I don't think they were asleep on him. They wasted their energy and focus on playing games but he didn't let it bother him and kept his focus on himself, just staying there. Over this distance and at the rate they run, it is surprising how much energy can be lost when not focused in on oneself.

In Australia the biggest killer to physical activity is humidity, not heat alone. I can work physically in hot dry conditions, but humidity saps my strength quickly. I live in the temperate zone in the South East where humidity rarely gets above about 60%. I did a trip for two months to Papua New Guinea in the winter of 1986. The mountains are about 9000 feet so the air is rarified to. It wasn't so hot, but the humidity was horrendous, making you verge on delirium all the time. It actually drives you a bit barmey. Give me dry heat any day, to humidity. You feel life you want to change your shirt every half hour. And once your clothes are soaking wet with sweat they stay that way, it just doesn't evaporate. At night your clothes are soaked and you have to put them on wet the next morning because they don't dry out overnight and are as cold as the night air.
Seriously, its insane how much the humidity can sap your strength. I've moved down south and even working outdoors i still dont really get physically tired that often (i work on a farm...) Its crazy how much stamina you can get just from living in somewhere hot n humid for so long.
Because Australia is a smaller population and an often overlooked competitor , they just seem to emerge from nowhere. Unexpected. Australians are the worlds quiet achievers . Good at stuff and satisfied with their contribution to our planet. 👍🏻. Nike named their logo after Australia 😉
About 20 years ago I was watching a South Korean race, while I was in Korea. The two easy peasy front runners were two powerful Africans - can't remember which country - but their ease of movement and their confidence was something really special to witness. It was a long race. All of a sudden, when the two Africans were striding smoothly along, even chatting with one another, some unknown dude came silently barreling over a hill. His pace picked up so fast that it was nearly heartstopping. He won. I believe he was either a Lithuanian runner, or an Estonian runner. After 20 years, hard to remember the details. So if someone knows, I would appreciate the memories.
Here in Canberra (capital of Australia) we didn't have any days above 35 last summer. Mostly in the 22-30 degree range and in winter it's downright cold with minimums of -5 or -6. Even when it is warm, humidity is low making it ideal for running most of the year.
Thanks for the laugh. One of the funniest running videos I've ever watched. The over exaggeration of how hot it is here in Australia and how unbearable it would be to train was hilarious.
Its not over exaggerated. Maybe you live in a cooler part of Australia like Tassie. There are quite a few athlete deaths every year in Australia from exertional heat stroke .
@@ian7033-qj9wg It's "winter" at the moment in Sydney, wouldn't want to run in this heat. It's 16.3 C but due to wind it feels like 6.7 C, so best to stay in the wind.
Yeah I don't think many Australian runners would think its too hot and decide to run in Africa. More likely they go to Africa so they can train with the amazing Ugandan runners...
There was a time in the early 1900's that running a mile in less than five minutes was earth shattering. Now they are do it mile after mile after mile.
Remember the potato Man he was born to run, along with many others, and he only trained in the land down under, many thanks for putting this out as we did a fair bit of this in the fifties just to keep fit 😊in Nth Qld and lots of people run up Castle Hill every day 😊 in Townsville Nth Qld Australia 🇦🇺 Cheers All ***"
A half marathon is just going to visit you next door neighbour in Australia, 6 largest country in the world with a population of approximately 25 million.
The temperatures in south east Australia are not as hot as stated for most of the year. Where I live the maximum temperatures in the last four days (July in Winter) have hovered between 4C to 8C ( 39F to 46F). It has never reached 40C here. I live west of Sydney at about 1000 metres elevation. Sometimes even snows in Winter. It's relatively comfortable for runners and walkers. I have no trouble hiking or walking up to 20 kilometres in a day for most of the year. There are some wonderful running or hiking trails in the Blue Mountains, where I live. Cheers everyone.
Australia is actually a lot hotter than New Zealand in the summer. Plus we have a lot of bush and forest trails in New Zealand that are still cool in summer. So it actually ok to train in New Zealand in the summer. If you avoid the middle of the day there are plenty of hours in the day where its comfortable.
Good work Jack, you got the big reward. Be sure that before tbe next race the Africans will visit their shaman to put a curse on you, because you took their moneyyyyy that the whole family was eagerly waiting for. Australia produces world class athletes, so does New Zeeland to. All the best to them for the Olympics!!!
"The Kenyon decided to put his foot down and show his whereabouts." LMAO --- Outstanding line. "Dowie running by himself in no man's land." Brilliant line again lol. "Test the pack, including the little Kenyan there in the middle." Bwha haha. This said, it was a compelling commentary and the result very pleasing for our fellow Aussie Rainer. Thanks for posting.

Never underestimate an Aussie. Tough as nails. Most races are run and won between the ears anyway. Ya got to be smart as well as fit. I ran 4.57 for the 1500m when I was 12 breaking and holding the western Australian district record for many years. I was the shorted guy to ever run that event so you had to be smart to beat the lanky legs
The 2018 Cardiff Half Marathon looked like an awesome event. Competition should be competitive. The Australian government invested in the Australian Institute of Sport back in the 1980s, which showed sizably improved outcomes over the next decade.
Still as a Ugandan 🇺🇬🇺🇬im proud of my runners for that formation they tried to keep what they trained with their coaches in mind. Which made them win the road for 3quaters of the race 😍😍it helped Jack Reynar keep up the pace
@@iankearns774 I'm Aussie born and grew up in England, so I take the moral high ground on either side when it suits me. Just read, thanks to you, a short history of how the mints were found to be great for ball shining. Isn't sledging an Aussie invention?
Anyone who goes to the Olympics in Paris this year. Do anything to get a ticket to see the Mens 10,000mtr event. These guys run in a pack for about 7,000mtrs and then they start to accelerate and try to break each others heart and the speed they run is the most awe inspiring of any of the Olympic events. The difference between this and the marathon is that being in the stadium you can really see the what these guys do. I saw Michael Johnson run a 400mtr Relay and it wasn't a patch on the 10,000mtr.
In Australia our children run their sports carnivals at school in those 40°C temps you're talking about. Kids don't get sent home from school until it hits 46°C. You think those kids grow up into adults and care about heat? Come on. "Just get on with it" is the aussie way. I think that's why we like Nike so much, their slogan sounds like something your parents told you on repeat as a kid.
Uganda & Australia have very very similar climates, the Aussie guy doesn't have their excellent genetics, but people regularly train in the same brutal heat.. We have ZERO altitude though, so that's a huge disadvantage...
I watched this from my lounge in Auckland, with my family,we were all yelling for him to stay with them,not only did he do that,he blitzed them, happy days?.
The Australian temperatures you talk of are more common to the inland deserts. Coastal temperatures are more moderate with a general trend to warmer in the north. Melbourne summers are typically varying 20 - 33 C over the whole day, with temperatures spiking to maybe 42-45 in the afternoon for a week or so at a time when inland desert air gets pushed southeast.
Jack made it to almost 10km, he merely felt cramps as early as 500m. His preparation was hampered (ie, he didn’t run for a month in the lead up) due to a stressy in his femur.
New Zealand summers are very cool compared to Australian summers, not even close. Watching people run like this blows my mind, it's such an incredible feat of human endurance and sheer will power.
That was a PB for Rayner, who had previously run the marathon in the Tokyo Olympics. The Ugandan configuration reminded me of Kipchoge's 1:59. Are you sure it was not a collaboration?
It all depends on where in Australia that you live, you make it sound like the second that the sun comes up we barricade ourselves inside or homes like vampires! 😂
