Nice video guys, looks like good fun!! But just one thing, 100 x 400m laps = 40,000m, a marathon is 42,195m in total so Kipchoge ran even further than this! (Unless I'm missing something to do with the lanes, and they gained over 2k by running in lane 3 for 100 laps)

yall ran significantly more by staying in 4 the whole time 😂

Cool minnie riperton

No, they couldn't even come close

Must admit, I am aiming for a sub 12 hour ironman atm on a budget and there are definitely some cuts that you could make. I have bought basically everything second hand and paid 350 for a Cervelo trail bike, and about 200 on making sure it worked properly. I just use a Garmin instinct(2nd hand) of 60 euros. 40 bucks for swimming goggles is also way to much, I got new ones for 10(€). I paid €5 for cycling shoes. For me the biggest savings compared to this are in swimming (60 for wetsuit), and biking. I do spend pretty much the same on running, gels, race entry and accomodation

To think that even with Kipchoge running at full pace, he would be a full 2 mins behind these lads. Legends.

you need to use the masterful technique of all going at the same time

but can you beat the 100m world record with 10 people? 🤔

In a sense, it's better than Kipchoge's run because: - It's a better time - It involved females - You had to carry a baton

So you cheated

Being at the pointy end is tough but even tougher when when you have one of those days. Never forget though - a finish is an always a win at IM. Congrats.

So the answer is: 10 average runners cannot break the marathon record lol.

guys, it's quite different to run marathon on road versus 400m laps; for me, it normally takes ~15 more seconds on road for 1km.

I could’ve given you at least 25 laps at 70 😂

do i hear an apocalyptica version of nothing else matters there?

this would be a legendary olympic event with two teams of 10 starting at the opposite 200. Run the event tournament style across 2 weeks

Unfortunately however, a marathon on a track is 105.5 laps… so not quite. But you’ll get em next time, right?

RIP Kelvin Kiptum. It's unbelievable a human being could have run that pace for 2-hours.

awesome racing. Congratulations. Great party time at the finish. Brings back memories of my finish. You Rock.

We have different definitions of “average” runners

I like this as an idea for a new record "fastest marathon time set by multiple racers"

I have a 59 second 400. While fresh. And then I'm exhausetd. Im in 7th grade though to be fair to me, but theres no way I could do it 10 times.

Yeah totally "average" runners

4:33 mile is not even close to an average mile time.

Man, half way through the video and not a single gram of animal protein. Why is that?

Would love to see this done by a team of 400m specialists. Could they break 1:30? 1:20?

1:12 is too slow, they need to do less than 1:08 to beat the WR. The sprinters put them back on track.

R.i.p kiprum

These guys aren't even your "average men". They'll all quite above in fitness! 10 relatively fit men are STRUGGLING!

Why lane 4?

Mate we've been off TH-cam for awhile and were so bloody stoked to watch this as our first video back. Not only because of you so proudly rocking the Floral. But two other great points - The Better Help sponsor, what a great movement/brand, without your good self, wouldn't have known such a quality service existed. Secondly, your race approach. Really resonated with what most athletes should be aiming for, including myself. Really refreshing to see the foot taken off the throttle to a degree, and see the results that come with it. Great stuff as always mate. Lets get you on that Podcast that we've been threatening for 2 years now haha

a bit of a shame you weren’t able to run on the inside lane. can’t get a good sense for what those splits mean

“Freestyle Marathon Relay” sounds like a really cool race. Fixed sized teams of course but it’s up to each team when they pass the baton and to who.

Craziest part to me is that you did this in under 6 hours.

Isn't a marathon 42.195km? You ran 100 x 400m = 40 km

„Beer Marathon“ featuring Vodka, Sake, more Vodka…

Amazing video!😁

Morning run

up next: milk marathon

Absolute mad lad, this is just insane. One day I'll have to try this (currently too obsessed with regular cycling haha).

Congratulations on a great race! Great to see you having such a fun day as well…. The mental side of things is always ….a thing 😂

this is so interesting, I'm a 22 year old female from England - moving to Sydney in September, I've always been athletic and on the normal to underweight range in BMI but recently also discovered that I'm pre-diabetic, so bizarre cool to see this content though keep it up!

Late commenting, but this so impressive! It's great that all of your hard work payed off. Sub 9 is definitely within-reach for you.

Most genuine wholesome video I've seen in forever.

Love the nerd belt !

You’ll enjoy it more with a coach :)

Imagine yourself Top 10 marathon runners in the world, doing this relay to complete a marathon.

Good to see you back!

Well done

My high school 400 time was 50 flat (0:50.04). I was 5’5”. Makes me think most of these guys are not having ideal running form for 400 because they look to be in shape and are taller. But then my 800 was only 1:52 so even at two laps the pace drops so much. Not easy at all! Imagine running all 100 laps…
