3:42 Lagat did a 51.6 final lap in a 12:59 race(!) (London 2006) Also Bekele did a 52.9 final lap in a 12:48 race (!) (Zurich 2006) And Farah did a 50.89(!) final lap. That was in a 14:10 race (Gateshead 2013)
Pretty sure the Americans are dominating the mid distances - winning many of the 1500m events and having a consistent showing in 5-10km. The marathon is more for the featherweights (or those weighing less than 115lbs).
When you state that the "average" person can run a 5K between 25-33 mins that should be qualified as someone who is actually training. Considering that the true "average" person in Europe or North America is overweight and doesn't exercise regularly, that is misleading. Even the "average" Parkrun time at the slow end of this range, 32 minutes according to their website, and although an entry-level still requires some basic fitness and training to even be able to finish!
Oh yeah I forgot that most people can barely run around a track 1 time without stopping before being seriously out of it. And they say distance running is easy because you are going slow XD
3:56 XD By the way, the 1 mile world record, 3:43, is low 55s per 400, and you know Cameron Myers, the new prodigy who set the new high school mile record of 3:50? He almost beat the womens 1500M time in a mile! I mean I can barely run a kilometer that fast XD jk I have a 5k of 19:21 which is 3:52 per km pace, but still, those times are immaculent! I personally find those times to be WAY more impressive than the 100m, 200m, and 400m records. But that's just me.
Kipchoge’s pace is truly unbelievable. Feel like I’m getting to a good level of fitness yet I could handle his pace for 3k at best
Close to 8 mins for the 3k is class bro. Injured right now but hope to start training again soon.
@@AdamJansen786 more like 8:30!!! Hope you recover quickly mate. Keep up the good work 👍
lol I’m a girl and I’d be thrilled to do his pace for 1 mile…crazy
Top notch quality video geeza
The majority of people would not be able to keep of with Kipchoge's marathon pace for 800m, let alone a kilometer. These guys are truly next level.
dang this was high quality good job
nice video
Cheers!

Farah dropped a 50:6 last lap at 5000 euros
Kiptum rip ran 300 km a week
For the american viewers that is about 300.000.000 cheeseburgers and five mcflurries
