Steeplechase: How Hard Can It Be?

- Olympic sport steeplechase is a little like a distance race with booby traps. In another installment of "How Hard Can It Be?" WSJ's Stu Woo tries his hand (and feet) at steeplechase with a nationally ranked steeplechase runner who happens to be the subject of the song "Hey There Delilah".

She is the subject of Hey There Delilah???? Holy crap. I've been wondering this for seven years.
hhhahahaa yeah same here
Scheurthiaume Oh my heck same
Yeah and now he actually pays the bills with his guitar! ;)
The average American male (about 43 years old, 190 lbs) couldn't break 2 minutes for a lap (120 seconds)
His 81 second lap, with hurdles, is actually pretty good for the average population.
Except he isn't 43 years old. He is probably among the least athletic person in his age group except the morbidly obese ones
yeah but his pace wouldve killed him had he tried to run the entire race that fast
yogibear6363 2 minutes in ridiculous slow for a 43 year old!!! That's only an 8 minute mile pace
average 70-100 second 400 me 62 and im not 400 runner I run 100 800 hurdle cross country and soccer never have 400 training
yes, but what’s the average among athletes. they’re a whole different class.
81 secs is really good for someone with zero experience, most Americans would fall or take at least 100 sec.
Hey there, Delilah.
at least he is letting people into the track world a little more.
why are you hating on him so much? yeah he obviously isn't a professional runner but could anyone of you have done it better with zero experience? well i couldn't.
me first 400 73 second I run late 11 100 meter before I can run 60s 100 cross country don't help me on 400 100 sprint don't help me at 400 too
@@hanphilnoffz8827 you ran 73 without hurdles buddy
@@sam1016kim that the first one getting back in shape lol but now around 59-62 I think I run 73 400 twice which is good progress 800 maybe mid 2:20s
I love running steeplechase. It's a beautiful race
I love that song
"someone wrote a song about" guess she broke up?
+dan16000 no, interestingly enough it was just a casual crush
the song writer and the girl didnt even meet each other in person before he wrote the song. Its like a celebrity crush thing we all get once in a while
@@DaftPunkSkittle wait didnt he brought her to the grammys
@@DaftPunkSkittle no they meet at a party before. he told the story in a youtube video.
Thanks for the explanation of steeplechase, just what i was looking for. What a strange sport.
Event*
if you Didn't know it is an Event of Track and Field, but yes it's hella strange to watch 😂
Was not expecting the most interesting part to be something completely different from running the steeplechase
LOVE. the steeplechase!
He needs to learn how to run
soo true
He's really not athletic at all.
And thats a good baseline for us to look at.
With out hurdle obviously into 70s
that is so cool about the song!! world is a small place... kind of
Very good reporting!
Great job for your first try.
This is not how we do it in Kenya but it is pretty cool.
Emmanuel Essandah yeah the Kenyans have a unique technique, everyone here tries it but can't do it cause they hit the steeple or loose their balance when they land
Good job Stu Woo! I'm sure I would look more awkward than you trying those hurdles. It looks fun, but not easy.
Shout out to that guy being a fan before they won
Nah he is a good guy, he does all of these "how hard can they be" Series.
DELILAH!
Hey there Delilah!!
Every year i run the steeple chase in high school lol its so much fun
Late asf but don’t hate on the guy for running 81 w absolutely no training. That’s genuinely impressive, especially if he’s jumping mens 3 feet like the men’s height is
i might be doing a steeplechase for track soon 😬
Hey there Delilah 🤗❣️
what a funny guy
The WallStreet Journal can't do NEWS for 'real' either.
Here 's wats gonna happen: My foot is gonna miss the hurdle and i will land in water.
Haha the warmups were the reason why i stopped doing sprint hurdles at my first practice i tripped over a hurdle and cut my shin open and now i have a huge scar on my leg
try javelin
0:59 Tom Higgenson got his sister to infiltrate Delilah's training camp?
Learned what i wanted lol
(Casually) : steeplechase athlete and subject of "hey there delilah"
Doesn't even sound suprised at all
No delilah, no one thinks about your steeplechase accomplishments first.
Riz 😂 I was so shook for the rest of the video and my mind kept darting back to that instead of the fact that she’s a steeple chase champ
Yo hol up. Deadass?
why is it a weird event? it is the event that makes most sense from a functional/military point of view
Wait JEFF BUSH IS A CAMERA MAN
Don't let this distract you from the fact DyE Fantasy is really confusing.
Evan Yeager - Silver metal Rio
McMasters David it's Evan Jager actually
Im training for LA 2028 at 44. I run a 3.9 40
Haha minimal condition;)
That's time wrong
Plymetrics does not mean Jump Training.
He cannot run or jump but he will try

The girls height is only like 75cm
3:51 "WEW !! its wet" no shit sherlock
How fucking random is this video
More importantly, she is the subject matter of Hay There Delilah
literally in middle school athletics if you don’t finish by at least 78 seconds you’re kicked out and that’s middle schoolers this guy runs at an embarrassing time
5 hurdles and a water pit and he probably wasn’t going all out for a TH-cam video, he could easily get into low 70 seventies maybe even 60s if he actually tried on a normal course.
81 second lap my @ss. Dude is barely jogging and he's claiming to have run a 5:22ish per mile pace. I know it's only 1 lap, but that's no 5 minute pace your running Stu. You don't have to lie to make friends.
mo yaya You just furthered his argument. How could he have ran an 81 sec lap if he was jogging in the video and there are obstacles?
he was running as hard as he could he wasn't trying to run a mile lol
its really fun to run steeple, but when you don't have strength, don't try
Uh, steeple chase is definitely more aerobic then anaerobic. If you don’t have endurance, don’t try.
What a spazz.
Was bad
dayum! wat a babe for a steeplechaser! wouldn't mind if she were my pacemaker!
He half asses everything athletes try to him how to do and plays up how weak and slow he is every time.
She's speaking so much shit, she's saying she runs 3kmSC in 8:24min? Such bullshit, she's breaking the world record by 26seconds?!
her P.R is 9:46. which is still very very fast for a female.
when did she say that?
ninjaOboy google her
Rusty Fondleberg Regardless of her having a fast pb, she's full of it. A min & a half off? Thats taking negative splits to the extreme. I know fast 800m runners like Kyle Langford but he doesnt say he's aiming for a 46second split.
no she comes off as being full of it and a bit of a tool. obviously that's too extreme. she is a fast tool though.
Not hating or anything, but surely you could have found somebody a bit more athletic to do these olympic event videos. This guy couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag.
hey there delilah was made about an imaginary girl.
BOBBIE WILSON nope
that's a sport lol
Can’t be that hard considering it’s not an actual sport
Spazzy DeV it’s in the olympics
AG R no wonder the olympics are dying
Bro it’s been part of the olympics for a looonnggg time.... it’s part of track and field lol
81 seconds?! That is slow and the way he runs is weird and oh my he is not athletic at all
5 hurdles and a water pit
