Once a smart runner, always a smart runner. Bekele showed again when you keep your ego in check you can come home fast, amazing performance age 41. Lemma too good on the day and as predicted a 2hr 2min or there abouts winning time. It is going to be super exciting to see if anyone will go out super fast in Paris next year to try and grab glory instead of the usual tactical race.
I absolutely love Kenenisa Bekele, I knew he was going to come back into form, he just needed time to recover and build his base, he is legendary and such an inspiration!
I love when there is no tactic and just pure speed. Men went crazy for the first half. It seemed that everyone will crash on the second half but lema did not slow down. Bekele was smart to not follow the pace because it was suicide
The race organizer set up after the race a 1M euros bonus for any world record broken in Valencia marathon from 2024 onwards. Expect great things from my city 😊
Super shoes coincidentally align with the blazing fast times of past 5-6 years. Doesn't matter really for excitement and congratulating the young guys - but i do think it's 2-3 min advantage that many older greats like Kipchoge and bekele would have smashed under 2 with in prime.
@@npSharkiemaybe your right but not sure. The money and fame of marathon has increased a lot in the past 5-6 years. Now the best runner don't go on track but on marathon so that's why there are better times
Valencia is a beautiful city. It has everything: beautiful beaches, stunning architecture, mellow climate, influential performance arts, Agua de Valencia, the birthplace of paella, and a super fast marathon.
I live in this wonderful city and yesterday was the first marathon of my life - all I will say is, if all marathons were like this, I would be running them constantly! Although I probably managed to make my debut (and finish!) in the perfect conditions of Valencia.
Nostradamus the national record of Spain was broken. The greeting the Spaniard received was worth watching for. She lowered the record by around 4 minutes I love that none of the locals left until their runner crossed the line. To win is wonderful but to wait until the local runner crosses the line is better. I am sure that someone waited for 6 plus hours to see their loved one cross the line. Every Personal Best is celebrated by somebody ❤
Worth mentioning it wasn't only the Elites who were running faster. Let us know if any other marathon in the world gets more than 5000 people under 3h!! I was there for a third year in a row.. and the field is so competitive that is unreal!! 40 people under 2:10 132 people under 2:20 561 people under 2:30 5168 sub3
Given that Kevin Kitum in his first marathon in Valencia ran 2;01;53,it would have been a real treat to see him against Lemme in this race.Probably one of them would have broken the world record; favoring Kitum.Of course Kitum having ran the chicago marathon would not have been available,but I think Valancia organizers would have loved for him to come back.Kitum will represent Kenya in the Olympics next year so its unlikely that he would run Valencia 2024.But hopefully the two can meet in one of the major marathons.
Personally I wouldn't say Kenenisa was very happy with the result, he is built with hunger for winning, and for him definitely a M-40 WR wouldn't say more than a race win.
Just another example of how hard it is to run an incredible time consistently........enjoy these sub 2:02 marathons as I don't think you will see any of these guys becoming the Marathon King.......I think when it comes to running this kind of time it really comes down to whether its YOUR day or not.........and some magically random "thing" happens to allow one of them to push through to this kind of time........and therein lies the problem of breaking that 2 hr barrier......not saying it won't happen, but I think it would happen much easier if there was a combo or trio all pushing each other to the very finish.......the problem to me is that I don't think we will ever see that happen.......but, of course, anything is possible.......as I'm just theorizing here obviously.....
@@threatened2024 yeah, it cracks me up on how the hype is built that its just, you know, something that happens all the time LOL!....is it possible, sure, but its going to take all the stars aligning in the perfect situation AND, it might not even be Kiptum that does it...........
What happened at the 2:20 mark? It looks like one of the pacers deliberately tossed a bottle on the road. Was that actually something innocent, or was he sabotaging one of the other runners?
dont take these records...highly...all these elites...need blood dopping tested!!!!!all boxing champs have 2....or they are stripped!!!!it adds emence endurance!!!!
How do you complete your analysis without mentioning the first runnersup Alexander Mutiso but concentrating on bekele and cheptegei who were not even on the podium?be Fair
I love that almost all African runners always acknowledge God in some way when they finish their race. It happens less in cycling maybe runners are more humble and pious?
This is great and all, but for those interested in overall wellness and longevity, smashing a world major marathon is useless. In fact, repeated bouts of super high mileage has detrimental effects on the human body. I’ll challenge any of these guys to see who’s still running period at 90. A marathon isn’t the ultimate test of endurance. LIFE itself is.
Update - at 6:44, we wrote that the previous master's world record was 2:01:10, but we meant to write 2:05:10. Appreciate your understanding.
Who holds the masters non-carbon shoe world record? lol
Do you know if this time is likely to be fast enough for Bekele to make the Olympics?

I am so happy to see Bekele finishing so strong! Huge smile from me. He has been struggling a lot lately, but we knew he had it in him! ❤️😊
He cutting.. And his shape pointed for marathon race
Shame on anyone who ever thought Bekele was done and should retire. The legend lives on.
Absolutely incredible run by Bekele!
Bekele 🎉 still have it! Congratulations he’s still the best runner of all times
I absolutely love Kenenisa Bekele, I knew he was going to come back into form, he just needed time to recover and build his base, he is legendary and such an inspiration!
How does Cheptegei run under 2:09 and not even crack the top 30? Valencia had a deep field!
2:09 is consider very slow
For their standards 😂😂😂
Go run a 2:09 marathon!! With that pace 2'50" I can only run 300m 😵💫😵💫🤣🤣🤣
2:09 at this level is really just average.
I love when there is no tactic and just pure speed. Men went crazy for the first half.

He probably knows his body perfectly.

Bekele is still kicking and wow the marathon is starting to become more deep yes it’s only 4 but soon will see 10 people break 2:02:00
Yes, sadly

Breaking 2.02 is amazing, but breaking 2.05 at 41? That's truly special.
Let’s hope bekele break 2:04 I’m rooting for him .
This is 1 of the great marathon races of 2023.thank u for keeping us up to date .whit every marathon races for 2023.👍👍
Sisay Lemma was so happy when he was interviewed after his win. He's been running the marathon for many years now.
At 6:50 Abraham's time and previous WR should be 2:05:10
6:44 Wrong info on previous master WR
As a videographer and editor, i'm still amazed you (and your team probably?) Push out these videos faster than Kelvin Kiptum ran Chicago this year 😂
Absolutely Keninisa Bekele a triumph of the Ages,,,I'm salute❤👏👍👍

I love the sport of running I recently started and my current PR mile is 8:23 but I find it insane that people can run 4:XX for 26 miles straight
that's a solid 3k
@@bennymerte4707 I think that’s his marathon pb
8:23 for what
That's a pretty slow kilometer

I was shocked Bekele finished 4th. He was way behind from the leading
Machines. Love the epic times. Future is bright!
Omg, that was amazing
Bekele is a goat 🐐 in any situation ….
damnn I am so excited for the marathon in the olympics next year, it will be epic

Bekele still the greatest distance runner of all time!
Well done Bekele
Typo on master's WR at 6:49. Just letting you know
Right on time as usual. Prompt coverage of running news 🎉
The listed time in the video of Tadesse Abraham of 2:01:10 is illogical and wrong. It should be 2:05:10.
Kelvin did absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to see how he does next year.
This channel is sooo good!
Cant wait to watch this!
Wow
Goats gonna goat
Text on the previous masters record at 6:48 is incorrect.
BEKELE THE LEGEND 🙂
Watching from Elnido Palawan Philippines 🏝️🇵🇭.
love bekele
Nice video as always. You've a typo on the Masters World Record slide, Abraham's time was 2:05:10
Hoping to see bekele in the Paris Olympics
Worth mentioning it wasn't only the Elites who were running faster. Let us know if any other marathon in the world gets more than 5000 people under 3h!! I was there for a third year in a row.. and the field is so competitive that is unreal!!
40 people under 2:10
132 people under 2:20
561 people under 2:30
5168 sub3
If Kiptum raced here instead of Chicago, 2 hours would have been broken
Next he may do 3, Rotterdam, Olympics and then goes for that huge money in Valencia.
Lemma just missed out on his national record by 7s. Valencia was great again. It has by far the most dense field in the marathon world.
Maybe I should also start in Valencia to join the "2:02 club" .... oops, typo, I meant the "3:02" club ....
Lemma joints the 201 club not 202. But good stuff. Also Bekele is a beast
Valencia has a speedy course and it is packed with great runners. I ran it in 3:03 and there were more than 9000 runners faster than me.
🐢
Bekele is GOAT
Sisay Lemma looks surprisingly muscular for a long distance runner on that level.
This thing was so crazy!!
I hope you non believers saw what Bekele did at age 41...
How are runners getting so faster so quickly? Is it all the shoes?

What was the previous masters marathon record?
2:05:10 I believe
2:05:53 by bekele himself last year
I think it was shown on this video around 2:01:10. Not sure that is correct though.
What shoe did Lemma wear for this? Pro Evo 1 or a Adios Pro 4 Proto?

kibowatt kandie getting better. Just needs a couple more races
Nobody is gonna talk about the Kenya guy from 2:22 dropping the water bottle intentionally, this is evilness ,should be banned on the spot.
Another crazy statistic: Around 5000 marathoners finished sub 3
I really hope these athletes are running clean. I mean, how did Joshua run a 2:08:58 and place 37th?
The more they struggle in marathon, the more I confident they are clean
It really was a spectacular race I honestly thought they are gonna get a new WR but it's tough man!
