This channel is going to blow up in the very near future, I feel it in my bones. But overall I gotta say, very entertaining and great insight. Imma run now!
The most important thing is - looking at Kelvin - is that his wrist joints are controlled and are moving entirely in harmony with this ankle joints (left hand with right foot and right foot with left hand). You can see this in particular in the frontal view. Among others this results in the extreme easiness of his "toe-off". It looks like the leaves the ground with no effort. No push-off at all.
Your running videos are both very entertaining and well produced and well researched and helpful as someone getting back into running. i rarely subscribe to channels after watching one video, but this video is very impressive and most importantly helpful!
@@geoffreymaithya254 we talking about proper running style that can be fought to a recreational runner to improve performance. Kiptum is the fastest marathoner, but that’s not a running style you can emulate.
Thanks! Yep I can add it to the list of videos I need to get done. Interestingly, if you look at Chelimo's biomechanics, you can see how long his legs are compared to his torso - he's genetically perfect for running really fast and making it look effortless. Connor
Always remember that the best marathon runners average 45-65 kilos in weight and that is crucial in making them champs. Its almost impossible to win marathon if you weight above 65 kilos.
Pretty good. I have subscribed to see what else I can see to help this old geezer get faster (been studying form for 11 years since I retired). Take a look at Bekele's weight shift and note the podition of his head, as perfect as you can get imo, I am a still a work in progress but improving. Also note how Kelvin used his shoulders to access more extension on the opposite side thus freeing his hips a bit more to achieve that extra extension.
@@PeakStride Me too, learnt a lot from Jae including KK's shoulders, not a lot from Benzies unfortunately. Running Form by Owen anderson is my favourite book on the subject to date. Now to watch the rest of your videos :-)
Great tips, I find my cadence is naturally high, 185 when I jog, 200 when I run fast, but pace doesn't increase that much. So I guess increasing stride length using a heel lift is something I didn't hear before. I think that might require improving flexibility as well.
Yes it has a name it’s called the Weck method. He’s swaying from side to side to land his centre of mass, sagittally, over his foot. This is basic functional anatomy stuff mate. We learnt that shit in basic little massage therapy courses on human motion. I thought physios would be all over this.
What everyone misses on this subject is weight. Running at 16kmh and up throught 20 and higher absolutely depends on super light weight if you are going to do it over several miles
I'm sorry, but Heel lift does not equate to producing more Linear Momentum, it's more of a way to reducing your inertia which a)allows for a faster leg recoil, b) improves your angular momentum control with the arms (which Kiptum does very aggresively, due to the disproportion of arm/leg mass). You might be on to something with the myofascial line though. Kipchoge taps into that with leg stifffness, you can see the recoil in his glutes every time he takes a step (back-forward). Probably Kiptum does this in a different way then? Your upper body rotation is compensating for the lack of hip stability. Those forces should be regulated in the pelvis. Interesting video to start the discussion, thanks!
Great comment - thanks for the in depth analysis. It’s very interesting how all the elite seems to have their own quirks that they use to achieve the result!
i think to lift the foot that high a person need to have very flexible hipflexors and strong gluts and Hams too. but needs to have an equal opposing force from the upper body which i domt know how to work it for sure! probbaly core exercises and chest and shoulders, Right? your thoughts?
Hi Viewers! Head on over to my latest video where I broke down Jakob Ingebrigsten’s Form 🚀
th-cam.com/video/pTdu-o7oJno/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hs9j_9-uTjH08XKB
Clicked on this link as part of a research project I am doing on running form, this legend will be missed.
It's unfortunate that he is no more, Rest in Peace Kiptum.
Shocking news :(
So sad . Rest in peace Kelvin .
This channel is going to blow up in the very near future, I feel it in my bones.

Thankyou very much - I hope you’re running is going well!

Is that so ? Open ,,,,,💩💩💩💩💩
Thanks for the comment and the kind words! More videos to come
The only running style to be used for teaching is that of Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda 🇺🇬.
Effortless speed!
He can't lace kiptum though kiptum is top top talent
@@geoffreymaithya254 we talking about proper running style that can be fought to a recreational runner to improve performance.

@@patrickcheptoek2171 his style to me is the best and I love it because I ran i wonder what is your argument with running style
Wait till you see Eliud Kipchoge form. Perfection
Wonderful video. Can you do other runners analysis like Jakob Ingebrigtsen or Chelimo?

Absolutely - there are a couple of outliers who were heavier and won marathons, but few and far between
😢 that’s the reason my 10km pr improvements are too slow
i’m 5’6” @81kg

@mightbeanybody thanks I’ll have to find that book and have a read!

Yes might need to work on lengthening that stride! Good stuff
Yeah this is key to improve stride length. Improved hip mobility and extension is key.
thanks for the tip!
Good tips.
Great content 👍
Very good analysis!
Wonderful video.
great vid hip mobility might be what I'm missing
Thanks! Yep it’s something I am also working on too

I don’t know what the weak method is - but I’ve done Functional patterns courses.
What everyone misses on this subject is weight. Running at 16kmh and up throught 20 and higher absolutely depends on super light weight if you are going to do it over several miles
E.g. get on the treadmill, support yourself until there is no more than 53kg on your feet, and your stride, kick and strike point will be perfect! 😊
Kiptum got track and field experiences ever since 2017
yes but he’s 24 and running only marathons now - very early compared to most elites

23 in Kenyan years btw.
Kelvin didn't appear from nowhere, he was Eliud pacer.
Yes he was!
Now do one of Letesenbet Gidey. - she runs like stones skipping upon still water on a mountain lake, it doesn’t get better than her
She floats along effortlessly - looked fantastic in the New York Marathon! I’ll add her to the list

but needs to have an equal opposing force from the upper body which i domt know how to work it for sure! probbaly core exercises and chest and shoulders, Right? your thoughts?
Absolutely - the whole body works together for every movement
Stretching the groin the right way will help with heel lift
Torso coiling sounds actually pretty good😂
Spinal Engine theory and David Wecks 'coiling core' or Head Over Foot theory all being proven by Kelvin here. Well spotted.
Looks great hey!
Thats actually a Bulgarian Split Squat not a lunge
you got me
Drink Cod Liver Oil for the hip mobility!
Definitely 23 years old
Kelvin kiptum is 35 years
You don't know how are you are you know.
How to improve? Run more
how you have so little subs?
Thankyou mate - I only just started my TH-cam journey 2 months ago.
Connor
You need the medicine you can buy in Kenya also. The "secret" ingredient. And a suspect coach.
The sport of running has become a joke, more of a testament to the advancements in technology than those in athleticism.
I suspect it’s going down the road of swimming in the early 2000s with the super suits etc. will eventually go too far, and get reigned back in.
I wish haha
