Can we also not forget this man ran almost entirely ALONE the whole race. The fact that he was able to smash the record by so much with no pacers and with no other competitors around with him is astonishing
Crummock, you're exactly right - that's what I was thinking the whole time too. As for the idiot comment by collide, don't mind him, he just turned 4 years old...
I think its because usually the camera's are in front of the runners. Also a few times the camera was right behind Parker then he would slow down around other runners showing how fast he was going.
The fact that his half marathon was slower than the pace that kipchoge regularly runs his full marathons is astonishing, considering how incredible THIS race was.
@@someoneawesome8660 kipchoge still runs about 4-6 seconds faster per mile. Anyway comparing this to half marathon times, it just isn't that special. Which is not that surprising since very few people ever run 25k. Still fast, just always a dozen Kenyans who can run faster:P
I keep coming back to this video. It's such great pre-run motivation for me. I actually watched it in the morning before I ran my half marathon PR. Something about it just gets me hyped ya know?
Parker is a legend. I had the pleasure of running a 5k back in 2009 that he also ran in. To see that he’s come this far in his running career is absolute motivation.
Dream Big and execute your plan...well done Parker! Congrats on your amazing race to an American 25k record! Inspiring to watch. Saucony Find Your Strong... that's how you do it!
This looks like an 400m sprint. Seriously! How can he run 62 and a half 400m sprints like that, without catching a breath or having a pee just once. Must have been training while still in the mother’s womb. God bless you and keep you alive running Godspeed🔥
So in other words, dont talk shit or you'll get exposed on his vids. But that was a true "suck it" moment that he held that pace even though someone doubted him.
man, he looks insanely fast running this, like he's running an 800m or something, even when you compare it to kipchoge and how he looks when he's running a marathon at this speed, for some reason this still looks way faster
I'M nor sure how good the quality will be but on the top right hand corner of most any TH-cam video you can tap a small circle/or 3 vertical dots for which is the settings. Then look for play speed and slow it down to either . 75 , .50 , or .25 which puts the visual and audio in slow motion. Hopefully it will work on your computer, tablet or mobile phone.Good luck, Kalif🏃♀️

Jarrod Hemann sorry man, that’s incorrect. He often runs in the Fastwitch but this is a prototype carbon plate shoe used by one or two Saucony athletes in recent races . Check the pictures online. Would like to know more about it and if it meets the rules on being readily available to everyone. Also, what are the performance advantages of this shoe compared to shoes like the vaporfly which offers between 1.6% and 6% better economy. You can see the amount of spring in Parker’s stride with this shoe. Probably puts him on par with the vaporfly guys but gives him an added benefit against the previous 25k record holder, which is worth highlighting. The 30 second difference is a nice gap and he probably would have won in the standard Fastwitch but I’d imagine the shoes are worth a bit
RunFor OurLives why do they wear them so? Why didn’t Kipchoge wear Zoom Streak (which offer close to 2% increase in efficiency)for his 2:01? Why do you think Kipchoge wore the 4% shoes and not the Zoom streak? Why do you think Parker wore these and not the Fastwitch as per usual? ....if it’s nothing to do with the shoe? I know how hard these guys work. It’s been proven the shoes offer a an advantage in the journal of sports science. Anything me and you offer up as an argument isn’t really worth anything as we haven’t done that empirical testing with the necessary controls in place. Parker is one of my favorite runners regardless, but the shoe must be acknowledged in the historical records for fairness
Gee..memories! In 1978 I was doing no real training...just jogging w this self centered girl....real slow..9min miles. Well I was told the local 25km race was coming up. I had no idea how far 25km was...only that it was 5 laps. One guy picks up pace on 4th lap..so I just took over on 5th lap n won by over a min... First n only 25k in 1:19:20

It's weird, usually the camera makes runners look slow, maybe it's his form I dunno, but you can tell he's hauling the whole way.

I was thinking that the whole time...like, dayam, Kipchoge be flying...and this dudes already flying! =)
It wasn't a half marathon. It was 25km, which is 2.5 miles more than a half marathon. The time equates to about a 2:03 marathon.

looks like a prototype, precursor to the endorphin pros
Great job Parker! So powerful!

How the hell do you keep up that same consistent pace mile after mile after mile ... speechless with admiration :-)
Do hundreds/thousands of times, most of it is just keeping a timer on your watch and through experience running time and time again.
