@@azovandy14.88When you are running in first place so we'll, you fell confident... On the other hand if you are second, third, fourth, etc., you are seeing that pack constantly. If you are in a pack the race might fell an eternity... you hoping to see who gets tired and lagging.
I think the weather had a lot to do with it, probably a lot more difficult to run in a pack with snow, plus lalli had a lot more freedom to move around (Avoid trouble spots, etc)
I won a 15K by several seconds from the 2nd place when I was in my 20's because I counted wrong and thought I was in 2nd place for the second half of it. I was so concentrated in just staying upright and running to try and catch the person in the first place that I didn't even pay attention to anything else. When I crossed the finish line I was quite sad for a few seconds until I realized 😂
@@JohnTheRevelat0r sounds like a good problem to have. lol I did something similar in a motocross race. I just remember thinking, “how fast is this guy going???” I didn’t crash but I ran off the track in the first lap and I wasn’t sure how many people passed me. I just knew the guys that were normally at the front and I passed four out of five of them. Haha the fifth guy I was looking for was in 8th.
When I was in high school, there was a runner in the 3200m that lapped the 2nd place runner. I was in awe of that performance. That was 25 years ago. Great job to those athletes.
yeah but if that was normal then everyone else could do it too lol. also you're wrong, the lead starts at 10 seconds and grows to 14 seconds and then 20+ seconds.
@@Annihilator_5024 Well, the reason for the variance is simply because he doesn't have a pacemaker, there's literally no one around to tell him how fast he's going.

I ran cross country. I was a rabbit. A couple times, my coach told me "go out hard and they wont be able to find you". I did and they never got close. Sometimes, you just have a pace that can't be dealt with. This race is that. He just hit a comfortable high pace and they couldn't get to him.
I agree this is a excellent race by the Italian runner. Very gutsy running from the front. I just got back from my local gym where I just completed 45 minutes on the treadmill at 9 pm at night. Not bad at 60 years old after working a full day! But not as good as the Italian runner!
I run 1hr in the morning. And 2hrs in the evening every single day working 40 hrs a week. While religiously fasting. Eating like a bird. My age when it comes to running is irrelevant
Reminds me of the Chinese speed skater who did a sprinting lap then just coasted at the back of the pack for the rest of the race. When they crossed the finish line all the other skaters stopped thinking the race was over except the other Chinese skater who finished out the lap earning 2nd.
I give it a shot. It's the snow and cold. I run in snow and cold. It's a different beast. I am not a pro and don't have extensive experience. It takes strength and knowing how to run without any energy pushing back. Maybe those Muscular legs generated more heat and could pump blood better. Great video!
i heard legs working is good for circulation and maybe he trained to run minutes not kilometers found a the best pace and train to keep it the time it would need to win maybe???
If this clip is from the 1990s and the runner being Italian, then EPO does not seem unlikely indeed. Also the comment about the runner looking stronger/more muscular, but beating thinner more ndurance-build types, points to EPO.
Could just be genetics, our bodies are all incredibly different and the more styles of training you do the more strengths and weaknesses you'll see that you just naturally have. Like I'm nothing special for the most part except for my arm muscles, they have like an inhuman amount of endurance. I can do a maximum intensity arm routine for easily an hour straight. Or arm wrestle a room full of people for several hours without getting tired. And the next day my arms won't even be particularly sore. My arms just genetically are efficient or something, the rest of my body sucks though. 😂
As a beginner runner, I'm not sure if the wind resistance effect from the lack of drafting is as significant and strong in running as it is in cycling. It's really an impressive performance
When I was younger my Middle School and High School Coaches were begging me to be on the track team- I broke our school record in middle school just doing the standard once a year mile run. Probably because I played a ton of Hockey all the time when not in School. I can turn the pain off, but I hate running so I said no. I can't do that now though, I'm 40. Maybe I should have but ya- if you can turn the pain off you can do amazing things. That's a pretty amazing run! Nice commentary :D
As a person who is stocky built I personally never noticed larger leg muscles hindering my running. I was in the military and we did endurance runs for hours and I was golden the entire time. Granted I ran at about 7-8 minutes per mile, but I still ran for 4+ hours without stopping. We had water stations around the track and basically you just ran until you couldn't run anymore. I was able to go longer than most of the cross country runners with their skinny legs. My stocky legs helped a lot with keeping my upright on uneven ground.
Clearly a great cold runner. I'm into strength training, not running, but when I ran back in the day, I could go twice as fast, twice as long in cold weather. My downfall was always overheating, and cold weather running was like an efficient cooling system on an engine for me.
I ran the fastest mile of my life in high school by doing the same exact thing. I took off faster than everyone and maintained a large distance between me and 2nd place.
They forgot a out him, mych like the Chinese speed skaters,video of this is on youtube, chinese skater took off at full speed,lapped the group and then tucked in at the back
To me, this is kind of an indication of championship running mentality being too prevalent. The chase pack was almost certianly running well below their capabilities, because thats what youre *supposed* to do in a championship race to avoid losing.
Wait, wut? I thought there was a trick like he slid down a slope on his butt at the beginning of the race or something. He's just a human Terminator? Gawd Dayum.
In horse racing that would be called a "wire to wire win". The chart of the race might read "Lalli opened up a long lead, lengthened his lead and won with complete authority".
He only had to run faster than the others until he was 100 meters in front. After that, just maintain the pace. Doesn't mater if you can keep up from behind the others, or in front of the others. That's why he was looking back every now and then, to keep it at 100 meters. He knew what he could do.
Joined a 10k marathon in my city with a good first place cash price, the one who won was a guy who ran the whole 10k barefoot on asphalt. The man was a monster who decided he want that cash. 😅
That is Atelaw Yeshetela Bekele of Belgium, not Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia. He got 58th in this 2012 race, but actually won the previous year. Atelaw was born in Ethiopia and moved to Belgium when he was 16. He is not related to Kenenisa.
"He was glancing behind himself repeatedly, almost in a panic" Ah, I've seen this horror movie before. Clearly, he was running from an entity that nobody else could see.
Swear I just saw a distance ice skating video that was pretty much the same thing, skater sprinted out to a full lap lead and then sat in the back and won by like a full lap
The best pace is exactly the same speed the whole race such that you gradually increase effort until it’s at 100% for the final 20-60 seconds (or the time it takes creatine phosphate stores to deplete from 100% effort, which varies).
Does drafting really matter in running? My intuition is that the amount of power spent moving air is fairly negligible compared to all the losses due to going up and down and energy loss of the shoe-ground contact.
The benefits are fairly negligible in almost every circumstance. But when youre all professional athletes who are trying to eek out wins by the tiniest of margins, even a faction of a precent can be meaningful.
Idk I feel like running in a group is harder. Because you gotta try not to fall over their feet. And keep there pace. Sometimes I breath better with room
@@slipinsliderI can imagine this yea, okay personally being crowded always makes me uncomfortable, nervous and yes in a to crowded especially a room I sense more difficulty for breathing I really think I’ve i was in such colon that being surrounded like that really makes it difficult for me to concentrate on my breathing!
In certain circumstances it makes all the difference. Drafting helps with pacing and energy conservation. I remember one race in which it was very frigid cold and windy that I ran behind a guy who had the same stride as me. It made the run much easier compared to how it was at the beginning where it felt like I was running against a wall
I think the way the Africans are running start to tape leading and pulling away in longer distances instead of running with the pack is changing how distance running strategies work. Now, you simply have to be fast for the entire distance and not just finding a point in the race to “make your move.” Kipchoge made the concept work. Also, on a lesser scale Ingebrigtsen From Norway likes to squeeze the kick out of competitors by running hard the whole race. In the 70s Steve Prefontaine tried to perfect the strategy. Many times he failed, but he was figuring the training needed to run Gun to Tape at one incredible pace.
2:56 "Spanish runners" HAHAHAHA the Spanish are incapable of going anywhere in a hurry. How the hell were multiple Spanish convinced to run, and in the least Spanish weather, you can imagine?
Making a big deal out of lapping other runners and acting like it's unheard of when the rest of the group eventually lapped those same runners is kind of weird.
I never liked running and certainly didn't compete but when I played other sports it was always easier to run in the cold. Only sub-4 minute mile I ever did was at night in near zero weather.
I never tried distance this way but back when i was a heavy boy in a residential placement i would go to gym class and jog for 45 minutes. At first i could barely keep it going. But as time went on i became an unstoppable force. I would maintain the same pace the entire time and i would just continue lapping anyone else also running. After a while your legs get used to the motions and at that point you can put things on autopilot.
Here is my analysis, cold conditions favour stockier build, keeping body warm take less energy. He has been training a lot in these conditions. Forgor my third point lule
He ran a 30 minute distance in 29m50s. So 1/180th improvement . About 0.5% faster than the next guy. Imagine running on a treadmill at a setting of 6… now imagine turning it up to a 6.03,
You say that this deserves much more recognition and respect!! But yet you never actually call the athlete by his full name you mention the names of the other runners but you never mention Andrea Lalli's full name
Is drafting really noticable? In a small mazda at 80kph definitly, but at running speed? I would imagine the savings on the muscles to be neglicible and totally dependent on the wind forces at each individual position due to the low speed
Im pretty sure its because just showing the images, even for a short time, doesn't qualify as 'fair use' of the footage, he has to be commentating the whole time otherwise the video could get copyrighted (see the description).
Laughing stock of Europe? no one has heard of him/this race, the dude literally said the video had like 1000 views a the time... there's 750 million people in Europe. And... literally no one uses that hashtag.
What’s the big deal? Over a long distance. One runner wins by 10 seconds. It took you 10 minutes to explain that and make it into something that it wasn’t.
I used to do cross country to get in shape for wrestling. I did this once sprinted to the beginning of the pack and stayed there for like 20 seconds. I ended up so far behind I took a short cut to finish and no one cared haha
Its clear that he angered his wife or girlfriend with an unwise comment right before the race. If isn't other runners the he is nervously looking back for.
Dude was just cold and wanted to get it over with.
This is exactly what I was coming to comment. That dude looks like me trying to stay warm at work during the winters of Montana. Just stay moving you stay warm
My XC coach always told me that the guy who finished first had an advantage because he didn't have to run as long as the rest did.

True, but he's still expending more energy than they are, because he never gets to draft off of anybody. So he's working harder to maintain the lead.

It is. They're running 13-14MPH. it's significant enough.
@@CarlValiquette clearly didn't affect Lalli, so its not as big of a factor as it seems if you can grind through it.

So much aura
That was a beautiful run
He ran a 30 minute distance in 29m50s. So 1/180th improvement .
About 0.5% faster than the next guy.
Imagine running on a treadmill at a setting of 6… now imagine turning it up to a 6.03,
What’s the “fever again” part?
You say that this deserves much more recognition and respect!! But yet you never actually call the athlete by his full name you mention the names of the other runners but you never mention Andrea Lalli's full name
Is drafting really noticable? In a small mazda at 80kph definitly, but at running speed? I would imagine the savings on the muscles to be neglicible and totally dependent on the wind forces at each individual position due to the low speed
I recommend watching this in 1.5x
How do you make this video and not mention the runners FIRST NAME!
Good coverage, exciting race, but desr oh dear, when you're stuck for words can't you just be silent for a bit and let the images speak??
Im pretty sure its because just showing the images, even for a short time, doesn't qualify as 'fair use' of the footage, he has to be commentating the whole time otherwise the video could get copyrighted (see the description).
IDK I kind of like it....
Bro trying so hard to hit the 10 minute mark for ads. What an awful video
Turns out the turtle and the hare story isn’t real.
Was he 100 meters ahead? I'm dying to know.
At first he was the laughing stock of Europe’s but afterwards people were getting #lallilalli trending on the socials
Laughing stock of Europe? no one has heard of him/this race, the dude literally said the video had like 1000 views a the time... there's 750 million people in Europe.
And... literally no one uses that hashtag.
Are you reading some script made by non native English speakers?
The story is interesting but the choice of words is clunky and off-putting
I think that is just his personal style
@@davidtydeman1434 I agree. I think he is funny and entertaining.
I'm convinced this is AI generated
he's commentating it like it's live, pretty annoying I agree
there is no script which is why it's clunky
im nearly perfect in english (SAT section wise) and i didnt find it clunky
What’s the big deal? Over a long distance. One runner wins by 10 seconds. It took you 10 minutes to explain that and make it into something that it wasn’t.
That is amazing.
I used to do cross country to get in shape for wrestling. I did this once sprinted to the beginning of the pack and stayed there for like 20 seconds. I ended up so far behind I took a short cut to finish and no one cared haha
Thumbs down for the Clickbait title NEVER AGAIN which implies that the guy failed. You just wasted my time.
Bekele not even mentioned. Lol
Atelaw Yeshetela Bekele of Belgium
not olympic 10k record holder Kenenisa Bekele
wrong bekele
@@EvNT-k1t Thanks! Glad to learn this.
The question is, did all the other runners also run faster than they normally do trying to stay in the race with him
Its clear that he angered his wife or girlfriend with an unwise comment right before the race. If isn't other runners the he is nervously looking back for.
Bless the algorithm
Don't ever laugh at someone if u r the audience.
Chase pack looks like they are struggling on lap 5
Lalli's middle name is Secretariat.
Así correre este domingo en Concepción Chile 21 km 20 octubre 2024
dalle campeon! :D saludos de Portugal
Lalli is a beast.
Normal people laughing at pros has got to be the dumbest genre of people
