It makes you realise how much tactics go into running, especially middle distance running. It’s not as simple as run to the finish line as fast as you can.
@@GenericInternetter deliberately? Mans basically sprinted the first 400 meters even the top athletes in this event cant keep that pace up for the full 800 meters, that's why 400 I'd considered a sprint while 800 isn't
Haha I did this once in high school. I was one of the worst runners on the team and at one meet I just said “screw it” and went all out on the 800m. Basically ran the first 400m at my 400m speed and left nothing for the second lap. I met the same fate as this poor chap. But I did manage to stretch out the best runner on the home team, who probably didn’t realize who I was or what I was doing, which allowed the best runner on my team to pull ahead and win. My coach told me “That was awesome but don’t ever do that again.”
I tried to do it on a 5k run. It was my last race so I thought maybe just maybe I can will myself to stay pace. Charged out of the gate like I was running the mile. Didn't turn out very well for my final time lol.
Happened to me as well in grade 10. I used to run the 1500 and 3000 so I was quite inexperienced at the 800. I went out way too fast and did the first 400 like 2 seconds slower than my PB and then did the second lap in a horrendous 1:20.
@@MeguminIsWaifu Lol 1:20 is probably better than my second lap tbh… I was BAD. I only broke 2:00 once and that was in practice. I think my best time in a meet was like 2:08.
I’m stupid I know. But what is a pacemaker? Sounds self explanatory I know. But what’s the point of them and what was the point of this one’s actions of going so far ahead at first.
@@chatochafa130 In "champiomship races" (ones where winning is more important than time), they'll have pacemakers to ensure the runners stay at a good pace. Without pacemakers, they'll sometimes run slow for 3/4 of the race with the goal of conversing energy to out sprint the others at the end. If someone is going for a record, a pacemaker can be used to keep them on the target pace for the record throughout.

I used to run the 100, 400, and 1600 meter back in middle school. Coach comes up to me 10 minutes before the 800 and says he needs another runner. Having already run my other events and not trained for the 800, I just decided to just go all out the first lap and see how long I can last. I will never forget that feeling being a full 100 meters ahead of the pack and all the cheers from the stands. Unfortunately, 200 meters into the 2nd lap, and I was already 8th place and I eventually finished 3rd to last. Fun times.
Dude I did the same thing on my last 800m as a high school senior. Stupidest thing I ever did but my coach and family said it brought a smile to the faces.
I wonder if anyone practices that style of racing??? Run flat out as long as you can and slowly but surely increase the distance you are able to run that pace. When I was in high school I was never able to go at 100% for 4 laps, but I realized I could go 90% for over 5 laps. That last 10% of max is gruesome on your endurance.

@@glennzagelasius643 People, he was the race pacemaker or rabbit, he was supposed to go out fast, but he over did it. Rabbits aren't expected to win or even finish the race, their job is to set a fast pace
Kipketers former world record had even an opening of 48.1s. 49.2 is actually a good time for a pacemaker, if you want to run 1.42-1.43. The others just didn’t want to run a PB, but were more caring about each other. That’s why it looked so silly.
I actually did this in an 800m race at school, I was almost a third of a lap in front after lap 1, there was a good 800 runner in that field though, and he caught me an passed me on the home straight(start of it...he pulled 15-20 meters on me by the line hahaha). I still got 2nd though
This is not a fail, he is supposed to slow down at the end since he is a pacemaker and cannot really finish. He just sets a fast pace to make the others feel behind and get the need to go faster
I just realized that the pacer actually went out at the correct pace!! He went out at about around 49 seconds which is the pace that they were supposed to try and stick with
@@retrom yes and no , i mean , it's not forbidden for him to finish the race even win it if he could , but generally they stop at the point they were planed (for example 600M on a 800M) and if they don't stop they are overtake by the favorits during the sprint
A pacemaker, pace-setter, or rabbit (colloquial)[1] is a runner who leads a middle- or long distance running event for the first section to ensure a fast time and avoid excessive tactical racing. Pacemakers are frequently employed by race organisers for world record attempts with specific instructions for lap times. Some athletes have become essentially professional pacemakers. A competitor who chooses the tactic of leading in order to win is called a front-runner rather than a pacemaker.
Davy Ker no it's usually a veteran runner who's not good enough to compete with the best anymore, but can run the first part of the race on a given time like clockwork
The problem is too often the pack just gets stuck behind a fast finisher who slows the race down tactically. Makes for a boring race, slow times, and fastest kick wins instead of the actual fastest 800 runner. Pacemaker keeps lazy pros honest.
@@kingqueen6848 When you look back it causes several problems. One is your focus is changed. Your only focus should be on winning. Second, looking back is usually when you are starting to feel you are at your max, you are looking back to see if you can slow down a bit and which most do. Third, you are sending a signal to your competition behind you, as soon as you look forward they automatically push forward to close that gap and surprise you and it tells them your situation. Last, it is a very non-Alpha thing to do. Looking back will make you look weak. Weakest that everyone sees. Nobody is going to let a weak person finish first or cheer for you.
@@raymundlogo3521 thank you. But as I understood this guy had to be called "front-runner" because "A competitor who chooses the tactic of leading in order to win is called a front-runner rather than a pacemaker.".
Yes i do but you ll can only see/trace pace making from the beginning of a race. The runner seems to slow down at the end but the pace maker was tired/exhausted. He died out like most 400 meter runners to the end. He never gave up until they all pass him, again the pace maker set/hold/the timing of the race respectable. He did not win, he may have won if he didn t look back. His last 100meters was like their jogging/running at the beginning.
You rarely see what happens to a suicide pace runner at the pro level. This is what it looks like. The anchor is out in the last 100m, he is going nowhere, and the entire field passes. In the world of recreational 5k and 10k, you see it all the time though.
Steven Turner I saw it almost every time in amateur race, those guys just couldn't help but try to show off how fast they are, and in the end they either forfeit or lose really badly.
It happened to me in my first race in my own town. It was a 7km race divided in two laps. Went my first lap with the beasts and then I barely finish the race running like a turtle. I did a decent time tough.
@@seanm3189 I would not care, lool If I was official winner or not, If I was pacemaker and burnt the field off and actually won the race, I'd know I had won, and I'd be pulling Bolt poses all over the place HAHAHAHA
Did something similar in the mile. Too nervous/excited so I went out really strong, and I went through 400 in 56...This was a high school race btw. I pr'd for 800m by 1.5 seconds enroute in 1:58, and then the crowd thought I was going to attempt a sub 4 so they started freaking out. I then came through lap 3 in 3:18, and finished in 3rd at 4:48. After the race the other team's coaches looked at me with these shit eating grins and tried not to laugh at me.
For those of u who dont run. I ran a pr of 1:59 for the 800m and ran a 4:44 pr for the mile and my coach dropped me from the mile senior year cuz my 400m time was better 51 secs even tho the 400m and 800m are not suppose to be run cuz they r too close (aka no rest time). My 800m time is still much better than the 400m time as far as cif qualifications. This means that my 4:44 time was complete shit compared to my 1:59 (supposedly amazing) 800m cuz a 4:44 isnt even remotely close a cif qualification. So if a person runs a 1:58 split and a 4:48 mile that is prob 10 times worse than this race shown here as far as pacing. But it prob means u could break 4:30 easily if the 1st half mile was 12 seconds slower.
That is the 800 for you. First 200: I’m killing it. This pace is easy! Second 200: This is my day! Smooth as ice! Maybe I’ll speed up a bit!” Third 200: I think I’m still good. Just need to increase the effort. Don’t panic.” 150 to go: “I made a big mistake. This sucks. But the finish line is right over there. I can take anything for a few more seconds.” Final stretch; “I can’t move. Everyone is passing me. I hate my life. I hate myself. I hate this track. I want to move up to the marathon so this never happens again. Maybe I should just quit running entirely.”
I did this mistake once myself in sprinting in front of the pack right from the getgo. I always behaved differently in training, but wanted to set a mark in a competition. Ended up second last and you feel like shit, because you know you just fucked up.
World record is 1:40. Definitely possible but these athletics are just taking it easy. The pacemaker has potential to do well if he trained himself to sprint full 800m
seriously when Rudisha ran the WR in London 2012 his first lap was 49.5. I'm pretty sure also that they always ask pacemakers to run fast (no-one asks pacemakers to run a slow first lap) and it's the runner's job to keep up with them if they want. I hate when the commentators think that the pacemaker has to always be right infront of the lead runner to be effective
@stealthysmirth i agree, this defo looked like a situation where a pace was asked for but then backed out of on the day. it happens pretty often in these events
say they asked for a 1:42-1:43 pace, the pacemaker would've been correct in going through in 49. bear in mind that the racers would then follow in around 50 or perhaps a very high 49 first lap. the finishing times would then come down to their endurance rather than a final sprint, as is the case with all of the fastest times ever
jorgensenmj A few weeks ago I was watching my former high school in a track meet and a kid went out in the 2 mile with like a 30 sec 200 then ended up last by 2 laps
Yeah I ran the 800m for the first time ever at school and pretty much sprinted the first lap and was way in the lead not really knowing what I was doing and got so tired and out of breath I couldn’t even finish the race, I learnt my lesson. I should have just done the 100m as I am quick oh well
This is literally what happened to me once when I was running a 1600m but thought I was running a 800m. I was very confused as to why the bell was not rung when I finished my third lap (it was a 200m track).
@@elijahmalone7705 I did the 800m for literally all my years doing track and the coach probably decided to spice things up that day and stick me in the 1600m. I knew I was in it but I forgot once I started running xD
All the top comments from people that think this is actually something to be embarrassed of when he just did his job and then chose to finish the race... there’s a reason hes a pacemaker and not an athlete in the field it’s because he obviously isn’t as good of a runner so he’s the pacer lol still great athletes though
Parents Good lord, at least someone that knows what a pacer's role is. These idiots think that the guy is a pro that wanted to win the race so badly that ran too fast for the distance...
He did his job terribly.... The race would have played out the same even if he wasn’t there. After 200 meters everyone realized they couldn’t keep with him and so he was useless to them. They need for him to be a couple feet ahead so they can try to stick with him and he can push their pace. If the rabbit was say 5 yards ahead then the front runner would be able to push the pace by trying to stay with the rabbit. Everyone else would follow behind him and therefor the race would be faster. However, here the front runner realized very early on that trying to stay with the rabbit was pointless. He was 25 yards ahead at least at 400. If the rabbit hadn’t sprinted the first 400 and done his job correctly then maybe everyone else would’ve been able to get faster times.
I did this when I "ran" track for only 1 year in the 8th grade. It was the 400, and my first meet, so adrenaline was high. I basically sprinted the first 2 turns then completely ran out of gas. I was lucky to even cross the finish line at all. That sure was a fun day for the ego.
49 low is not uncommon in Diamond League paced races. The 200m in 23 low were way too quick however, so that is why the pack backed off. 24 mid and 50 flat would have been more reasonable.
Pacemaker !! what a stupid concept. Let the real contestants have their race and the fastest wins. Gee so logical and has been done that way for 100 or more years.

When you realize Rudisha litterally ran his first lap at that exact pace ..
That's when you know you've fucked up
@- Dalcnori - Rudisha's split in his world record was 49.28, this guy split 49.25.
Kipketers former world record had even an opening of 48.1s. 49.2 is actually a good time for a pacemaker, if you want to run 1.42-1.43. The others just didn’t want to run a PB, but were more caring about each other. That’s why it looked so silly.

This is not a fail, he is supposed to slow down at the end since he is a pacemaker and cannot really finish. He just sets a fast pace to make the others feel behind and get the need to go faster
You're right, it wasn't a fail at losing.

@@muggensan8611 He's not a competitor?
@@retrom yes and no , i mean , it's not forbidden for him to finish the race even win it if he could , but generally they stop at the point they were planed (for example 600M on a 800M) and if they don't stop they are overtake by the favorits during the sprint
A pacemaker, pace-setter, or rabbit (colloquial)[1] is a runner who leads a middle- or long distance running event for the first section to ensure a fast time and avoid excessive tactical racing. Pacemakers are frequently employed by race organisers for world record attempts with specific instructions for lap times. Some athletes have become essentially professional pacemakers. A competitor who chooses the tactic of leading in order to win is called a front-runner rather than a pacemaker.
Thanks
Well he did try to ensure a fast time surely 😁
So they'll often be another pro or high-level runner who has not qualified or chose not to run the race?
Davy Ker no it's usually a veteran runner who's not good enough to compete with the best anymore, but can run the first part of the race on a given time like clockwork
Terimakasih
Same happened to me in school during the egg and spoon race. I set a blistering pace for the first 3 yards, sadly it didn't last.

th-cam.com/video/xyHlpGm8fKc/w-d-xo.html
i never really saw the point of a pacemaker. Let them just run and figure it out themselves.
The problem is too often the pack just gets stuck behind a fast finisher who slows the race down tactically. Makes for a boring race, slow times, and fastest kick wins instead of the actual fastest 800 runner.
Pacemaker keeps lazy pros honest.
"let's face it, the race was a mess"
lol, idk man that was hilarious af
spoken just after one of the athletes stumbles over the finish line :D
Never look back when you run a race.
Right it's a big reason he lost this Race
But why?
@@kingqueen6848 When you look back it causes several problems. One is your focus is changed. Your only focus should be on winning. Second, looking back is usually when you are starting to feel you are at your max, you are looking back to see if you can slow down a bit and which most do. Third, you are sending a signal to your competition behind you, as soon as you look forward they automatically push forward to close that gap and surprise you and it tells them your situation. Last, it is a very non-Alpha thing to do. Looking back will make you look weak. Weakest that everyone sees. Nobody is going to let a weak person finish first or cheer for you.

@@anonymoussecret5948 Oh please, that's not even in the top ten for today's dumbest youtube comments.
Do u even know what a pacemaker is?
Yes i do but you ll can only see/trace pace making from the beginning of a race. The runner seems to slow down at the end but the pace maker was tired/exhausted. He died out like most 400 meter runners to the end. He never gave up until they all pass him, again the pace maker set/hold/the timing of the race respectable. He did not win, he may have won if he didn t look back. His last 100meters was like their jogging/running at the beginning.
I agree with marlly taylor
You rarely see what happens to a suicide pace runner at the pro level. This is what it looks like. The anchor is out in the last 100m, he is going nowhere, and the entire field passes.
In the world of recreational 5k and 10k, you see it all the time though.
Steven Turner true that. Pros rightfully try to avoid things like this due to years of experience. You'll see in it in MS running as well.
he was only paid to run 400meters. he did his job and then some.
Steven Turner I saw it almost every time in amateur race, those guys just couldn't help but try to show off how fast they are, and in the end they either forfeit or lose really badly.
It happened to me in my first race in my own town. It was a 7km race divided in two laps. Went my first lap with the beasts and then I barely finish the race running like a turtle. I did a decent time tough.
Dude, do you have any idea of what a pacer is in running? Google it and shut your mouth...
This Pace Maker actually competes in the 800 meter and he does pretty well. Won gold in IAAF world relay with his team.
About 200 meters out he pulled a Seinfeld. “I choose not to run!”
The race is on!

it's never about how you start but how you finish.
whatever point you are in life right now, keep pushing.

Did something similar in the mile. Too nervous/excited so I went out really strong, and I went through 400 in 56...This was a high school race btw. I pr'd for 800m by 1.5 seconds enroute in 1:58, and then the crowd thought I was going to attempt a sub 4 so they started freaking out. I then came through lap 3 in 3:18, and finished in 3rd at 4:48. After the race the other team's coaches looked at me with these shit eating grins and tried not to laugh at me.
damn that must've felt cool when the crowd started going crazy, not so nice though when your pace started dropping lol
For those of u who dont run. I ran a pr of 1:59 for the 800m and ran a 4:44 pr for the mile and my coach dropped me from the mile senior year cuz my 400m time was better 51 secs even tho the 400m and 800m are not suppose to be run cuz they r too close (aka no rest time). My 800m time is still much better than the 400m time as far as cif qualifications. This means that my 4:44 time was complete shit compared to my 1:59 (supposedly amazing) 800m cuz a 4:44 isnt even remotely close a cif qualification.
So if a person runs a 1:58 split and a 4:48 mile that is prob 10 times worse than this race shown here as far as pacing. But it prob means u could break 4:30 easily if the 1st half mile was 12 seconds slower.
Apparently this was the pace he was meant to do. Anyway to get that far with that pace as a pacemaker is impressive lol
Shame on them for needing a pacemaker in the first place. Absolute joke, I wish he'd won!

That is the 800 for you.
First 200: I’m killing it. This pace is easy!
Second 200: This is my day! Smooth as ice! Maybe I’ll speed up a bit!”
Third 200: I think I’m still good. Just need to increase the effort. Don’t panic.”
150 to go: “I made a big mistake. This sucks. But the finish line is right over there. I can take anything for a few more seconds.”
Final stretch; “I can’t move. Everyone is passing me. I hate my life. I hate myself. I hate this track. I want to move up to the marathon so this never happens again. Maybe I should just quit running entirely.”
I did this mistake once myself in sprinting in front of the pack right from the getgo.
I always behaved differently in training, but wanted to set a mark in a competition.
Ended up second last and you feel like shit, because you know you just fucked up.
underrated comment 😆
it's not like 49sec is unheard of for the first lap of an 800m at elite level. if anything you'd expect the winner to be far quicker than 1:46 usually
World record is 1:40. Definitely possible but these athletics are just taking it easy.
The pacemaker has potential to do well if he trained himself to sprint full 800m
seriously when Rudisha ran the WR in London 2012 his first lap was 49.5. I'm pretty sure also that they always ask pacemakers to run fast (no-one asks pacemakers to run a slow first lap) and it's the runner's job to keep up with them if they want.
I hate when the commentators think that the pacemaker has to always be right infront of the lead runner to be effective
stealthysmirth Actually... Rudisha's first lap was 49.2 in London. But this guy ran 49 the first lap! That's a Rudisha type of pace! Too fast!
@stealthysmirth i agree, this defo looked like a situation where a pace was asked for but then backed out of on the day. it happens pretty often in these events
say they asked for a 1:42-1:43 pace, the pacemaker would've been correct in going through in 49. bear in mind that the racers would then follow in around 50 or perhaps a very high 49 first lap. the finishing times would then come down to their endurance rather than a final sprint, as is the case with all of the fastest times ever
The fastest kid from year 6 when he first does a cross country be like:
this was a personal attack
@@Blazervitch didnt have to attack me like that 😅😅
Use all his NOS from the beginning, "Too Soon Junior".
The pacemaker is a TERRIFIC runner. He just set the pace too fast; but the runners are professionals, they didn't follow him.
They were forced to accelerate -sprint- too early to catch him so he impacted positively the race
Not terrific, he is very good, he is still not good enough to be a professional though...
His personal best on the 800m is 1:43.76, which beats the professionals.

It reminds me of that scene in FOREST GUMP
I've made this mistake before. Lesson learned.
Yeah I ran the 800m for the first time ever at school and pretty much sprinted the first lap and was way in the lead not really knowing what I was doing and got so tired and out of breath I couldn’t even finish the race, I learnt my lesson. I should have just done the 100m as I am quick oh well
I still respect the guy. Even if he does such a mistake and run for 1500 meters, I'd still not be able to catch him.
Two things scientists still don't understand:
1. Big Bang
2. TH-cam recommendations
😂😂 lol that's true..
If he slowed down from between the 400-600m, he could have actually won. He just went way too hard.
No hahah
No, you can't win a race when you sprint the first lap. He had already lost to much energy after the first 400 m.
that's not how races work it would be more probable for him to win if he went out less fast and had better exectution

All the top comments from people that think this is actually something to be embarrassed of when he just did his job and then chose to finish the race... there’s a reason hes a pacemaker and not an athlete in the field it’s because he obviously isn’t as good of a runner so he’s the pacer lol still great athletes though
Parents Good lord, at least someone that knows what a pacer's role is. These idiots think that the guy is a pro that wanted to win the race so badly that ran too fast for the distance...
He did his job terribly....
The race would have played out the same even if he wasn’t there. After 200 meters everyone realized they couldn’t keep with him and so he was useless to them. They need for him to be a couple feet ahead so they can try to stick with him and he can push their pace.
If the rabbit was say 5 yards ahead then the front runner would be able to push the pace by trying to stay with the rabbit. Everyone else would follow behind him and therefor the race would be faster.
However, here the front runner realized very early on that trying to stay with the rabbit was pointless. He was 25 yards ahead at least at 400. If the rabbit hadn’t sprinted the first 400 and done his job correctly then maybe everyone else would’ve been able to get faster times.
Jack Cottrell That's also true. The tactics were very bad. But most of the people commenting here don't even know what is a rabbit or pacemaker...
Nuno Fernandes True that
Why is he a pacemaker though when he could just be the better runner?
I'm faster when running from my girlfriend's dad

Actually that's not a bad idea! Why not have a mechanical pacemaker to set the pace. Who volunteers to be a pacemaker and intentionally loose a race?
I did this when I "ran" track for only 1 year in the 8th grade. It was the 400, and my first meet, so adrenaline was high. I basically sprinted the first 2 turns then completely ran out of gas. I was lucky to even cross the finish line at all. That sure was a fun day for the ego.
