KENENISA BEKELE || MAKING A WORLD RECORD || THE MEN'S 5,000 METERS

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- Kenenisa Bekele is one of the greatest distance runners in history.
Currently, Bekele holds both the 5000 meter world record (12.37.35) and the 10000 meter world record (26:17.53) and he also holds the indoor 5000 meter world record in 12:49.60.
From 2003 to 2011, Bekele was undefeated over the 10,000 meter distance, with more Olympic and Championship wins that any other athlete.
Beyond his track and field accolades, Bekele has also won 12 world championships cross country medals, with 11 of those medals being golds.
In this video, we take a closer look at Kenenisa Bekele's running career, and we analyze exactly when and where he became a distance running legend.
It's unquestionable that Bekele is one of the best, and possibly the best, 5,000 meter runners in history, with very few people matching his speed, strength, and lasting legacy.
Thanks for watching everyone!

I am Kenyan who knows Kenenisa. I will forever miss him on the 5k and 10k. Running with a smile making it look easy! The greatest of all time.
A Kenyan calling him the greatest of all time, that’s good enough for me!
Kipchoge maybe the king of Marathons but Bekele is greatest of all time!
Bilal Hussain
Bekele was great but nowhere to be compared to Kipchoge. Kipchoge is the world BEST.
I think Bekele is one of the three greatest long distance runners. 42k Eliud Kipchoge, 5,000 and 10,000 meters Kenenisa Bekele, 1,500 to 2,000 meters Hicham El Guerrouj.
Don't forget Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia. and also check this chart to see who has more olympic gold in marathon
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathons_at_the_Olympics
him and haile gebreselassie are the greatest. had it not been for injuries bekele would have the marathon wr
@@jorgemaisonetmimomio8565 technically 1500 is a middle distance run
Wow. Now that’s a video. Bekele is a beast.
lol I can run 4 minute mile pace all the time only at 200 meter
@@hanphilnoffz8827 me too hoping to improve tho
Just earlier today, at the 2019 Berlin Marathon, KB missed the marathon world record by 2 seconds. Had he been 2-3 seconds faster he'd have been the first to EVER hold all three world records: 5K, 10K & Marathon simultaneously. (And he finished today looking like he could've gone those 3 seconds faster (easily). Wow. Unquestionably THE greatest distance runner of all time.
Pablo Novi i was just going to make this same comment. people say kipchogi is untouchable in the marathon, i beg to differ.
The greatest!
In Spanish we call Kenenisa Bekele.... “El Demonio del Tartán”. Definitely one of the greatest !
Best video on TH-cam about bekele
Absolutely
Thank you sir!
Kenenisa was the little dynamo. He was packed wth slow and fast twitching muscles. No one could beat him in speed and stamina
One of the greatest distance runner ever is the king Kenenisa Bekele and we Ethiopian proud of you.
thank you from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 🇪🇹🇪🇹
😍😍💕👍💪
Fuck
We Ethiopians are proud of you kenenisa Bekele...🇪🇹💚💛❤️

Name the song in the starting
Ya

@@jsnzn6551 ❤
I threw up in my mouth reading this man's weekly workout
Really??
Dude I was crying
This nigga trained for a marathon not a 5k!!!
😭🤣😂
Mr Bekele is thought full, logical, and above all a disciplined athlete. He always shows that with his eyemovement on cameras - shyness that will tell you there is something to come tomorrow. I belive he read the play book of the Roman Epire - he undestood that human heart is palable to failure out of reservations.
Note: I am his country man so may be biased.
Such a blessing to see him give God the Glory for his distancing start and after he win! Yea! Amen
Thank you so much for preparing Kenenisa Bekele's brief history!!!! He is my most favoured man from athletics world while Messi from soccer world!!!!
Bekeles one of my favorite runners, well done on the vid
This man was amazing. I am a sprinter so I don't know much about the distance runner's but in recent time my fiancé who is Ethiopian has told me about him. I'm so grateful for this outstanding video on him, well done. He's inspired me to compete again. His workouts were insane & it's no wonder he was so great. The thing I notice about him is his excellent sprint form as a distance runner & his absolute power in his legs. The man is special. Thank you so much for this video, absolutely astonishing.
I’m here after he missed the world record by 2 seconds what a beast
Our country Ethiopia is proud of him and Haile Gebresillase
Raul Grasso I was at that race and got a selfie with him after!
Raul Grasso he not missed world record by 2 second he is running as pace maker
if he was in the same situation as eluid, he would've broken the 2 hour mark
Bekele>kipchoge what can I say, he holds 3 records kipchoge holds 1, and bekele isn’t much slower than him at the marathon either 🤷♂️
KB was at his peak in 2008 and 2009, in spite of the lack of records. His performances in the Olympics and WC were masterpieces of dominance. Seriously, go watch those races. He surely could have broken his own records had he really wanted to.
For sure! 2004- 2009
Fantastic documentary. Thanks for making it.
Para mim, o atleta mais completo de todos os tempos!
Em seu auge, foi imbatível nas distâncias de 2km aos 10 km. O seu estilo de correr é único, seu sprint final é fantástico. Se não se lesionar, e acertar o rítimo pode facilmente superar o recorde mundial da maratona, sendo que já conseguiu o extraordinário tempo de 2.1,41.
Depois de décadas, só recentemente superaram suas marcas nos 5 km e 10 km, porém, sem o estilo e a chegada empolgante de Bekele.
What a beast is this man.
Great video by the way, excellent content.
always I am happy to see our country people face in diversity get together from around the planet ... i have love for human diversity ...
the best runner in the world I love him more
my absolutely favorite runner of all time, GREAT VIDEO!!
You are a legend man with this video well done 👌🏿
Wow so much effort put into video! Well done man, I love it! Keep doing it and you will get more subs I guarantee!
Got to love bekele.
The G.O.A.T. debate of Bekele vs Haile is a great conversation. But I think the true GOAT could have been Daniel Komen. Just not sure what happened to him.
he got Malaria which totally screwed his career plus his hard training has shown it´s signs on his body which slowed him significantley
KENENISA BEKELE. THE BEST EVER.
Kipchoge, Bekele The BEST EVER, what I would give to see them race OMG
What about Haile Gebrselassie
My top 5 runners of all time:
1) Kenenisa Bekele
2) Haile Gebrselassie
3) ELiud Kipchoge (If he breaks 2 hours he may move up to 2nd)
4) Mo Farah
5) Paul Tergat
@@jamesharrod7579 sub 2 hour is not official. No way kipchoge is better than Haile
this guy is a beast, but his training plan is simply too hard on his body to not sustain injury as he gets older and moves to roads. It is still a great plan for the track and 5-10km distance
this is why eliud kipchoge is so great, his training is never too fast, always below 90% of his max.
yeah i always think eliud kipchoge is so fit. how many eliud kipchoges does it take to screw in a lightbulb? only 1 because hes so fit
Shonoob you don’t need to be fit to screw in a lightbulb
@@Marco-yz3hs are u saying eliud kipchoge isnt fit?
Shonoob no but saying he can screw in a lightbulb on his own doesn’t prove that he is fit
Marco Lopez-Smith ya but u can be super fit and still screw in a lightbulb
My fav runner
Bekele running his final mile at 3:58 in a 5k makes me wonder if he could have set the 2 mile record 🤔
He had the 2 mile world record before Mo Farrah broke it
Jaymes Cole Farrah has the indoor?
@@bijohn333 Thank you, I wasn't aware of this. I was referring to Daniel Komen's outdoor record of 7:58, but I wasn't clear enough. I feel like Bekele would have been able to run sub 8 in his prime. If he didn't break the record, he could have at least joined Komen as the only two people who have broken 8.
@@josephkennedy1954 yes
joseph kennedy yep. He ran 8'03" a couple years ago in Birmingham I believe
I need to start training harder after watching this bumping up volume and intensity
The greatest athlet ever
Great job my brother! As a huge Track and Field fan I'm glad we found one another.
Your videos are outstanding! Keep up the excellent work!
Fantastic video of the great legend
You are a great historian and student of the sport. Thank you for making these videos, you are preserving the stories of some of the greatest athletes of all time. This is fantastic work and will remind us of our running legends long into the future!
Thank you so much for this! Happy birthday Kenenisa!
Bob Beamon
Thank you!! Huhu
By far, This is the best Channel focussing on Running.
Great video as always. At his peak this man was a beast. That’s why every time I saw him On the starting line as a Kenyan I would start cursing under his breath. Just watch the 2007 World cross in Mombasa when Bekele pulled out of the race mid way... we, Kenyans, celebrated as if we had already won the race... 👏👏👏 great video man
Great video, You put a lot of work into this! Thanks!
Very great Video one of the best Bekele analysis I have seen. This man is underrated he deserves so much recognition after what he has done for running world It’s beyond world to me how people can’t see that he is the great distance runner ever. Not only in Running, he is one Greatest sportsman of 21 century!
Why underrated? His is king. Bolt×10= Bekele
@@RedDiamondXYZ he is underrated
Great mini-documentary on this legend! Well done mate, keep up the good work!
Ricardo Galiano Thank you sir! Bekele is one of my favorite athletes of all time. Thanks for watching!
I've looked up to this guy for a long time now. One of my sports heroes.
Did you watch his Marathon in Berlin few days ago?
Bekele and kipchoge at 2020 Berlin marathon. One to watch. Potential first sub 2 hr. Official Marathon.
Talk about a comeback for a 2:01:41 marathon after it looked like he was done.
Good luck to Bekele in 2020
Berlin marathon 2021!❤
I am from somalia i am mo farah fan but this guy is beast much respect to him and his family
TRP: the absolute best T&F content on any platform.
Thanks for this video! From a Bekele fan
Great Documentary on the greatest distance runner. 👌🏽👊🏼
What about Haile Gebrselassie
Stephen Strange he is Also one of the greatest the father figure
Teshla waldemariam Kipchoge?
This is the best running video I ( everyone in the office after 3:30 pm) have ever seen as an Epidemiologist!!! Awesome video, glad to see you're living the dream! GAEIP misses you!!!-- yup, even Emily.
Yo this vid was so good. Keep making more like it
Brilliant performer, brilliant documentary.
UNBELIEVABLE! INCREDIBLE! I am experiencing new AND renewed admiration for Kenenisa Bekele. Thank you for this bio on his art form of racing/training and his strife during it all. Questions: Do you think that his challenges made him a greater runner? And, is he a single man (unmarried) and doesn't have any distraction in his training? Also, does he have a trainer or a team that works with his training?
I echo one of the other comments by saying: I threw up in my mouth just looking at the training schedule!
All Ethiopia God bless u kenenis bekele our hero long life God bless u 😍😍
This is the best video you’ve made man! I loved it
Good job and thanks for the advertising our hero Bekelle
Just the GOAT: nothing less
Another great vid
He is the GOAT of long distance running. Only Gebreselasie gets close.
Indeed Kenenisa was beast! My all time favorite runner.
Kenenis is a lion of Ethiopia
Simply wow! Always makes me smile and proud to see his dominance and committed runs.
I remember watching our runners on tv and feeling so patriotic, our runners are the best and our gov should really step up their game and find pure talents like Kenenisa and Tirunesh otherwise we will be forgotten and their hard work will go down to waste.
💚🇪🇹❤
He is a legend❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic video. This shows all his achievements and just how good he was. His world records may never be broken.
Excellent documenting TRP. 👌
Www god bless bekele best. Abba gadaa lijoch.l love Ethiopian
wawu bekele is the best in the world athletic champions I love you so much bekele more than all runner. so I am thinking all competition time when you back in the track run please come I miss you
It’s amazing that even 15+ years back, Bekele could kick a final mile in a 5K or 10K in comfortably under 4 minutes while until the fifties, people wondered if a 4-minute mile was humanly possible.
Bekele is one the greatest of all time, I really love him.
Greatest distance runner hands down
Thank you for your video!! I enjoyed every second of it!!!
I run about 70km per week...this guy does 210km a week I'm like bruh u run 3x more than I do...guess that's the difference between arguably the greatest runner ever and a still developing runner lol
Keep going 💜
Truly speaking, most runners who are leading normal lives outside of professional athletics, would simply not have the time and/or resources to train this mileage and also take the neccessary steps for recovery. Bekele is a pro athlete. While I respect his performances a great deal, he is also acheiving them as a person whos only concern is training, sleeping and eating. He isnt running 130 miles per week while also worrying about making his shift at Walmart the next day , or trying to cover food expenses for expending an extra 13,000 calories per week on a minimum wage budget.
This man is equal to 10 Bolts..
steady on there laddy
Thanks for your great sport journalism !.
Proud to call myself Ethiopian where dozens of Gold medalists were born and raised. Its well known now that Ethiopians are the fastest long distance runners and its been that way since 1970s, 50+ years in a row and it will probably stay this way for centuries to come. God bless Ethiopia and her beautiful people. The only African country that has NEVER been colonized. Been kicking the europeans butts on the battlefield and the tracks. Thats Ethiopia!!! 🦁🦍🕊️
Happy birthday Kenenisa Bekele
Kenenisa is the king of track
Watching these videos while I am writing my graduation thesis paper. Keninisa Bekele is undefeated and I hate to see people here comparing him to Kipchoge. Kenenisa runs with passion and love.
130 miles a week is crazy, especially at the intensity in which he runs at. Makes me pumped to train.
My birthday is on June 15, I found out my friends birthday is on June 13 and I got jealous because it's on Bekele's birthday haha.
June 13th is my birthday!
Billy Bussey Studios Cool to hear haha! Hope you have a good one!
Krypto Happy early birthday to you both! Hope you both run a 12:37 for the 5k!
@@TotalRunningProductions Haha thank you! 12:37 would be too much to ask for, I would be happy with anything under 14. I am a 13 year old that averages my 5Ks at around 19 minutes. Hoping to achieve an elite level in the future. Thanks for the response too! Your content is very informal and never gets boring to watch.
ofcccc this video get's uploaded when i'm about to do my homework
Naughty Nati lol
Happy Birthday, Bekele!
10:10 Maybe that insane training while running track took its toll on his body hampering him with injuries when he moved to the road. His marathon training had the same mileage or even slightly less at around 110-120 mi/week (whereas Kichoge supposedly runs like 160 mi/week).
So wish this GOAT ran the Tokyo’21 Olympics marathon before retiring.
Kenenisa the goat
Our national pride! The face of our country; great love and respect!
Bekele is king of long race
And Kenenisa Bekele will go on to be the World’s Men Marathon record holder one day with due respect for Kipchoge. I have great respect for both of them but Kenenisa Bekele is of another league.
Very brave thing to say. Lets not get ahead of ourselves. One good race does not mean more good ones. Hes already consistent. With that said, i would love to see those two head to head on a good day
still, we will expect a marathon record from Kenenisa than Kipchoge.
without the help of a Nike project, Bekele was miss only for 2 seconds to break the marathon record. his 5k, 10k record will never break
Bekele the king of 5 and 10K 💚💛❤️
Man literally eats 60 sec lap after lap for breakfast lunch and dinner in 5ks and 10ks
Great analysis. Thank you!!
Kenenisa is The most fastest distance athelet ever. You can his last lap, no athelet did before and probabily will not do in the future.
G.O.A.T !
Simply the greatest distance runner in history and Usain Bolt the greatest sprinter of all time, both legends.
My absolutely favorite runner of all time. And excellent video
you did a good job.
Holy shit!!! This guy ran a little over 6 miles in 26 minutes😮😮😮😮😮!!!! The slowest 5k I’ve ever seen was a 31 minute!!
No doubts, GOAT.
What about Haile Gebrselassie
@@stephenstrange4512 Haile comes second for sure. Bekele improved Haile's world records, won both golds at the olympics and is the most successful cross country runner as well.
Great video well put together. 👍👍👍
I call him extraordinary 🦁.
