Imagine running a 3:57 mile and being like, "Damn I got last."
These guys are unbelievably fast.
Lol
@SETH BAKER I spend a lot of time on TH-cam. 😂
That was good.
this comment made my day
Last place went 4:08 but i get your point
He doesn’t even looked gassed. Feel like he could have turned it on earlier. **licks Dorito dust from fingers**
@@difficultbasicfacts there's a reason you're the only one trying to correct him after 8 days. everyone else got the joke.
@@DanLikely we know its a joke so does he, he’s just explaining
@@difficultbasicfacts thanks for the info
@@difficultbasicfacts yeah thanks for the info brad
That's what's interesting, it's more of a skill thing than a conditioning thing. At least more than people think. Once you get used to the distance the conditioning of all of the athletes is pretty similar. At that point its more about stride length, pacing, step count, contact time, etc.
Things i never got right in high school. I was just focused on "being tuff" and "pushing harder" when a good run is relaxed and skilled.
I ran a 5:04 once and was on the ground seeing stars with tunnel vision for about 3 minutes. I can't imagine running a 3:48 and just casually celebrating with everyone with a smile like you just jogged out to check the mail.
My PR was 4:44 and I felt the same. My legs were complete jello for 3-4 hours after. It's insane
Haha I feel you man, 5:07 was my PR and even though I didn't place, it felt amazing to do. These dudes are FREAKS
@@DrMantisToboggan69 Isn't it the worst being so close to have broken 5 minutes?! I remember finishing that last race of my senior year of high school and thinking, "seriously?! 1 second per lap kept me from doing it!" 😭 That was 20 years ago this year. 45 lbs later and pushing 40, I'd be pumped to break 7 minutes now! 😂
@@JoeMac1983 lol I hate how much I relate to literally everything you said there man
@@DrMantisToboggan69 😂 I was in great shape until I was 33. Weighed 165-170 and still logged 30-50 miles a week. Then I had my second kid and he's a handful. After that, I put running on the back burner and I gained 5 stubborn lbs per year and I'm almost 190 now and getting inner thigh chafing when I run 😭😭😭😂😂😂 No matter what I do, I can't lose the weight! I'm trying to embrace the new me that likes eating more than exercise at this point. Throwing in the towel lol
In my best shape ever I ran a 4:56 and felt like an absolute machine....this is on another level
Best I ever got was 5:12.
I hated not getting that sub 5.
But this was in high school PE class where we had to run three days a week and I had never really run before.
I think if I had been on the track team I could’ve easily gotten to the sub five.
Im a big guy...at 220 lbs. I could run a 6:30 one mile after 9 months in basic training and AIT...these guys are unbeliveably fast.
These athletes are on another level. What’s even crazier to me is that Kipchoge’s record Marathon in Berlin was ran at an average pace of 4:38 minutes per mile, for 26.2 MILES. A century ago, top runners were pushing hard to even run that for a mile, it’s absolutely insane.
4:26 for me, good for 5th place at state.
4:27 for me. Didn't make it out of the district! 40 years ago!
In high school I started doing 15 minutes for a mile. 😪 I kept working at it, losing weight and all, and got down to 9:45. I was very proud of myself. 💪
Your mile improvement is greater than anyone's 🤣
That alone is impressive 👌
Lol same it’s pretty fun starting out bad then shaving so much time so fast
lol same i started middle school with a 13 min and now at 9:15
@@anirudhnaveen2721 awesome man!
Insane running. My PB is 5:39, if I run a 36 second 200 in training I think I'm flying and Kerr is out there putting in 28 second 200s towards the end of a mile.
Shut uo
Massive run from a massive dude! I’m always amazed at how a big dude could fly like that.
Boss Hoss!
longer legs=longer strides
Mile is the perfect range for them. They got strong, long legs so they’re using less energy for the distance which means they can push even harder.
@@GuacSause that’s wrong. Longer legs require more energy to take longer strides and more muscle fibres to ‘propel’ each step forwards. He is just physically strong with a large lung capacity
VO2MAX
They all ran it in 4 minutes 👀. Even last place is crazy good.
Waleed Suliman (aka "the Rabbit") did not finish.
11th place did it in 4:08 and 12th place didn't finish...
Not really last place is basically don't come back unless you try harder
I can do a 6 minute mile and I’m so proud of that. I can’t imagine doing this. I would die.
My goal right now is to run a sub 10 minute mile lol AKA to have the endurance to run a mile straight through.
Same barely sub 6 for me. Lol. But I am 40 and have a full time office job so....
@@Me-wk7dz You will!! Baby steps! Start off with shorter distances and gradually build up. It's all psychological - trust me.
@@huskerfootball42 Office jobs suck the life out of you I swear lol. Gotta pay the bills somehow though!
My best is 6:03 but I can actually do this time as well
Takes me a minute in my car doing 60, it’s all about efficiency
It takes me 19 seconds to do a mile on my motorcycle
golden comment lol
After 39 years Eamon Coghlan's European Record of 3.49.78 which was also a world record at the time has been broken.Well done to Josh Kerr and what a record to last 39 yrs .
I was there at the Millrose Games when Eamon did it on a wooden track which is much slower. Congrats to you Josh. I wish the camera man/editor would have shown the message on your shoe. You earned that.
@@NotoriousBOB Oh fantastic to be there. ,would have love to see him race,what a race and the commentary somehow the camara work and the commentators seem to have got worse over the years lol..So its the actual wood thats slower to run on not just the shorter tracks?.Interestingly I saw a video of Steve Prefontaine and Eamon in the same race .
Josh Kerr might have given Eamon Coghlan a run for his money but I'll bet Josh would lose to Eamon if both ran on the old wooden track together.
@@MrChetanG i think what I loved watching Eamon Coghlan for was the way he finished races .He waited til the last lap or maybe 2 laps before securing the race by passing on the last straight .It was a hair raising way to win races by leaving it to the very last to win.Great for the spectator
@@LEAVEtheLIGHTon Coghlan's kick was infamous. He was feared!
I discovered the 'Irish' connection running Penn Relays in H.S. as they dominated the Distance Medlay, 2 mile and 4 mile relay.
Running against them in University gave all of us an upper limit that was scary good to compete against.
Back in those days there were only a couple tartan 220 indoor tracks. (Naval Academy to name one.)
They were flat as well.
There is no doubt in my mind that Josh would have a very hard time beating Coghlan if they ran together during the indoor seasons of 80's on the 11 lap wooden indoor tracks of the day.
This isn't old guy stands up for his boomer ways, it's about who really is fastest considering all things.
I ran an 18:45 3 mile in the Marines. Thought I was fast until a fellow recruit at Parris Island ran a 14:45 3 mile.
Most of the field ran a mile in less than four minutes, incredible. What is this track made of, conveyor belts?
No I believe its a synthetic composite
It sounds super fast, and it is, but this meet was for elite atheletes. Just to put it into perspective, the first high schooler to run under 4 minutes was in 1964. So if high schoolers can run that time 60 years ago it's probably nothing for a top athlete.
@@alexandermilentis2130 this discussion is about what the track is made of. Good Effort thinks the track is made of conveyor belts. I am not entirely sure that it is. Your thoughts?
That track is probably the fastest I’ve ever run on. Everyone PR’d on that track, it’s not just the material, there’s something about the bank that is perfect, particularly for mid distance races
@@michael21901 agreed
The pacer was amazing to keep cheering and coaching!!
Saw that too, great teamwork.
Do you know why he stops running in the race mid way? I never understand why
@@henrygrijalva6849 That’s what pacers do.
@@henrygrijalva6849 they carry the runner through record pace then drop out making it as easy for that runner tell that point. Why does he drop out? I mean if he could finish the race in that time then he would set the record right? 😂
waleed suliman is a legend
Crazy I ran a 4:46 in a meet and I felt like I was going to die, took me more than a minute to talk in a full sentence and walk around. This dude running around all energetic after the race lol
EPO
That’s my pr too!
Out of curiosity, how old are you lol
Do you think it’s a difference in amount of training? Genetics? Bit of both?
My pr is also 4:46 nyc armory and i was just at full sprint i felt like
HOLY COW!! He just kept getting faster each lap!!! So will he set the world record when he gets to the outdoor track?? Mind blown.
Amazing, at least five runners broke the 3:55 mark. Wow!
I did a 7 minute mile 2 days ago and I was so proud of myself
It aint slow good job dude
Amazing run from Josh! It’s awesome to see someone who doesn’t have the “traditional” build running these times. The average height of these elites is like 5’7 and 120-130 lbs. max. That’s why guys like Galen always looked so tall on the world stage even though he’s only 5’11. I’m 6’1 and 155 lbs when in race shape and you just don’t see too many taller, thicker guys running elite times. This is all relative as I’m clearly still on the small side compared to society as a whole
The avg build for a mid distance runner is tall and between skronny and a little thicker. The 5’7 120-130 Ibs that you said is like 10k or higher guys. True distance runners are skinny and small, he is perfect for these mid distance events!
Most world class 1500 runners a 6+ foot
@@nd3591 greatest mid distance runners in history? El G was 5’7 and 125 lbs. Bernard lagat? Right around the same. Morceli? About the same. Kiplagat? About the same. Iguider? About the same. You see the trend here? Yes, there are taller, “thicker” guys like Jakob, Josh, Cheryiot, that are excelling right now but the fastest of all time, even in this middle distance event, are still in that frame of build. The 800m down is a different story
@@jackwakefield05 see my reply to the other guy
@@jazzyjay4595 You could say something similar about sprinting yet the greatest sprinter arguably is 6 ft 5.
Kiprop, 3rd fastest 1500m of all time is 6 ft 2
Noah Ngeny, 6th fastest of all time is 6ft
Katir, 10th fastest all time is 6 ft
Manangoi, 12th fastest all time is 6ft
Looks like hes running on a moving walkway at the airport, incredible 🏃
Wow he cranked that last 800 and he looked GOOD too
What were the splits here,,,,1:56 /first 880y1:52=2nd880y !!!!!!! THAT IS INCREDIBLE SERIOUSLY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! STRENGTH IN ABUNDANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Josh's training must be PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@simonedwards5564 He reminds me of a combination of John Walker and Steve Cram, a couple of other fast big dudes.
@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON THE NAIL!!!!!! Josh has got John walkers barrel chest and Steve crams long legs and bravery to take it on with a half mile still to run!!!!!!! Is this young man going to take crams UK mile record,,,,,,, after 37 years??? HE IS SET,,,,,,
I love the sportsmanship hug at the end
I ran a 4:56 yesterday at an invitational as a sophmore and was completely shot afterwards. The fact that he can do that and just walk it off like nothing blows my mind.
I ran a 10minute 2mile. just before enlisting in the military back in 1981 ... I never was on the track team in high school but was on the swim team.
These guys didn't even look that stressed by their pace... Outstanding.
I remember in high-school I ran a sub 6 minute mile and thought I was fast... this is absolutely insane
My son is a junior and ran 5:09 last week (outdoor track). That was only good for 5th place. Winning time was 4:42 and I think that kid was on cruise control the last 200 meters
Yup me too. Ran a 5:55 and felt like a rocket lol.
That was my PR too 5:35. Make no mistake it is still fast just not nearly superhuman like this is
My PB was a 4:50 in Highschool. I was pretty proud of myself until I realized I was tied for 5th on my team.
My fastest mile was I believe 4 Minutes 58 Seconds in highschool.... Gasping for air!! I was 2nd to the slowest in our team =)) lol
With my fastest 3-mil being 20minutes and I think 58, 56, 48 or 46 seconds while in the Marines Bootcamp... so long ago (Which sucks because I could've went faster, all went down hill after that timestamp aha).
Our fastest sprinter in highschool was running Women's olymic records 1miles with ease without breaking a sweat. Thinking back, I'm sure he could've went pro. He'd come with us to eat junk food and won a bet that he could do a 5min 1 mile while full... fucking beast. Not to mention he always won every 100-meter dash meets. Forgot his time though.
An average of 15.79 miles per hour for 3 minutes and 48 seconds !
Crazy to think there are humans like kipchoge out there running 4:40 miles for an entire marathon…
That's a sprint for me.
That's crazy fast! I was able to to go from 15 min miles down to 6 min miles with a few months of training at the age of 34 and was able to do 3 miles non stop
Now - that was an impressive negative split by Josh Kerr. 1:56 & 1:52.9!
1940's: "A mile in under 4 minutes? IMPOSSIBLE!"
2020's: "A mile in over 4 minutes? You'll never make it kid!"
True but to be fair they were probably smoking cigarettes during the race and hydrating with booze
0.4 sec behind El Gerrouj. Wow!
to have run this time at all, is bonkers, and then do it indoors is wild. Indoor races are just so different and the track runs differently as well, amazing and congrats to all of these sub-4 runners
Ah this stuff gives me goosebumps now that's picking them up and putting them down !💯💣💥👍
Incredible front running, well done Josh
i always watch races like this in awe of how steady and even their stride is- head barely moves
Absolutely unreal pace...hats off!
I think Josh Kerr was trying to prove that he cannot be “OUTCLASSED” by anyone! I wonder what Oliver Hoare is thinking now!! Kerr ran that race on his own so he probably can run faster! That race was a statement by Kerr that Jakob Ingebrigsten will have a strong challenger for the gold medal at the 2022 World Championships!
Kerr still got outclassed at Millrose.
Josh is very good at key times of the season, he will be at peak shape for worlds for sure
Nice run. But Ingebritsen will toy with him, then flatten him.
With all these records being smashed this indoor, Eugene is primed to be an amazing stage for the WCs this summer.
Just wait until Jakob reads what you wrote. 👀
4:50 what an amazing teammate.
Crazy, my PR was 4.47 in Highschool, an entire minute slower and it felt incredibly fast to me
Insane….that’s a whole different level of conditioning
unbelieveably strong run. amazing.
Wow...that was seriously impressive. Indoors or outdoors that is a very fast time. Kerr was just 50cms behind Cheruiyot in Tokyo but let's hope he will be in front in the world's this year. I don't see anyone beating Jakob but who knows for sure?
On any given day... the 1500 is a fickle mistress!
@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 Agreed.... but so is every event at the major champs.
@@david2804me You obviously have never heard of Ryan Crouser, Karsten Warholm, Elaine T-H, Sifan Hassan, Mondo Duplantis or Eliud Kipchoge lol
@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 i think you must be replying to someone else’s comment. You might want to delete this and start again otherwise some, including me, will think you’re bonkers haha.
@@david2804me Just pointing out facts. Some events are dominated by stars. Not since Herb Elliott/Peter Snell in 1960s has that applied to the 1500. Even El G had his struggles. Jakob hasn't got there yet.
When you look at the very short list of sub 3:50 indoor milers, you have to take into account the fact that Coghlan's 1983 race was run on a tiny 10 lap track. NEVER been an indoor miler to compare with the chairman of the boards.
And Coghlan didn't have magic shoes with carbon springs.
@@ColeMichael2027 yeah shoe technology has pushed the sport to new levels, pretty cool stuff
What’s amazing is that this man ran a sub 4 minute mile and looked like it was a casual jog the entire time.
World champion 👍🇬🇧
I felt like I was flying when I got a sub 6 minute mile. Now my big ass is happy when I hit 8 minute miles.
A+ Race, F for camera work and production.
I almost caught a glimpse of the rest of the field at the end.
I'd ask for your money back.
Absolute badass, well done Josh🤟
4:20 "he is on FIRE"
Josh's lungs: why yes, yes we are
Wow fantastic run Josh 🏃♂️
I ran a 5:10 once, goofing around doing timed miles as part of our high school cross-country practice. That was 40 years ago. I wish I had actually done one on a track at my very best. I'm sure somewhere in the upper 4's would have been all of it, though. These guys are several more notches up the ladders. Makes my lungs burn just watching them.
Absolutely brutal pace. Fantastic
As a runner from 1987 I can so RESPECT this accomplishment
5:55 in high school at 205 pounds. My body hurt and couldn't walk properly for two days. These guys are moving. I wonder what their body fat percentages read that day.
Sub 6 @ 205 is seriously impressive well done
@@patrickponce4838 Chugging that much weight sucked.
Like Patrick said, sub 6 is very impressive, actually regardless of your weight but especially at 205
My most recent time was 6:03 at around 215lbs and that is definitely pushing it for my size.
Fastest shoe salesman on earth!
Brought tears to my eyes
That's pretty crazy. Lots of praise to these guys... they are ALL incredibly fast. I ran track and CC when I was young. My best mile was 4:54 and no one in several counties could beat me. I never ran on a track like that though... looks like a Nascar track LOL. I'm barely a genius and my knowledge tells me having a track like that vs a FLAT track, there is clearly an advantage. I remember FLYING around the corners and feeling my feet wanting to slide sideways out of my shoes and they were on TIGHT.
3:48 is the 7th fastest in that track’s history. There are 10 men who have run outdoor events in the one mile run under 3:48.
Thanks for clarifying that.
To be clear, this time was the 3rd fastest indoor mile time, ever. It sits behind Yomif Kejelcha @ 3:47.01, and Hicham El Guerrouj @ 3:48.45. Combining indoor and outdoor, this is still a half second out of cracking the top 25.
As a noob to the sport are u saying it's harder to run inside compared to outside? What's the sports science to that and do different tracks affect times
@@williamthompsoniv1879 Ive never ran on an indoor track, but I'm going to assume it's because of the sharper turns. Different tracks don't change anything besides different length ones
@@williamthompsoniv1879 Turns are a fraction slower than straights. And the tighter the turn, the more difficult to maintain constant speed. Indoor tracks are typically 200m, so equivalent distances have double the turns of outdoor, and those turns are so tight, they bank the track. Combined more & tighter turns will cause record times to be slower than equivalent distances outdoors.
Good race Josh, sure you'll be running faster. Exciting, way to go. Keep it up 👍🏾😀
Well done!!! from South Africa.
If anyone is wondering what kind of shoe he kept pointing at, it was the Sketchers AirPillow Walk-a-Bouts. $29.97 at Walmart
Watch him after the finish. Even he knows it's all about the shoes.
Wow! In my 50s, I used to run 5K races outdoors in the FL heat & humidity and break 5:30 for my first mile, and then question how I'd ever finish the race.
I was ecstatic when I passed the 6 minute mark, this guy's on a whole other level
Ran my best ever 4:33 in high school.…..thought it was cool till I see i would’ve been over half a minute away from LAST PLACE sheesh
Looked like he was breathing easily after the race; not in any obvious great pain or discomfort.
Brilliant run Josh. VERY well done and augurs well for major championships later this year. Congratulations.
He averaged running a quarter mile in 52.5 seconds!! NUTS!! And, like Secretariat, he was increasing his speed each lap.
This is nuts. I ran a 4:55 in high school. Was a smoker and I didn’t train. But these guys are just insane!!!!!
Shoutout to cam proceviat for breaking the Canadian indoor mile record!
Imagine if he had good pacing throughout 1200m
When i met Josh at University of New Mexico, he told me he ran around 80 miles a week! HE'S INSANE AND I LOVE IT
Distance runners are a whole different breed of dedication and crazy. Astounding to watch this stuff.
That sounds about right lol. I knew kids in high school who ran 60ish miles a week running under 4:20 for the mile
He made it look easy and what’s crazy he was racing himself nobody there on his heels pushing him like centrowitz or hocker
Awesome display of controlled running
In a class of his own.
I'd say more like a class of his own and maybe like 6 or 7 other people lol
Doping more than others
Great run. Brutal camerawork.
Not me clicking all the people’s PRs thinking they’re time stamps
I watched a guy run a 3:59 mile in high school and he beat the next guy by over half a lap. It was wild
I wonder if with a more aggressive first 800 and a pacer all the way to 1200, if he could have gotten the world record.
That’s almost 2 seconds…but maybe.
Just wait till outdoors someone’s gonna take it down sooner or later
aren't the reported splits at the finish line? So, actual 880 was more like 1:55.8, no
Wow! That was fast!
They aren’t even running fast it’s the form and their breathing the stride is perfection ..
Great job Josh and the pacers
The World of Track and Field is changing. People are getting faster as a whole and closing in on these times.
The athlete and technology is finally reaching the level of the age of doping. Those late 90’s to early 2000’s were insane. The amount of world records that happened and then STAYED for a long time is wild. Glad to see clean athletes finally catching up to those records
@@jazzyjay4595 definitely all clean😳

(My personal fastest...
I never came close since)
I literally thought I was going to DIE afterwards. these guys are machines!!
My fastest 800m was 2:01 and this guy not only ran faster than me the first time, but he got FASTER as the race went on. Holy shit.
As someone who went 4:35 in high school 10 years ago. I thought I was in top of the world. This is absolute insanity
4:35 is still incredibly good though, I mean these are the best athletes, they train for years to achieve this and are the best of the best....
It's amazing that announcers have no idea that it's a British record in 1st and a Canadian record in 2nd.
To be fair they sounded like little local guys whose knowledge of the sport was modest...they did ok.
No one cares
Not just British, a European record.

So fast the cameraman couldn’t keep up 😆
Stout fellow. Even had the state of mind to try to catch the leaking roof drips after the race.
"stout fellow" and firm of fetlock LOL

They make it look so easy. Incredible.
The craziest part to me is how they make 15 MPH look like a jog
That's exactly what I was thinking. They make it look so easy. Like I know that, based on the time, it's unimaginably fast, but watching them I can't help but think... I mean, it's only 4 minutes, right?? I could do that!
*16
My best time was 4:34 and when I got to the finish line, I couldn't walk. Meanwhile this dude is ready for another 800m same pace.
In that race about 10 years ago the first place was 4:27, I got third. The last person here did 4:06.84.

It's incredible how times have changed so significantly over time. Good job man, even if people have since gotten much faster your times are still incredible.
@@Triisttan thank you so much! Have a good day or evening my friend
Hey your time is the same time as my best friends !!!!! Y’all Are crazy fast , here I am and my 5:45 mile🤣🤣🤣
On my senior year in high school the fastest mile I ever did was 5:45 which was the third fastest in school history( the others were 5:30 and 5:25) my cooper mile was 11:48 fastest. These guys right here are just out of this world.
I'm watching this....still finding it hard to believe. Wow.
Great race. But . . . FloTrack, a pro tripod with fluid head is in the $3k-4K range. Can't you afford one?
It is hard to run on a track at that speed, those turns feel really tight...
Absolutely INSANE
