Whatever fitness Kipchoge has lost to Father Time has only brought him somewhat back to the rest of the field. He still leads that field by an absurd distance. We should all consider ourselves lucky to watch this man run. Appreciate greatness y’all!
Not gonna lie, I was really hoping for a sub-2:01. But at some point we all have to be in awe that Kipchoge is still running these amazing times at the age of 38! Amazing
@@alistair7625 no. i just tell you how i feel about this. i know that he struggles with rain and hills, it would be amazing to see him winning such marathon. it's definataley not amazing to win every time and to win on courses that you've won before, and when you make it seem effortless and there's no one to challenge you and you run alone. that's why i don't have interest unless it's difficult and something he DIDN'T already done. 😉
she ran the race , he wasnt giving her a lift, such a crock of shit that women have two separate records , men get paced too. Should be a paced record and a non paced record for both men and women
He attempted to break the record during the first half. However people need to understand that breaking records require a lot of attempts even by the record holder himself
Well, duh , you don't know sh+t either, Kipchoge normally runs negative splits. He is the only wo beat the 2 hour mark in an unofficially race I. Vienna (go look that up ) . This 2:02:42 is the eight fastest marathon ever... a temperature lower, more competition or more lead runners could have made the difference in him beating his own world record
Excactly. I keep refreshing hoping the breakdown of her race will show up 😁. It's probably taking time because it deserves a proper breakdown. Tigist Assefa has quickly put herself in the list of the greatest runners.
But make no mistake Kiochoge at 38 years of age, running 202 is beyond incredible. And he has been doing it for decades. A kipchoge monument on the Berlin Square would honor him.
I was there at the very end on the stands.. he was magnificent. The way he runs on camera cannot even be compared to real life. Absolutely astonishing speed. I ran my first marathon in 4:30… to think he could’ve done 2 and tunen some in that time is unreal. Legend
This is a Eliud Kipchoge video but the highlight of the Berlin marathon was the incredible women’s world record by Tigist Assefa possibly the female performance of the year in the sport.
@@vick.8671 The female athlete of the year has go to Faith Kipyegon but I said possibly ‘female performance of the year’ which is based on a single performance and is a different category.
So many parallels here to real life goal & goal setting. Everyone is positive & excited and raring to go at the beginning when we’re setting the goals. But it’s only the few ones that persevere and push through the pain and disappointment that end up going the distance and reach the end.
Kipchoge has been amazing me for so many years that I find it mindboggling that even after all this time, he amazes me again. He is one of the greatest athletes of all time in my book.
like what Guiness says, the hardest record to break is to breake your own 👊🏻 Kipchoge has proven the world that he’s still in his prime today, what a great man 👊🏻
The split time of 1:00:22 would have been perfect if Kipchoge had been able to run consistent splits. But he got markedly slower for every 5K and wasn't able to turn it around. So in reality by the time he reached HM both sub-2 and world record were very unlikely. But it still got exciting in the end!
It's pretty amazing to me that a 39-year-old is still dominating the marathon. Looking at Kipchoge, Bekele we see that the best years for a marathon are actually the late 30s
@user-tn6xo3fe8r there are actually books written on this, mostly Kenya. Iirc the general consensus is it's a mix between the culture of running and the high elevation. They run from early childhood, run socially with each other from a young age, focus on a lot of slow pace high mileage work, and they put a high value on proper resting
@@DonGivani Kiptum was only a few seconds off World record in London which is not a fast course...he has only ran two marathons both under 2:02...the kid is only going to get better
What about the Ethiopian women's winner, who smashed 2 minutes off the world record & the 21 year old 2nd & 3rd place finishers, that were running their debut marathons?
From onset Kipchoge said, "my mind is on 2024 olympics. I want to win back to back to back olympic marathon." Its like he was saying, Berlin is just a preparation of what is ahead. Congrats our Goat!
I think he became slightly slower because he was running alone. If only he would have other pacemakers coming in for the last half of the race. Man is a legend. 🎉🎉
On my bicycle i was literally 15 minutes faster including some speed work. It is hard to imagine that pace running. Age 66 and heavy now. When young my FASTEST one mile was roughly 5 minute 20 seconds. Congratulations to the GOAT
I'm in my young days...early 20s and can do a 4:49 1500m. So I'm guessing around 5:10 ish mile. Can't even imagine maintaining that for 26 miles. Doing a 45 minute 10 k would make feel on top of the world itself
The GOAT of marathon and impho the GOAT of running altogether considering he is still breaking records into a relatively later life for international level of competition. How many other world beating athletes came and went only to disappear after a handful of seasons. This guy gives hope to those of us who may have fooled ourselves into thinking our best days are behind us
It's funny - a Tigist Assefa broke the women's marathon world record by an incredible 2 minutes 11 seconds...but Kipchoge gets a video for NOT running a world record. Waited all day to see if a video went up and since it's nearly 11pm my time I'm guessing this just wasn't important enough to get a video today. But, Kipchoge won his 5th Berlin Marathon so never mind the women's record, huh? Yes, that was sarcasm. I realize people have lives...
As much as I love Kipchoge, if Kiptum runs the Paris Olympic Marathon, I think Kipchoge's chance of a triple Olympic Marathon Gold is quite slim, simply due to his age. Would still love to see it happen though!
I'm impressed... with Kelvin Kiptum... still: 2h1m25s in London is sub 2h1m00s in Berlim. Assefa was fantastic and Kipchoge ended his career on a high note.
Hasn't ended his career here but maybe he should...the youngsters were not brave enough to take him on today but were still in toughing distance by the end..i cannot see him getting quicker now or defending his title in Paris...i understand his competitive nature will make him want to compete..personally i would rather see him go now and forever being seen as superhuman...rather than what normally happens when they lose and become more vulnerable and certain amount of disappointment kicks in with the masses because of the expectation and it takes a little shine off all that has gone before.
Zatopek is top , but definitely put Kipchoge above him... no question for me and I do think 80 percent of people in the world would put Kipchoge above Zatopek
Under these race conditions it would have been great to see Kiptum out there too.....if these two pushed each other in last 10k who knows what time they could run.
Everyone keeps saying Berlin is the one to do it , but the world record was nearly broken in London, the crowd lifts you more in London and why i think the under ,2hours will go in London.
saw him at km 9 and a couple hundred metres before the finish line yesterday and I can tell you every single person there was in awe of him, new world record or not. this man is phenomenal. keeping a pace for 42km that most people wouldn’t even reach for a short sprint, truly one of the best athletes of our time.
Kipchoge is not only a marathoner, he is a sportsman. I have come to like his mentality and respect he has for others. I am thinking of starting running short marathons and if possible '' keep jogging club '' I wish to congratulate the young girl who came third from TZ. Thanks to Nation TV and all those who made it possible for us viewers to enjoy watching.
He is the GOAT but I think bet Kiptum would have broken the WR in that race Unlike Eliud who is almost 40 🤯🤯 he is still capable of throwing down huge negative splits The Olympic triple will be almost impossible if Kiptum will be selected by the Kenyan team, the guy runs so aggressive and just throws down 2:46s Km’s at thd 30km mark
I’m going to assume a race strategy necessary to drop everyone early is not one that would result in a WR. Can’t blame him for wanting to secure a 5th victory first and foremost
JUSTAMENTE, ELIUD KIPCHOGE tiene el actual récord del mundo de maratón (42.195 metros) realizado en el Maratón de Berlín 2022 con un tiempo de 2:01:09 (a un INCREÍBLE ritmo de 2:52 minutos el kilómetro). Hoy domingo 24 setiembre 2023 marco un tiempo de 2:02:42, que implica 1 minuto + 33 segundos más lento (1.55 minutos) respecto del 2022; es decir, se quedó a 615.08 metros por detrás de la meta del 2022 (!), más o menos a 6 bloques (cuadras de 100 metros)...Sin embargo los primeros 21 Km. pasó en 1:00:22 (!/. HA REGRESADO EL "MONSTRUO" DE LAS MARATONES. VIVA EL REY
Looked to me like Kindie was there as an additional pacer. When the first dropped, he got into position ahead of Kipchoge as a replacement. Gotta respect the work of those pacers!
Shame the younger guys only decided to race for second...they would have caught him today ithey had been braver...even not being brave they had closed to 40 seconds...Kip still a fantastic runner but you have to suspect he has peaked time wise...Only a matter of when and where when one of the ever improving group of youngers break the veil of reputation down....great victory for Kipchoge but defending his Olympic title in Paris will be difficult in the extreme...wouldn't be surprised if Kiptum has broken the world record by then....The real highlight of Berlin was the Women race which was astonishing.
If Kiochoge had switched his focus to the marathon earlier in his career, I think he had a real chance of breaking 2 hours in competition. He was primarily a track athlete until the age of 27 or 28.
People need to consider wind and heat vs WR as well. I managed the same time as my first with significant training in Australia but the heat was a huge factor. Everyone’s result was impacted and on this level even a degree or two would make a difference
I don't know how he would have performed against his legendary country man kip, I still give him his props. The game of running is consistency, determination, dedication, strategies, love and my kenyan brother uganda.loves you.
"This man needs no introduction: he's the current world record holder, he's a four-time Berlin Marathon Champion, he broke two hours in the historic ineos 159 challenge back in 2019, he's a two-time Olympic champion over the Marathon distance and he is largely considered the single greatest marathoner to ever compete in the Running World." 😶🌫
Kipchoge and Kiptum are like the messi-mbappe situation rn. Kipchoge is faster, but we all know that Kiptum will surely be greater than Kipchoge, and might even one day run sub 2 hours. Hes got me real excited!
And now from excited to sad af right? It's honestly too sad and I doubt I will ever get over it. He would be the man to go sub 2 in an actual marathon. We will have to wait another decade for someone of his caliber to make us even believe the 2 hour barrier is not really a barrier.
@@alansamuel2454 Yep... Kiptum broke the world record and was 35 seconds of from the 2 hour mark, and passed away before he even reached his prime. What a legend.
@@bapee8235 Exactly, usually those with a short career are what-ifs. He's a total outlier-should be considered the 2nd greatest ever in the marathon. He showed that 2 hours is not just something Kipchoge can dare to dream and broke that mental barrier for everyone else with so little experience, that's his real legacy that will last.
I saw Kipchoge limp during the awards ceremony. He might have a lingering injury in that leg that cost him a title in Boston. I will enjoy and celebrate watching this man race until he retires
Whatever fitness Kipchoge has lost to Father Time has only brought him somewhat back to the rest of the field. He still leads that field by an absurd distance. We should all consider ourselves lucky to watch this man run. Appreciate greatness y’all!
Well said👍🏻
He could be running 2:02-2:04 into his 40s.
Did he have a child recently?
@@greenhat7618 🤣🤣Father Time means old age (by sport standards in this case)
Lost fitness?!?! This race was three seconds per mile off of the world record.
Not gonna lie, I was really hoping for a sub-2:01. But at some point we all have to be in awe that Kipchoge is still running these amazing times at the age of 38! Amazing
I would be more in awe if he won Boston tbh. I want to see him winning different marathons. I don't care for the WR.
@@kylestephens9593Rio & Tokyo Olympics weren't enough?

To be fair, he did have just over two hours to work on it!
Making RUclips videos is literally his job.
First 3 minutes is pre recorded so he can get it to 8 minutes. He does the bare minimum just to be first on the feeds.
The women’s race was truly incredible. Can’t wait to see your video on that one.

How can you ignore the magic Tigist Assefa showed in the very same Marathon today? It is worth mentioning
Did the pace makers let him down by not moving faster enough for him to chase them? Why couldn't he ran beyond the pace makers,if he wanted to?
People need to consider wind and heat vs WR as well. I managed the same time as my first with significant training in Australia but the heat was a huge factor. Everyone’s result was impacted and on this level even a degree or two would make a difference

And now from excited to sad af right? It's honestly too sad and I doubt I will ever get over it. He would be the man to go sub 2 in an actual marathon. We will have to wait another decade for someone of his caliber to make us even believe the 2 hour barrier is not really a barrier.
@@alansamuel2454 Yep... Kiptum broke the world record and was 35 seconds of from the 2 hour mark, and passed away before he even reached his prime. What a legend.
@@bapee8235 Exactly, usually those with a short career are what-ifs. He's a total outlier-should be considered the 2nd greatest ever in the marathon.
He showed that 2 hours is not just something Kipchoge can dare to dream and broke that mental barrier for everyone else with so little experience, that's his real legacy that will last.
My younger brother,50 yrs participated in tih marathon .
Guys you can not tell me that Kenenisa Bekele didn't just change his name. Kindie is literally Kenenisa Bekele,
That was amazing
"This man needs no introduction - introduces him" :D
TRP's fetish with Kipchoge a bit huge here, surely the main focus should be Tigist Assefa's phenomenal effort
When the woman beat Jason Ward a top men's marathoner, the USA's men's marathon is in jeopardy.
I saw Kipchoge limp during the awards ceremony. He might have a lingering injury in that leg that cost him a title in Boston. I will enjoy and celebrate watching this man race until he retires
