Now that's how you make an interval workout more interesting!!😁

This has been a well-known challenge here in Oslo, but not between these two stations! You start on the line from Sognsvann to Oslo, and run from Frøen (the last stop before Majorstuen) down to the big Majorstuen station: This is slightly downhill all the way with almost zero detours out from and into the stations. You have to be quick though because Frøen is going to be closed in a few years, replaced with the new Diakonhjemmet station a bit further up the line. It is also about 700m total distance.

Holy crap… I haven’t seen a KZfaq video that ended in a failure in like a year now, crazy to see someone upload that. Was still incredibly entertaining to watch, amazing job with this!

This particular challenge is definitely harder in Oslo than here in London. Mansion House and Cannon Street on the district and circle lines are extremely close, so you get more advantage from the acceleration and deceleration of the train (as well as shorter attempts, making it easier to reattempt if necessary). If you ever find yourself in London, and you really want to beat a train by running, that's probably your best option.

Getting out of the first station was definitely hard, for this challenge it should help finding two stations that have short exit/entrance. Very good tries though!

His run was a lot more crowded and challenging than yours and yet he managed to score a great time! Congrats!!

such a fun challenge, i was on the edge of my seat! 😅

The train gets the medal this time.

2:11 Pace. Wow, just wow.

I know the video was about running but all I could think about was how nice and clean that train station was 😆

This reminds me of the passage in Haruki Murakami's 'What I talk about when I talk about running'. He wants to run the original marathon route in Greece to write about it for a magazine (if I remember correctly) and they are very surprised that he actually means to do the whole thing. Apparently most of those challenges were faked back then too. Integrity is important, for the media, athletes and everyone else.

Seems like there is problem world wide with television companies telling the truth. Great effort and thank you for being truthful. This was very fun to watch.

I used miss my bus almost every morning and had to run to the next stop to catch the bus. This brings back memories.

Wow, that sucks that your national TV just went and faked that :( Kudos to you both for trying it though, congratulations to you both for these times!

The next challenge is to come to London and race the Tube from Mansion House to Cannon Street

What a great content! Im glad you guys are honest, even though you were unable to catch the train, you will have more loyal followers!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I like how this video was edited; * short intro * informative build-up * close fail * enough time left on the video for anything to happen * very short outro This had me captivated without feeling like I needed to skip forward, and now I want to see if you make the run later on.

From time to time I need to do this at the bus stop. In my village the stations are only a few hundred meters apart and when I miss it by a few seconds I can catch it because it can‘t drive very fast. It‘s always a fun thing to do but I could spare the sweat in the bus before university 😅 Maybe I‘ll try this in purpose one day.

Wow!! This was just incredible to watch. Bravo to you both!!! 👏🏻🇨🇦

Great video as always

Great effort, guys! Regardless of the end results, this was one of the most "edge of my seat" videos I've watched on KZfaq. Fun idea, with great editing and pacing... I was entertained.

This was really fun to watch!

Wow!! That was a crazy competition 😲You guys had to run through the streets, traffic and people, multiple turns! You were both faster than the train👍

Great POV videos!

The 800m world record is 1:40.91. Comsidering this, I would have been really impressed if you manage this! The thing that was bad is that NRK didn't clarify it when first asked that this was for enterteinment purposes only and not actually accomplished. While it might have been a entertainment format, it can leave a bitter taste in regards to news. What is, in current times, very important. If people start saying: "national tv faked this, why should we trust their news on politics etc.?" their whole journalistic integrity is at play. I'm not Norwegian and therefor don't know alot. But I understand some Norwegian (easier written) and from those times i went on their website i had a good impression of them. A similar discussion as you hinted on is currently going on here in Switzerland. I think that the entertainment side and sports should have it's place on national tv. If this field is left out, you also don't get cultural things that make a nation/culture to people that might just earn enough to live and pay rent (also Norway has those). So you would push them out of anything besides news about war and politics.

I train intervals like this pretty often. I get on a tram and then push myself between stops that aren't too long or too short. It's the most fun type of training for me.

That was both kind of silly and interesting at the same time. Uncalled for, but yet exciting. Cool video, Göran ! 👍

Fun video! Thanks for posting.

Congratulations guys 👏 very interesting 😊

Well done you guys...great stuff...and well done Goran for "calling out" your National TV network...

Great attempt!

Great attempt guys !! Well done … crazy pace !!

I really love the urban running like in this video and in the race you had in Moss! Super intense

Great job both of you 😁 it was fun

That was a lot of fun to watch

Great video!

Testa i Stockholm!

Great video keep going

Amazing video! Also that white SOAR vest is super nice!

Good effort both of you👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Congrats to Alfred on his success at the JWOC middle!

That looked so much fun

A run with a purpose😊. Well done

Loved this challenge. ❤

Incredible! Had me sweeting just sitting here watching you two!

Fantastic content. Alfred is SO fast!!

Maybe I'll try that with my local bus ;-) Great video, really enjoyed it. Well done both!

Great fun!

This was a lot of fun!

So cool!

Dang! I was hoping you'd make it!

fun challenge -- good effort!

Good video

Awesome video I was sitting on the edge of my seat shouting come on 😂

Very nice video! Göran, you should have had a sprint map with you to avoid that "pummi"!

There is a similar challenge in Dresden as well: Tram 12 does a slight curve and you can run it directly. It should be possible for runners at around 3:30min/km (depending on tourists in town) :) I found this detour while running all tram lines here from endstop to endstop

Impressive attempt from you both, fantastic pace. I was stuck to the screen to see if either of you would make it.

Would make a fun strava segment ^^

That was fun

really nice video

I would recommend to try in Budapest, on line 4 between Új-buda központ and Moricz Zsigmond kör tér. The stations are so close the train is leaving one, when it is already entering the next.

Running up that escalator looked scary. Imagine falling with that high speed 😮😮

Nice attempts! Would be interesting to see if you could find a long distance version of this as well. I've been trying to find such a version in Stockholm. Apparently Alvik - Hagsätra takes 34 minutes station to station and is roughly 10 km on a path suggested by google maps. I'm not fast enough to be a serious contender, but would love to see an attempt.

That is fast running👏👏

Awesome ! :)

Grymt!

I tried that in Frankfurt back in 2013, from Konstablerwache to Hauptwache - but was shy ~12 seconds, too many normal people in the pedestrian zone. 😂 suggest to mount the videos to a splitscreen, so you can see train moving and runner racing hard at the same time - no fake for sure! 😊

Awesome🎉

If you fail at one stop -- go for two stops. And use the time the train has to stop in between for your adavantage

This looked a long way out of the station, i don't know the oslo metro but maybe if there are 2 sessions with easier exits. The others I have heard about are Cluny la Sorbonne to Odéon on the Paris metro and Mansion House to Cannon Street on the London Underground.

Come to Denver, Colorado! You’ll beat the RTD train no problem! 😂

fun challenge :-)

Magnus midtbo probably does this for his morning commute to the local climbing gym lol😂

We had a cheese burger run at uni. The buss stops at both sides of a mall with a mcdonalds in the middle. So one person just bolts to the mcdonalds while the rest try to delay the bus to get some extra time. It's rare to succeed. There has been a few known successes though.

Storror did this in particularly spectacular way

Amazing!! Tag team it?!

great video! Even though 60M is more my distance, I enjoy you content alot! Why not go the other way? From Nationalteateret to Stortingent - like in the NRK video? Then you get to go down the escalators, which should be alot quicker..

Sooo close, maybe running it the other way is easier? Nationaltheateret to Stortinget? That way it is not so much uphill, I would love to see you try it again as an Oslo local

You could likely make it by having a couple of late runners catching the underground at both stops. First person catches and hold for the second for five seconds or so. Now this can happen organically, but one would've thought it would have been a better method for NRK.

Class 🤣

Beautiful city though

2 min pace is so fast through town! people would have been so shocked haha its awesome tho

@goranwinblad you both did great 💪congratulations 👏👏👏

There was a guy or a few guys here in Denmark that did it with the metro stations here :) That might be a good try!

Awesome video! Maybe try some 400 m relays? If that doesn’t work try 200m relays 😂 passing a baton or something

Great attempt guys! I'm sure without the stairs and the pedestrians, you would've aced it!

Would be awesome to see an attempt from Oslo metro station: Økern --> Hasle. 1.3 km

Wacked! That was fun.

nice clip, by the way if you try it in Paris or Istanbul there is no chance because of the crowded metrou stations!

Try it in Stockholm. Swedish taskmaster did it aswell, don't know if they were called out for faking it aswell :o

By the title I thought you were doing "Marshall vs. the Machines" :D

3:20 Hey Vsause! Michael here

wow, 20 seconds in and action already? no story about how you learned to walk, how humans evolved legs, how earth came to be? instant like.

Guys, this was so enjoyable. (BTW my #496 challenge starts tomorrow!)

What a departure from the normal. Loved it!!!!

That’s some nice public transport. I used walk faster than my bus. No joke.

Manfred Erlandson testade detta med tunnelbanorna i Stockholm. De här videorna är bra! 👍

You realize now that runner from all over the world are going to take up a similar challenge in their own cities as well as come to Oslo to see if they can complete the challenge. The tourism board in Oslo should pay you for this!🇳🇴🇳🇴

TIL I should visit Oslo.

well if the challenge was to get to the surface on the other station, you'd both have won. the extra time inside the stations is what kills it
