29.70 1500m.
I hope he breaks the current record, I would love to see it. I still have my doubts because running is not perfect math and his actual mile time is still far from El Guerrouj.
3:39 in 2030. No faster
Psychodelic that’s what they said about the marathon
I think it is an eventuality but as the video explains its an exponential curve. I think the mile needs to be contested more frequently rather than 1500 and then offer huge bonus for WR. They would have to keep doing this until 3:40 is broken. This gets more runners focused on it/invested in it. The Ovett/Coe/Cram progression on the WR in the 80s is a great example of what happens when elites get focused on it and race it frequently.
Within 5 yr the WR goes down because I think its due. It might take significantly longer to do 3:39 since the record has progressed just 6 seconds in my lifetime. It may not drop that low in the 21st century but it eventually will.
This makes excellent sense physiologically. There are likely limits to the three different energy systems we have and increases in velocity require exponential increases in the amount of force/energy required to reach them. The slow-twitch oxidative system can only push so much oxygen per second through muscles which explains the approximate 1 minute per lap limit in combination with the added boosts of energy from the glycolytic and Creatine & ATP immediate energy systems. Likely, all three of these would need to be at their absolute peak from training in addition to someone having genetics that support extremely high capacities for all three systems to have adequate energy flow to break this barrier. Likely possible to do, but unconventionally you would probably need to train all three systems to their peak, including sprint-endurance which modern training methods do not include I don't believe.
I recall that Derek Clayton’s 2:09 marathon lasted a decade and seemed unbreakable. I like the math here but athletes find a way
Remember this comment, I’m going to beat this time record.
Edit: I decided to go with a different goal, running a marathon without stopping is where I’m looking to get, I’m already able to run 6 miles without stopping, I’ll keep you updated.
x doubt

So far I’m running 4 miles in 30 min, I’m not sure if that’s good or not, but whenever I get my 4 miles down better I’m gonna start sprinting it for as long as I can, hopefully it’ll build up my speed in order to beat this, but who knows.
@@thomas7571 there is 0 fucking way you will beat it
All the best to you, but and your 4 mile time will need to be down at 16 minutes before you could consider even a sub 3.50 mile. These guys can all run 5kms in 13mins or quicker. Super fitness and super speed.
Good luck
At 3:31 of the video, there's another error. Wayde Van Niekerk's WR 400 meter was actually 43.03 seconds, not 43.30 seconds.
Dang, I feel pretty good about my 55-57 vo2 max now😂
Just wait, Jakob Ingebrigtsen is going to beat the WR
He Will beat the wind hhh
I highly doubt it.He might be talented but it will take a monster to beat that record.
With all the precision (especially in training) required, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jakob Ingrebritsen gets close to 3:40. Maybe 3:42 or even 3:41
Little did u know
amazing .. thank you
Great video
Is 5:38 a good mile time for an 8th grader
Caleb Gilbert yes, i was the second fastest miler at my middle school and i got a pr of 5:34 in eighth grade
I was the second fastest as well, but first place got 5:28
Caleb Gilbert thats pretty good :) shoot for 5:30
Well, I was a junior and my best time was a 5:35 so I'd say that's pretty good xD

Simply the Best Hicham El G. !!!! ❤️🇲🇦❤️🇲🇦❤️🇲🇦
when el g ran 3:26 in a 1500 if he had run 100m with his fast ass kick he prob could’ve run 3:40 flat
Yeah its weird cause I feel like a 3:26 1500 is more impressive than a 3:43 mile. Youre running at a pace of 55 seconds a lap or approx. 14 sec per 100m. If he could've held that pace for 109 more meters he probably wouldve gotten a 3:41
Unfortunately that's still above 3:40 though
Shahiru Perera yeah bro that’s what i’m saying totally ageee 🙌🏻
Gotta take into account that the 3:26 included a kick already.
Stephen Tai true but el g is a absolute monster he prob could’ve pained another 100m meters he’s had workouts that hurt hella a lot
Why don’t they just run faster?
because it takes a LOT of stamina. They are already running their fastest. It takes a ton of training and prep.
@@KP-md3oe yes
Nebneb 5 oh shit you’ve found it out, might aswell get 3:30 if they’re going to bother running faster
They said we would never break the sound barrier.
ESPN sports science had a great book, Faster, Higher, Stronger, several years ago, and they had it several seconds below 3:40 but IIRC not much, around 3:30. They discuss things like oxygen intake like you do here,, but a few other things like size of the athlete, maybe even ability to take in more oxygen since I seem to remember one of the chapters was about longest time holding one's breath underwater and part of that was if someone was born at a very high altitude, like in the mountains of Nepal.
Olympic sprinters run 100 meters in 9 sec, it’s incredible how someone can run 1600 meter in 3:40. Mind blowing 🤯
The speed of someone running a near 3:40 mile is nothing close to someone running a "9 second" 100 meter. Take Usain Bolt's 9.69 second 100 meter run time, and times it by 16 (for 1600 meters.) It comes out to be roughly 2 minutes and 58 seconds. If someone can run a 13 second 100 meter pace for a mile, it comes out to be 3 minutes and 47 seconds. *which would still not be a world record* The speed and power required to go from a 13 second 100 meter dash, to a sub-10 second 100 meter dash is not a cake walk.
Yo can we get some Kenyans in here
2:36 I predicted the number 3. Goosebumps! Every 5 second drop reduces the number of athletes by about 1/5.
Her : babe I’m home alone, but my parents only stepped out for 4 minutes.
This guy :
Almost impossible is not impossible. Several years before the 4 minute barrier was broken, almost everyone said it would be impossible. Years from now there will be videos like this one saying "Why running a sub 3.35 is almost impossible".....Remember, humans continue to improve because the human species continues to evolve.
400 m men 1993 , 1 Johnson 43.65 , 2 Reynolds 44.13 . 400 m men 2023 , 1 Watson 44,22 , 2 Hudson-Smith 44,31 . No improvement.
Hey ya all Jesus loves you! I hope that makes your day better, have a great one!
This was a good video, speed is hard to train but endurance is easy and when you do drugs see what happents to the Marathon records the last 20 years.
u need an athlete with the power of a sprinter. and yet the elasticity and looseness of a long distance runner.
