@@haydenwittig8877 Sure sure, kid

That is so awesome! Whoever’s choice that was is so genius, I bet that fueled the runners!

I was thinking the same thing! 😂

Imagine breaking the world record for the half......and finishing FOURTH.

@@runcaz7802 This is so crazy. If I was in the organizing committee, I would reward those athlete too.

In 50 years the Chinese will genetically engineer runners to naturally produce high dosages of erythropoietin so expect to see Chinese runners running 55 minute half marathons

@@aleksytherunner9267 lmao i thought my 16:05 is bad you run a 19

Rip Legend

Yes but the most impressive is Kiplimo 57'37"(5seconds slower than the Wr)at only 20 years old

Rhonex kipruto is 20 yrs too.. that debut time at 20 is something else

Just imagine what this new generation will be capable of?!

@@alexngetich9480 Kipruto is 21, he is 1 year older than Kiplimo, and it was also only the second half marathon of Kiplimo's career, so both performances were amazing

i can't even run a 400m at that pace

Absolutely insane. 4:23 pace feels like a sprint. For 13.1 miles

@@paddywiggle these guys are crazy

@@ilect1690 yeah, a 66 second 400m is pretty damn good for any average person who doesn't train it, so to think that this guy kept that pace for the equivalent of 52 laps is nuts

1200M at that pace is damn good, you a 4:30 miler or so?

Breaking the PREVIOUS world record🤦🏽‍♂️

@@darkorayo6139 I'm pretty sure that's what he was getting at

Did he get any money or is it just 1st,2nd, and 3rd

Just goes to show how this race had a easier track than other 21k races.

DRUGS.

Seems you were right! If you look at the leaderboard at the end, you can see 6th place, kelvin kiptum who split off the main 4 a bit over 2/3 distance, he now holds the marathon record by a solid margin, first sub 2:01 if I recall correctly.

Unfortunately he did, one of the biggest what if in sports, he was only 22. Rest in Peace Kelvin😢

I saw it live, and i had to triple check i was seeing 57 and not 58. 3 people broke 58, 3 people!

This what should happen all the time actually! African runners have been over racing to make money, if they could run 2 big races in year like americans tend to do, you would see amazing stuff! I know runners who ran 12-15 races a year! Do you really think they can perform a their best? Yes there is doping in some runners like in any other sport, but still don't think that all that you are seeing is impossible!

Here’s why: everybody was peaking for 2020 because of the olympics. But now, instead of going to the olympics and doing championship style racing in order to win a medal, they get to race for time with way less pressure, but still in peak fitness.

Not surprising because the lack of a proper season essentially turns these “races” into time trials, which tend to lead to better times than outright racing.

They were peaking for 2020 Olympics and fresh from not racing all year. It may be a few years before we see this again. If they put a lot of $ incentive on breaking a WR that would help

lots of time to perfect their doping cycles

Come on now! A good 10k guy will always run well for half marathon! It's a no brainer...Rhonex to me is better runner than Kamworor and he is the 10k world record holder (26:24)...27:25 pace is not that hard for him! It makes perfectly sense for him to run under 58.

@@patpatson9201 I respect your opinion and you do make good points. Rhonex is also one of the best athletes. The thing is that a 10k on the roads and a half marathon are completely different events that require completely different training to run. I have run both and the 10k is a mixture of good endurance matched with great speed. A half marathon around a 20k with an extra mile so it requires much much more strength achieve a great time. You also need a much better mental aspect. From my experience in the half, around the 18k most people who have never ran the distance would want to quit because they have never handled the sheer length of the distance. To run this fast for your first half marathon is incredibly rare and this performance makes him one of the favorites to win the 10000m gold in the 2021 olympics

@@penguinmilkshake6257 Don't forget Rhonex ran 26:24 on the roads and he is a good cross country runner too! Mental toughness ain't an issue, the mileage these guys are doing week in week out without breaking up for peaking too many times a year makes it doable! Marathon that is something else for him, but a good 10k guy can easily prepare a specific half marathon within 8weeks no problem (considering you are already in shape, not coming back from injury or long break). Kandie surprised many but not Kiplimo neither Kipruto 😉

@@patpatson9201 You have some great points. I’m still surprised at his performance but it makes somewhat sense because of his training and mental toughness. Same thing with Kiplimo. I do still think it made sense why Kandie won because of how many half marathons he won. I will say that most good 10k runners can’t transition to the half well, these guys are just a different breed

@@patpatson9201 I would say 8 weeks is a stretch but Kipruto and Kiplimo has plenty of time to have a great performance

Well the previous WR was 58:01 so if you expected a certain number of athletes to break the WR, they would almost certainly break 58 (bar the small chance of someone running 58 flat)

shoes have lowered everyone's time - still good but compare to old times allow for times before the shoes

If you care that much about suspense, watch it live. The world doesn’t revolve around you.

How old is he?

Kipruto 20yrs, Kiplimo 19yrs and Kandie 24yrs all very young runners.

@@niceyx7935 WOW very young!

I'd be thrilled to make it 800m at that pace. These fuckers are crazy XD

Run 100 m in 16.35 sec continuously for 21 km. 210 times. This is basically a flat out sprint of an average person.
