For the curious, he ran the 2022 Berlin marathon with a time of 02:01:09
We appreciate you
I wish him all the very best. He truly deserves to break the 2hr mark. Legendary runner and such a nice humble guy to boot. 👍
@@VK-cw1op yeah about 2:50/km
@@greenpenguin3154 fucking insane running at that speed for 120 minutes, when it’s incredibly difficult to even run at that speed for 1 minute
No one deserves anything
He wont break the 2hrs, as the pace required would require him to set off at a speed no pace runner could hope to keep up with.
I think he will come very close to his current WR of 2-1-39, and maybe take a few seconds off it, but there are no pace runners alive, who can pace him under 2hrs, in an open race.
@@peterlewis3540 Thanks for your insight, expert.
its amazing how he looks so relaxed in his record breaking runs. yet for sure he probably is feeling fire
I did a little quick calc. His average marathon pace is faster than I bike, and about 2x faster than my fastest 5k. 🙄😂
And as you say, he looks so relaxed it looks easy.
@@ddebenedictis I sometimes to do those calculations while running myself. I shouldn't..
Im pretty sure they did tests on his body and he could run at a 4:30 mile pace or smth for basically forever
@@ddebenedictis I’m a fairly experienced runner. And I’m in awe… this guy is faster in a marathon (on average per km) than I am over just 1km… I just cannot run that fast for 1 - let alone 42!
If he makes sub 2:00 on any open field, eligible marathon course, he would claim for me the crown of the greatest athlete of all time. He's already one of the greatest the world has ever seen, but this would be just another level, on top of his already incredible pantheon of successes.
All eyes on Berlin people. He's got to be eyeing at least a new world record on Sunday, to have switched from the NYC Marathon. But let's see what unfolds. Bekele showed what is possible at the age Eliud is at now, back in 2019 - it's looking a mouth watering race...!
I agree with you on that one…I gotta say between him and Lebron. But if Kipchoge does that…can’t deny it
Just behind Kelly Slater
@@juliendolhen8982 Kelly would be a contender. As would Phil Taylor in darts (yes, it is a sport).
However, Kipchoge's physical conditioning, and maintaining the razor thin margins to be as successful as he has, for as long as he has, would put him above those two in my opinion.
@@JohnDoe-xk1dv Kelly's longevity is extraordinary
He won is first world title in 1992 and won the Pipe Masters this year at the age of 50...
@@juliendolhen8982 not knocking Kelly Slater - he's a living legend as well. But Kipchoge did something previously unimaginable to human imagination not so long ago, in Vienna.
If he does that on an open marathon course... sealed it in my book.
First comment, I hope to see Kipchoge achieve breaking the 2 hour barrier on an official race, It is a toph challenge, but he has shown to the world that no human is limited. Cheers bro.
if no human is indeed limited: why doesn't he run the marathon backwards in time? he could reach the finish line 2 hours before the race starts! :D
@@NobbisLover there are no limits, but there are challenges, there are difficult things, but not impossible.
@@NobbisLover just go on with your day. There was no point in this comment
@@dylandixon4058 But in your's? If my comment had no point, how could there be a point in your comment, about my comment being pointless? Isn't your comment in this case without a double point? But never mind all this, if we see us as materialistic beings in a materialistic world which is bound to the laws of nature, we are also limited to this laws, therefore every human is limited...Else we think the that consciousness is fundamental and creates matter in an idealistic sense, then we are probably really unlimited in an materialistic sense, but until then i will say: we as humans are very limited: we get old, we die, we bleed, we shit, we write lots of pointless comments to tell other that they are pointless. Never the less, running a marathon as fast as kipchoge is impressive, but really in no way unlimited.
May the wind be with him
In his recent interview, Kipchoge said:
"I still believe that I can run a course record in Berlin, if not a world record it is a course record. I don't know which one will come in but I will call it a course record."
The current course record of Berlin is also the world record so if he's aiming to run a course record, means he's aiming at the official world record.
He races so infrequently, that when he does enter a particular race, its with a purpose in mind.
Statistics have shown, if he enters a race, then he usually wins it.
He has won Berlin on four occasions, and set his WR there, so the only reason he is showing up, is to lower his WR.
Only two athletes have ever gone below 2hrs 2min, himself, and Bekele.
Bekele is a spent force, so to improve on his WR time, will make it increasingly difficult to beat in the future.
That is him being sly and perhaps a little modest. I'm sure he knows quite well that course record and world record are the same, and his. 😊
He answered the question "what do you plan next?" by saying "I'm an an African, and in Africa we chase one rabbit at a time, as a team, so right now there are no plans" Love the way he thinks. Plus, I think it's perhaps more difficult to keep answering the same questions, and be patient with all the media and attention than running the race!
I really, really hope he completes a sub 2:00 race- it would crown an already incredible career. A realistic prediction for me is a 2:02-2:03.
2:01:55 is my guess
He's gonna run a 2:04:26. I am from the future
@@Tibovl This comment created a new future because of the ripple effect. I am from the new future were he runs 1:59:50
He'll slip on a banana peel right before the finish and end up with a 2:00:12
If it happens, would be the crown jewel of his career.
The marathon start lists are insane this year. London has 5 womens under 2:18, including Kosgei, the WR holder. I’m super excited to watch Kipchoge and all the other marathons these coming weeks
damn it!! I'm getting so hyped up for this race!! Let's hope Eliud is at his very best to give us a great show 🔥🔥🔥 As far the WR, he might break his own record, but breaking the mighty 2 hour barrier on an official race is a tad too much given his age... will see
I dont think so. Athletes are staying in their prime for longer now. Look at lebron james or frasier-price
Age isn’t a factor here. Long distance running isn’t a young man’s game…that’s why runners migrate to road running after a full career on track.
He is preparing for 2024 thats his objective. Berlin of this year is just an exciting thing for him to do, he his well for another 2-3 years
@@Njabuloseh Yeah you lose your power and explosiveness in your late 20's/early 30's, but you don't lose your endurance until much later.
I am hyped too, can hardly wait.
I have to say his achievements are outstanding, I thought that when I dipped under 4 hours in 2005 (3:59:46) that I had run my heart out. to do it in virtually half that time is just mind-blowing.
Kipchoge is so humble and wise to say that he expects to run "a very good race". The marathon is a monster and he knows it. Respect the marathon.
IMO, when he says such things as "good race" "let's run a very good race" he is thinking of WR! And when he improves a WR, he doesn't just improves it a bit...he improves a BIG CHUNK on it, knowing Kipchoge's mindset, and discipline I guess he is going for a SUB 2 now in BRLN, he knows there is not much time left for him, next year Paris Olympics-which he very well may win AGAIN-then only God knows....but now, he wants to demonstrate to everyone SUB2 is possible as we all know, he has done it once!
The world is behind this legendary man. I hope he smashes both records!
He looks like he’s taking a leisurely jog around the block. Amazing 🇰🇪
I’ve seen video of myself running that pace for a mile and you’re right, it looks like jogging. And it feels like it too right until the last 400 yards. When you try to run 1 sec faster per lap you can certainly feel it. For him to just do that for the whole 2nd half, wow.
We are witnessing the greatest athletic performance in history. How lucky we are to be alive now.
It's crazy to me that the INEOS 1:59 challenge was 3 years ago, it feels like last year. I'm guessing low 2:01 for Berlin this year, maybe 2:01:12
Edit: pretty good guess 😂
Pre Covid. Doesn´t feel like yesterday.
@@peterkarlsson1825 actually, covid is what makes it feels like yesterday.. not much was happening during the height of the pandemic which makes a long period of time seem shorter than it actually is
Damn, prety close. In the end it was 2:01:09
Fantastic prediction!
i just realized that this 1:59:40 during the ineos 1:59 challenge is 1 minute and 59 seconds faster than his wr
Your right! Mind blown
Just new shoes and it will be broken
I'll be there and i just hope he WINS!!!!
I don't believe in limits especially with Kipchoge but I think that sub 2 in a normal marathon with his age is nearly impossible to achieve at the moment. But if he run "just" 2 Hours flat that would be a pure historical moment and achievement.
The guy is inhuman. His age should be slowing him down by now, but he keeps on being amazing.
And there's no way his Wikipedia age is accurate. Here in Kaptagat everyone laughs at that. He's supposed to be 50 years old. If that is true it's insane
The reason he can continue aged 37, when others are a spent force at that age, is that he only races when he needs to.
All other athletes need to race to make ends meet, hence their shortened career after 35yrs or so, their bodies are wrecked or unable to take the stress of training at such a high level.
Kipchoge has made his money, from lucrative sponsorship deals and endorsements, and his incredible consistency in setting WR at the marathon. he only races when he feels ready.and is able to give it everything.
If he is not ready, then he does not race, so his body has more recovery time, than most other elite runners.
This is why he is running at elite level, long after most runners are a spent force, because he has remained injury free, and can pick and choose which races he wants to run.
He is under no financial pressure to race when his body tells him to rest.
Will be running it myself - albeit the day before - on rollerskates. Looking forward to cheer him on, on the sunday :)
I can’t wait to watch him running, it’s so beautiful 🚀
Would love to see you King Eliud smash the world record and possibly go under 2 hours. So far we are looking at the ideal running condition. Hope it stays that way.
I wish Kenenisa was in the mix as well.
All the best
He will definitely break the world record of 2:01:39. He might also go under 2 hours. This is based on the fact that he ran the 4th fastest marathon this year on a course (Tokyo) he's not familiar with, lost 10-12 seconds by running the wrong way, and that they ran against a strong wind.
Also, people questioning Kipchoge on several occasions if a person can run under 2 hours in a normal marathon might push him to run a sub-2-hour marathon.
Furthermore, Kipchoge said, what he will run will either be a world record or a course record. His particular words were, "I still believe that I can run a course record in Berlin. If not a world record, it is a course record. " From these words, I guess he assumes 1:59 is already a world record (but we all know it's not an unofficial wr) and might go below it, hence creating an official sub-2, or come close to it, thus creating a new course record in Berlin (and still a new official wr based on what we know).
Or what did he mean, because the official world record is at 2:01:39? Listen at 3:05.

Mimi wako mchanganuzi wa mbio za masafa marefu
I wish over the last 5 years Bekele and Kipchoge would have been going head to head instead of doing everything they could to avoid each other. Can you imagine if they had run against each other maybe 10 times they could have pushed and paced each other to under 2 hours several times. As it is since no one else is in their class they get no pushing or pacing over the last 10 miles. Sure as mentioned if you weren't feeling great on race day you would lose but you have to figure at least half the time they would have been at peak performance and they might have both broken 2 hours.
You are exaggerating Bekeles marathon performance catalogue. The guy has only ever ran under 2:05 twice. Other runners have far superior marathon resumes than Bekele.
I think that if they had both ran Berlin in 19, they would’ve gone under 2:01
@@mathieudube6907 name a runner that has run 2:01
Oh yeah Kipchoge and Bekele only.
@@laneweber8478 agreed
I can't believe I nearly missed this. Now my alarm is set for early Sunday morning. What a treat
I still feels goosebumps seeing his pace running with that pace for 2 hours trust me, i used to run 5-6km and I'm not lying he's superhuman I can't even imagine of keeping that pace for 2hours straight.
To run his marathon pace for 5km would be an impressive time (around 14:25) for most non-elite runners, so to do that over 8+ 5km back-to-back is insane. Unimaginable for most, I would suggest.
Juice
A legend. Wishing him the very best. He is an ambassador for the sport and also he is a life coach
I'm looking forward to see his run next sunday in my hometown.
Eliud Kipchoge might be the most beloved athlete in the world right now. The dude just radiates inspiration.
Everything is lining up for a record performance, I predict he goes around 2:00:45ish. Running sub 2:03 in tokyo was incredible, and even similar fitness will translate to this time with the better conditions
he ran 2:01.09 with 59:51 at the half way mark
@@Josh-qm7fl He went out a bit too fast or I think this time would have held up, either way a great performance!
I know this video is about the marathon, but I think it’s nuts that the decathlon world record was broken the same weekend that kipchoge ran 2:01:39
I cannot wait to watch live! Eliud is such an inspiration to us mere mortals :) I think he will break his WR ... I predict around 2:00:55. Regardless, so much gratitude to be alive to witness his contributions to athletics and humanity at large.
that's really really fast man i hope auuuuuuuuuuuugh
Close my guy 2:01:09
he definitely had a good race. 30 sec off his record. Mind blowing
It's exciting to think he's going to attempt to run under 2 hours again 😁👍🏃🏃🏃
I predict a sub-2:01 for Kipchoge. Glad to hear the weather will be near-perfect as I will be racing Berlin for my sixth Star. The weather forecasted is similar to 2018 NYC marathon where I ran my PR of 2:42.
Congrats on the sixth star best of luck
2:42 is my walking pace for marathon
berlin marathon just happened - he ran a 2:01:09 - shaving 30 seconds of his WR
You can tell that the man is racing against time in both senses of the word (marathon time and age). He KNOWS that sub 2 is possible, he KNOWS that he deserves to be the first to do it, but he also knows that his window can't stay open forever.
As for the upcoming event - like you said, it mostly boils down to his form at the day. Sure, he is a veritable machine, but everyone who runs knows that you can have days where you don't believe your watch because you might be a lot slower or faster than it feels.
Eliud is just 1 of the most incredible athletes in the world,… and those outside of the running world don’t seem to realise this.
He’s a true ground breaker & pioneer.
Eliud all the very best for Berlin marathon..
May the grace of God be with you n. Guide you to shine thru
Kipchoge is the man, a true legend, an inspiration for every runners.
Running a one-hour half marathon to get that negative split is ridiculous. He was already great by 2019. If he has at least two more years of running in him at the top level, no one else will be able to replicate his success in the marathon.
If track records stand when athletes use high-tech pace lighting systems, then his 1:59:40 should stand with him using fresh pacers
For me the BEST RUNNER in the World ❤️❤️❤️
I am getting excited for this race, especially given Kipchoge's opportunity to make history. I will be running it as well, though deep in the middle of the pack (coming from USA).
He has nothing left to prove but I am just happy we still get to watch him. I am excited to see if Jacob Kiplimo goes full marathon someday too.
Jacob kiplimo is the future of marathon but he is not yet, I am is fellow Ugandan.
@@lovelife7145 he is amazing!
There is one GOAT in the Marathon. Given that weather may play against a fast time, what the heck, I still want to hope for a 1:59:52 - No Human is Limited. Go Eliud!! One amazing human being, all around GOAT.
I Bieleve that Eliudkipchoge will break his 4 Year World Record in The Marathon come Sunday Morning 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Betting against GOAT Kipchoge would be a mistake. Athletes have run sub 58s and 59s in Half Marathons as recent as September 2022 in Copenhagen. The dynamics of half marathons are different, but I am looking forwards to limit getting pushed in Berlin. May the Lord be with Kipchoge as he attempts a shot at history making again
Don't worry, the weather is absolutely perfect here in Berlin.. it's cold in the morning but won't be hot sun.. I'm running in it, this is very exciting
If the conditions are right, I can see him breaking his world record by running low 2:01. Either way it’s a privilege to be able to watch him. He will go down as the GOAT.
😮
When the cameras follow Kipchoge's pace it looks like he's out for an easy Sunday morning jog. But, when you get the view of a spectator and do the math, you realize this man is running a 4:40 mile pace or faster for an entire marathon distance. That's so insane.
Faster than I bike, and twice my 5k pace. Amazing.
He is pretty much marathoning my 400m pace
I have no idea about what he'll pull out this sunday, but I wish him the best and surely hope he will write history again
My guess: New WR for sure
-Sub 2hr finish: it’s a 50/50 chance (I would love to see it happen) but the course isn’t as smooth as Vienna….it still has some sharp turns. Not to mention how ungodly difficult it is to cover 26.2 in that time (regardless of the course). But if there’s anyone capable of doing it….for sure it’s Kipchoge!
You think it's a 50/50? damn am really excited for this
They should put him side by side with Kiplimo, I have a feeling the record might go down
Kiplimo hasn’t made a debut to the full marathon. As of now he’s only running 5-10k and half marathons.
I think that, at 38, age will become a factor soon but I think, bearing in mind the predicted conditions, he probably has a shot at breaking the official world record.
I say it like Eliud he will not run a time he will just run a incredible fast race as fast as he can
I solidly belive he will run a new WR here in 🇩🇪
And he defenetly will win
But Shortly before the race I’ma say myself he will not run faat or
DNF so when he run phenomenally I will be even more happy for this incredible athlete
Agree, we lower our imagine to blow our mind when it happens
It's hard to believe he can run 2:50km pace 46 Km in a row! Most of us can't dream of running 1km that fast.
He signed my shoes just a few days ago. I wished him luck and hinted at 1.59.59 but he just smiled
Just watching this man’s form will improve your own… anyone know of a better form for distance?
He broke his own world record by 30s in Berlin 2022. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
i expect he will break 2hors, put to rest once and for all the debate of sub 2 officially. i hope all goes perfectly on Sunday.such a marvel to watch. probable reach halfway mark in under 60min to ensure his sub 2 margin is wide
that would be mind blowing, but it seems too crazy, remember he will have no pacers in front breaking the wind
@@IT_Farhan yes he will have pacers. He will not run under 2 hours though. Sub 2:01 is possible
Exciting! I hope he has all the optimal conditions.
Eliud Kipchoge will run under two hours. Long live Kipchoge.
Kenenisa bekele Breaking WR London🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🚩
Eliud is trying to win for a 4th not 5th time. The only athlete who ever won the Berlin Marathon 4 times so far is Haile Gebrselassie from Ethiopia. He is a legend of the Berlin Marathon himself.
Update: he ran 2:01:900
Rooting for him! What a legend!
Hes like watching art in motion
2 : 0 1 , 0 9 - Berlin 2022 new WR
World record now stands at 2:01:09!
This is going to be incredible! Such an amazing man
My God. And I am here, trying to run 10k under 40 minutes. 😂 Good lucky, Eliud 🙏💪.
Could possibly hire Jacob Kiplimo to pace him for a 1 hour flat half marathon, then maybe some change before he can pace himself once Kiplimo runs out of energy.
He will win for sure, be on record pace till 35 km then realize he can't make it and cruise home to a 2:02 not being out of breath when crossing the finish line.
My hope ofc is that he proves me wrong and runs 60:20 - 60:30 for the first half and then throws the hammer down and wins in 2:00:10 - 2:00:40 (But I doubt it)
Pace 2:54 min/km for 42 km distance just blows my mind.
i love how the ad was perfectly timed "And in his recent interview he said -ad break; I'm getting vaccinated"
TRP, you got Bekele's splits for his 2019 time?
Total Running Productions you should make a video about yourself! You seem to know so much so clearly you must've been an amazing runner as well. We'd all like to see that
I don't dare put anything past Kipchoge. The man can run a 4:40 mile. 26.2 times. Consecutively. That works out to about 13.1 miles per hour. For two hours straight. Insane!
Gonna go with 2:00:58. I think sub 2 is just out of his reach but i certainly hope he proves me wrong.
I think it's on. Let's hope he does have other (Nike-sponsored) runners around him to get to halfway under 61 minutes. Rattling off a further 13.1 miles in 59 something would be smoking but he has the temperament - and maybe the temperature - to make history again in Berlin.
A sub 2 marathon as what a sub 4 mile used to be
@Total Running Productions : Eliud Kipchoge has only won 4 Berlin Marathons, not 5 (matching Haile Gebrselassies 4 wins btw 2006-9). He won 2015,2017,2018 and 2022 so far
I really wish he gets that sub 2 marathon in berlin🙏
he can run the first 2 hour marathon if everything falls in place.2:00.47
Realistically I think even for kipchoge this is almost out of reach. But if anyone can do it it's kipchoge. There will never be anyone else even close to his caliber.
This video did say another athlete missed it by only 2 seconds
@@random-zb7fp Bekele misses his world record by 2 seconds. I'm talking going under 2 hours. He may run under 2:03, I'm 90% sure on that. But I have high doubts on a sub 2.
@@davisatdavis1 oh yeah I agree too. I think he might go sun 2:01
Im hoping if his ducks are all in a row as they say then he will break his world record
I think a sub 201 is on the cards
Sub 2 would be an awesome bonus but not likely
I am more than happy to be proven wrong
The man is an inspiration to many runners including us old 4 hour marathon plodders 😊👍🏃♂️
He is legendary I wish he breaks sub2 and inspires entire running community in the world
I dont even run. But I do know what a sub 2 hour is. It would be one of the greatest achievements of mankind. Period.
He is doing it!
I wish Geofry Kamorrow or another of his great training partners like Nagaye or Rogers Kwemoi would pace him so he has someone to run with for almost the half
2:01:09 💥💥💥💥
As an avid long distance runner of last 25 years i just cnanot fsthom running around 4:35 mile times 26 times straight in a race. I just dont believe this is real. I cant even imagine someone doing it for 10 straight miles. I literally have to run balls out sprinting as fast as i possibly can and still cant do it for a singular mile. Thats just way too fast.
The quesiton here is, are there pacers to mantain Kipchoge insane pace?
HEADS UP! The top 15 marathon times pop-up / screenshot at 2:45 into this video has the FIFTEENTH fastest time of Emmanuel Mutai reading as 3:03:13. OOPS.
Kipchoge also set the third best mark in Longon
he just smashed his WR
That's going to be exciting! All the best to him!
Btw: does anyone know why the Berlin course is so fast? Any reason behind it or just coincidence?
I read recently Kipchoge actually said he is hoping to run a PB on Sunday. Ask yourself, which one is he talking about? 2:01:39 or 1:59:40? I guess we will find out on Sunday morning won't we. 😁
Bekele will break it the following week in London
@@random-zb7fp how did Bekele go at the Great North Run? He'll likely break the M40 wr, but he's not likely to get close to 2:01:39, assuming that time survives the 2022 assault. He is still a great athlete, but he's no longer in that form, especially on the slower London course.
@@htmonaro1969 you have point. A legit one too. I just hope Bekele surprises us one last time. With the ultimate marathon performance
I'm gonna be watching him live on Sunday!
I think Kipchoge can sub a new WR but I don't know if he can run under 2hrs.l Hope he can do it.
