- Race Video and interview of Alan Webb going after the American Mile record that had been held by Steve Scott (3:47.69). Alan Webb breaks the American Record with 3:46.91. Alan Webb broke the American Mile record on July 21, 2007 in Brasschaat, Belgium. Webb had the #1 mile time in the world in 2007.

The Video is not Accurate Timing because of mixed camera angles.
I love how everyone's like "my mile time is 5:30 I should really start training" and I'm just here with a 9 minute mile
lol , same , but once I started track my mile time became 7:29 (:
I cheered on a friend to run his lifetime PB of a sub 7 minute mile. It was incredible!
they should mostly be lying... The top 10 in our district got 5:30 and less. I have a 6:03 mile btw, got it today
+d yiy ek r top 8 in my district was sub 5, JR high level
Nathan Thornton the fastest middle schooler ran a 4:16 mile, I checked
Remember when sub four minutes was thought impossible ...
+Patriot Samurai, he's referring to the planend out splits that the pacers were supposed to be at, not their speed at the time, lol.
oh yeah throwback because I can remember the 1950's... boi people have had sub 4 for a long time
To think back, yes😂
Thats why breaking2 is very realistic.
Jesus loves you guys, let me know if you have any questions about God Benny
my best mile was in 10th grade, i swear it was a sub 4 but the cop said otherwise..
lel
Laugh A lot wow
HAHA
the cop oh my lol
You run fast by the cops 👮
i got to run against this dude at the state meet when i was a senior, lets just say he was a freshmen and won and i didn't come close. Followed him my entire adult life, super proud of this guy.
Awesome
You have the best conversation starter with runners.
Anything under 5:00 is wicked fast for us mere mortals. Sub 4:00 is only for the elite super-athlete.
fewer than 1500 people have ever run sub 4mins since 1954
Zoe TheCat sub 5 is an average high school runner lol
Prabh Dhillon that's a really good time most juniors run
I'd say 6 min is closer to HS average.
But I'm not one to talk lmao
Grace median mile juniors seniors in california is right around 5:00 flat
“AMERICA HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS”
*10 people cheer in the audience*
I was waiting for 25 years. I did a few other things in the meantime, but mostly, I just waited.
They’re in Belgium for this meet
I m still waiting for the top american to beat a run of the mill Kenyan !!
I ran a mile last night just over 7 minutes, but I also weigh two Alan Webb's - so by default I should have the American record !
True true
Ah, yes. Two metric Alans.
The imperial system is getting out of hand
2 seconds per pound per mile, you got him champ
LMFAO world record holder in the UA-cam comments
People just can't appreciate what they're witnessing & what it takes to achieve it. This video should have 10 million views minimum.
Joe Blow This video shouldn't have anything. The american record is worthless. This guy would get destroyed by the kenya legion. Also, props to the worst fucking commentator in the history of broadcasting.
Gold Roger Really?? Name this "legion" of Kenyans who have run sub 3:46.9 for one mile. Only a handful of people in the world can do that. And the commentator is just a guy in the crowd not a professional commentator, but then again,....I think you knew that.
Joe Blow Well, to be fair, I think my lack of interest for this record is probably due to the fact that I am not american, I am canadian, thus I don't really care for american records. I agree this race is still impressive, however I enjoy a lot more the records from the olympics. But yeah, my dislike for this video is also due to the fact that this commentator is annoying as FUCK and makes me angry :D
Joe Blow
Gold Roger Kenyans are long distance runners, not one mile sprinters like this.
I liked how enthusiastic the announcer was that was cool
Michael Gutierrez we need real commentators like that
LOL I had to mute him! Did he get paid for this???
I’d say trade for joe buck?
This guy is an American icon for running. He should have broke the record in the states. I see a lot of disrespectful comments on here too, so glad everyone can run sub 4 min miles.
For all the non fast athletes here, you see those two runners in the lead half the race? Yeah, not Webb it turns out. Watching the wrong guy, your not alone.
Very few in the U.S.A really care about Track and Field anymore. It's a dying sport outside of the Olympics. Not enough violence and injuries.
@Ajay Agnihotri I meant no broken arms, legs, ankles etc. I love track & field but it's only popular during the Olympics. Sad but true.
@davewilliams5102 I ran a 4 35 mile in high school. Bench warmers on the jv basketball team had more clout than I did. That was in 1983. I m sure it's worse today.
@@AboveAvgMan Trust me it hasn't changed one bit
I ran a mile in 3:44.07, then my alarm clock went off... Dammit!
1st
Hicham still beat you. Sorry dude.
Bullshit. Everyone knows you can't run fast in dreams... Molasses legs always get you. 😝
@@partyman6666 lol
I can run a 100m in 15.6 seconds.
A mile is 1600m.
So if I keep that 100m pace, my mile is 4:16 minutes.
So this guys pace during this whole mile is faster than my sprint...
Yukster04 _ you run the 100 slow as fuck
@@andytheplatypus based
Whitetigerflash AJ A 15.6 100 is very slow. Most high school sprinters are under 12 seconds, and the really good ones are under 11. I’m an obese white guy and I run a 13.4, which I believe is around the average time for the general population.
The left upright at soldier field Oh well I’m not used to high school track, I do middle school. (Well I just finished the track season and I’m going off to high school next year) but most top people got like 13 seconds
The left upright at soldier field 15.6 is really slow? Wtf
Nostalgia from one of my best years. 2003. 16 years old. Disciplined. Hard training. Good coach. Went from like 5:40 to 4:47. Proudest moment in my life. I wonder I could still break 5. It would take too much work at this point. But what a beauty running is a sport. Pure test of guts and discipline.
That's awesome. I'm new to running and loving it
Haha, this video makes it look like some sort of middle school track meet. There was a baby sitting in the sixth lane!!

I remember when my XC team did the Titan 5k and we all got in line for an autograph from him. Just about the whole boys team fangirled over him and we took multiple photos with him. His wife even ran our cool down with us after the race and asked about us, but I was just amazed I got to meet julia webb. even as we left, a teammate yelled out the window, "We love you Alan". Good times.
I ran the HS Foot Locker XC meet and had the pleasure of meeting Alan and Dathan Ritzenhein. They were seniors and I was a freshman. The only time I saw them was at the start of the race and then they both were gone (Dathan won and Webb placed second.) After the race I got to meet them both. They are wonderful guys. Dathan was particularly friendly and did a cool down with some of the runners.
Who else thought Alan Webb was first in the beginning lol
Delixura yup
Delixura me
Delixura yeah
then who thought he was second ?
Coach b just you
In 1958, I went to the State running the mile, I did it in 4:24 and came in last, winning time was 4:10, but I held the county record til 1987. I did not know how to run til I got in the Army (27 years)
cool
Ur bullshit and if u rub in 4 min ur skinny af
You're cool!
you know you lying
+Blat Universal nigga you look so dumb nobody probably 😍 you probably 🔩🔩🔩 to not bragging but I lift 350
I run a mile in 5seconds and I'm only 3 years old.
good job me too
Oliver Lim
That's weak brah,
I actually wind up 2 minutes in the past when I finish my mile .
I did, too! Only I was a gamete in my father's balls and an egg in my mammy.
A turtle can beat you, you are slow as shit
Lol
This is truly awesome. Seen this video many times. Had to come back after I ran my first sub 5 minute mile at 4:57. Took me about 8 years to hit the sub 5 mile and proud of it at 21 years young.
im 12 my mile is like 3:34 or something i forgot because i dont really run much also i feel obliged to include my penis size which is a whopping 12 inches
lo
gotpuntedagain not even
gotpuntedagain wow your set
Hahahaha
lmaooo
The announcer was awesome. He made it the full experience.
im 7 miles and i ran a 2 years
...
Dang that’s fast!
cody lmaoooo 😂😂😂😂😂
Today, my 8-year old son ran the mile in 9:18. This is good motivation for him.
That Is Impressive for an 8 year old👏🏻
When i was 8 i ran the mile in 13 seconds
When I was eight I was running sub 8 minuets miles now I run sub 6 like a 5:40 average time I’m 13 I wanna drop that to 5:00
Volrest Volrest not really. I was pretty big as a kid and I ran a sub 9 at age 6
SUPER DUPER when is was 7 I got 11 seconds
I was studying in Germany when he did this. I was an hour and a half away by train and I really considered going to watch. I didn't and I'm kicking myself today for missing this performance.
Few people outside of the U.S.A. have heard of Alan Webb yet his mile time remains one of the very fastest in history. I can only presume that injury prevented him fulfilling his full potential.
To put this time into perspective, this is almost as fast as many high school 4x400m times.
Saw him run a 4:19 as a HS sophomore at nationals and knew he was going to be big. Several years later and I watched him break 4:00 it Penn Relays.
I'm in first grade and my best is mile is 3:49. I start high school next year so I hope I can beat Alan by then.
lmao
PONYBOYonline you're in first grade....but starts high school next year? Lmao
PONYBOYonline 3:49 slow ass nigga
Lol
@@user-zw9wy1wi3e
They grow up so fast 😔
I didn't know who he was xD I was like ohh the black guy is Allen and then he stops like wat
AGoldenGoldFish xD
GoldFishie lol same
Ianoodin to be racist you have to discriminate a race. Which I don’t see him doing, nothing bad was said about any race here, so go learn your definitions before you start throwing words like that.
GoldFishie same lmao
Chris Campos im pretty sure lanoodin was baiting you lol
I miss the feeling of being able to run like the wind. I find it the worst thing about getting old. It just makes you feel so alive. My best mile was 4:23 a long time ago now. Hats off to this amazing athlete.
To think Alan Webb went to my school is incredible. I came well after him but his records still stand at my school.
3:43.13 is the world record held by Hicham El Guerrouj. This guy was only a little over 3 seconds off. That’s awesome
Jason E those last seconds mean everything. Game of miliseconds at that point.
I ran the mile in 3 minutes but im also a Gazelle. is that good?
Rusty Fondleberg Nah, should have gotten a sub 2 at least...
Lol
it is good, unless there are lions nearby.
Sorry, your just a meal for cheetahs ...get a gun, you'll need it... a hoof triggering gun.
this guy is unbelievable. it may not look fast to most people watching this but if you look close you can tell he's practically sprinting the whole time. im 17 and my best mile is a 4:56 which is still a minute and ten seconds slower than his XD props to this guy
ure lying
BXAssasinatorXS lmao says the random 12 year old who probably doesn't know anything about running or any type of physical fitness. if you think im lying then that's your problem pal
+Daniel Baldi I know how you feel because my fastest mile is a 5:02 and I did cross country, so it literately is like sprinting almost the whole time.
Good job
I’m slow as shit but my brother is insane he runs a 4:24
This kind of thing makes we want to cry. Seeing people push themselves to their limits is inspiring.
Pshh... I could do a mile faster
*Puts keys in ignition*
Lol
i did one in 5 flat
5 flat hours
corndog984 not same I hade a 5:02
@corndog984 can’t even finish
That's great. Can't believe that record stood for 25 years. Steve Scott was my favorite miler in a time when there were some amazing middle-distance runners. Steve Ovett, Said Ouaid, Steve Cram, Eamonn Coughlann. Loved watching Scott hit the afterburners with 300 to go and outkick the field.
I played football in college but I ran a best 434 my freshman year. I liked to run. Anyway, the fact that this dude had greeted 8 to 10 people, had a couple short conversations, raises arms up and yelled yeah... All before I would have crossed the finish line... at a pace that made me throw up..??!!! That's insane.. ! Can't even imagine. This dude is awesome.
Alan Webb visited our running camp today. His hair nowadays looks a lot different...
4:38 30 years and about 60 lbs ago. Can’t imagine what Webb’s kind of speed must feel like...
Welcome to the club. I'm 40 years and 60 pounds ago. Need to do something about the 60 . The 40 years , oh well.
7:37:31 mile beat that Allen
I can WALK a mile in 20 minutes...
Booher Wesley Don’t be stuck up. His time is average. Not everyone is a runner. Kids like you are the worst part of high school/middle school track and field
Jose yeah....
7 FUCKING HOURS? HOW?!
I couldn't run that time if I tried! That is truly impressive 🤣
I was born in Albuquerque NM. When I was 25 years old, in the year 2005, I was serious about running. We have a road named "Tramway". I was running one night. All by myself. And so I wanted to see how fast I can cover a mile. There are actual mile markers on the sides of Tramway road. I had a wrist watch on my left arm. I started the stopwatch, and thought it best to take off at about 70% of my fastest spirnt. I started to slow down around 250 meters, then I held an high-knee prancing jog posture and kept running. I had to slow down my pace, to allow for a car to make a right turn. But then I picked up the pace again. Back to my prancing posture. And after I crossed the mile marker line,.. it took me about two seconds to stop my stopwatch. And when I stopped it,... It read 3:16.
And I wasn't even breathing to heavy afterwards. ✊😎
But... Sadly... I am the only one who believes my story. Because I was the only one who witnessed my own world class mile record of: 3:16. But then.... Something strange happened!!🤔
Just a few weeks later, I was in my living room playing with my musical keyboard. I had a picture of the Biblical verse of John (3:16), hanging on the wall in my living room. Which reads: For God ✨Soooooooo✨ 💓loved💓 the world,.... That he gave his only begotten son,... That (💥whosoever💥) believeth in (him),... Shall 💥NOT💥 perish,.... But have 💥EVERLASTING LIFE💥.😇😎✊ And in that very same minute, day and season of my life. I made it into a song, that has a very catchy rift. And,
.. through that entire experience, I came to understand that,.... Sometimes it may seem like we humans are born to run a mile faster than anybody else can,... Or to be the strongest man/woman in the world,.. or accomplish the greatest feats and displays of mankind's strength and knowledge of all time.... Though we may think this way,.... Yet I understood that God knows each and every one of us. And he has 20.000.000.000 times GREATER things in store for those who just simply believe in Jesus name. And walk in the fear of God. (The Holy God of Israel, (YAHUAH). Amen. And than we can even imagine up for ourselves!
And then I understood WHY, that
there is not one eye that has seen, niether is there any ear that has heard,... All of the wondrous and ✨GREAT & AWESOME✨ things that God has in store for those who wait on HIM. And that do according to his Righteous JUDGEMENTS. By giving to the poor, caring for the hurting and broken hearted. going out of their own way for the help of the hurting and needy, constantly dying to self, like Jesus Christ commanded us to do. And living and walking in the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. And constantly studying to understand God's holy word. And praying, repenting of their sins. And turning away from ALL unrighteousness. These are amongst the Innocent. And are counted Righteous before God. And these are the elect and chosen, who have their own senses tuned in to know exactly HOW to walk in the ways of Righteousness. And have their hearts and minds programmed to do good works for others, even ignoring their own needs above another's needs. and by these means,.. (WAIT) on YAHUAH/God.
And that these are the REAL & TRUE Children and WINNERS in the BIG RACE of time.
Shalom to all who fear Yahuah God. Amen.✊😇💪👏
just ran a track meet yesterday and got a 5:25 mile, that 3:47 is unbelievable
Scott won world silver medal and was very consistent runner - only beaten by Coe and Ovett
And almost nobody there to see a great athlete......bravo to Alan!!
I remember I had to run a 6 minute mile in HS to make the basketball team and I literally had to dive across the line to make it. A 3:46 mile is mind numbing.
That is incredible! Congrats to him on performing such a remarkable feat. I was a 4:04 miler back in my college days at Southern Oregon State and know what an accomplishment that is. I had the privilege of running against many of the great distance runners of the late '70s and early '80s era. I was never a world class athlete but I certainly competed hard and enjoyed every minute of competition.
I started running 2 years ago at age 27 and my mile time at the beggining was 8:10.
Now 2 years later, nearing my 29th birthday, my mile pr is down to 5:44.
Pretty happy with how far i've come 😄
I did 5:45 in 8th Grade. His time is insane.
I remember when running a sub 4 min mile was seen as godly, now collage guys run it in 3:50s hahaha, I miss the old days 💂🏻
Walker thats still not that many, that’s like .00000000001% of hs milers lol
A sub-4 in college is still considered very good. Where did you get your info regarding college guys and sub-3:50s? College runners compete at 1500 meters, which more than 100 meters less. The mile is barely ever contested nowadays. High School runners compete at 1600meters, College runners at 1500meters. (1mile =1609meters) There is a conversion chart, last year the fasted converted college miler ran a 3:57. (During the college season)
"How you doing alan?"
*Violent Breathing*
My best high school one mile in my senior year that I competed in only two times was 4:28.80, as I was a two miler and ran a 9:38.41 my senior year my best time. In college, in I ran a 4:17.34 Mile outdoors and a 3:57.55 1500 Meters indoors. My best events were the 5,000 meters(14:01.84)and 10,000 Meters (29:33.60)in College and made All-American two times my sophomore and senior year. Became a World Class runner straight out of the university ranks, and raced for New Balance and Etonic National teams.
So what, shut up.
Well done! I remember the epic mile races between Steve Scott and John Walker of New Zealand when I was young.
Idk if it's me but the audience was pretty dead witnessing a new record. I think he deserved a better round of applause. Great run!
Should have been my old stompin grounds, they would have expressed some appreciation.
Eugene Oregon
Yeah coz I'm sure a Belgian record would be appreciated by a crowd in the US
By the time this video ended most of us would be still running our mile 😂
I run a sub 3 lightyear, I really need to get back in shape..
4:29. Senior year. Best time of my personal mile times throughout high school. And i did it RIGHT AFTER my 100 meter dash. Didn't even have time to change my sprinting cleats. My spikes friggin clicked the WHOLE DANG RACE!!!!! It was embarrassing during but what a triumph! Only, it was at states, and i was second to last! I couldn't have run it any better at the time... First place was 4:07. Still never beat that time even after going to The USMC!!!!! And even in bootcamp, i started at about 250th out of 743 people, and over the course of those 3 months at good ol' P.I., shaved it down to 4:11. AAAAAND, i got up to the 2nd fastest out of 725! I just couldn't catch this guy... And he was ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS!!! about 10 seconds faster than my time!!!!! Pissed me off so SO SOOOOOOO BAAAAD!!!!!!!👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿!!!!!!!!!!!! It genuinely felt like the guy was secretly The Flash, and was just messin with me and doin just enough to stay permanently that far ahead!!!!! Never forget that guy... Lance corporal out of boot, LC AYALA. Became one of my best buddies since then, too. Humble as could be, too. Always could count on him to set the record straight and knock that cocky chip off my shoulder... 😒 Became the biggest influence on the importance and pride in being as great as you can, and achieving better than everyone (including yourself) expects you to be able. All the while, maintaining the humility that should be ultimately shared and expertly combined with the greatness one can portray when given such gifts and/or abilities that should NEVER be squandered or taken for granted or wasted. And this great example of what it takes to be a REAL MAN by the very truest definition of the term, ended up giving his life for others who will never know the depth of the impact he made in so many lives, and would still be doing so today... But, that's the catch, because he had such humility mixed with his noteworthy capability, he was able to have the courage and the heart and the discipline to disregard the worth and value of himself and sacrifice EVERYTHING so that those who have the potential for greatness or the skill to excel or the ability stand in the way of those who would choose to attain horrible and terrifying atrocities as their pinnacle of success, may have the opportunity to attempt do what ALL REAL MEN SHOULD STRIVE FOR ; And what it is, is simple; but to continuously choose to do it on a consistent basis and have the dedication to see it made permanently a part of who they are and the perseverance to not be sidelined or dragged down by those who would try to hinder you with or without intent. And that is to do your extreme best, never settle for a goal that you have reached without setting a higher one and faithfully keeping up with forward progress. And most importantly, to understand and accept that no matter how much you have achieved, how much better than others you are at anything, or how much prestige you may get for your accomplishments, you CAN do incredible things and have immense impact on others lives, so why would the message you want to send or the legacy you want to leave be about how much better you thought you were at something, instead of trying to assist as many souls as possible to see the light and take what pride they can in an infinite number of ways in the world we live in today, and for your message of true strength and genuine kindness masterfully working in synchronicity to spread the type of wealth that people should really be seeking and to properly prioritize and pursue the utmost important form of living... By doing it with excellence, responsibility, humility, honor, and selfless sacrifice. The prime examples of this combination of qualities constantly dwindles because THEY WILL ALWAYS BE THE ONES WHO MAKE SUCH EXTRAORDINARY SACRIFICES IN THE PLACE OF THOSE WHO WOULDN'T DARE, AND BECAUSE THEIR MOTIVATION IS PURE, AND NOT FOR NOTORIETY, MOST OF THESE HEROES OFTEN SLIP THROUGH THIS WORLD UNSEEN, UNHEARD, AND NEVER TALKED ABOUT... 😞😞😞😞😞 God Bless ALL of the unsung heroes who should be the kinds of people we idolize and have posters of and want to emulate... May somebody that you have impacted share the importance of your integrity and make your lesson commonplace so that our futures may be better ones... R.I.P. SERGEANT AYALA
GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN, MY GOOD FRIEND!!! STILL PUTTING UP THE GOOD FIGHT!!! OOH-RAH!!!
SEMPER FI!!!
My best 1 mile run was 4 minutes and 52 seconds and I trained very hard to achieve it.This man's 3 minute,46 second 1 mile run is extremely impressive!
Ray Flynn (his agent) was an EXCELLENT Track Runner in college (East Tennessee State University - ETSU) along with my roommate Gabriel Kenny back in the early-1980s
my best time is 7:05 😂 i started cross country this year so hopefully by the time track rolls around again i can get a 6:50 or lower hopefully!
if you train hard in XC you can definitely hit under 6:50
not being rude but 6:50 is trash in the track world. but if you really try I'm sure you can do it
+Markius Thomas tryout I did 7:30 last year now I run 4:39
+Markius Thomas I never said it was the best time ever I just meant it was the first goal I wanted to reach 😂 times don't drop drastically overnight so that's why I gotta practice 👍🏼
Dont worry lol my first XC race i ran 28, and the end of senior year i ran sub 18. I also PR'ed by 8 sec on the 800. Anything is possible hahahaha
Meanwhile I’m feeling proud of myself for breaking my personal record of 7:48 to 7:22.
When I was in high school (graduated year 2000) I had a classmate who was rank #1 in our county. Supposedly he ran under 4 mins. He gave it all up due to losing interest, but I’m sure there was more to it than that. He became anti-social. He was seriously gifted in long distance runs.
Delighted a few members of the local village turned up to see this.
Outstanding achievement; such a sad venue for it!
No one has run a mile faster since this one.
RIP Roger Bannister
My best mile time was back in high school. 7 minutes and 37 seconds. Was immensely proud at the time. Wish I could get back to it.
America has been waiting 25 years for this, i never hear of this happening and neither has anyone else
“I got a little excited there”
Yeah we know.
2 days ago it was beaten by someone who was only 8 years old when this happened. It wasn't beaten, it was obliterated by just under 3 seconds.
My fastest is about 6:30 I'm proud of that :)
+Josh Gomez same
Same
+Volrest Volrest But the fastest is under 3:00 It is like 2:49
+Volrest Volrest not even close xD
+Sarah Dohring Yes it is, This is a U.S.A record not national...
All my life I had trouble with Asthma, I'm not very tall (5'8) and always struggled with running but over the years I brought my mile time down over and over. During the 10th grade I finally brought it down to 5:30 without any training just typical school running. 8th grade I got my first sub 8 minute and 9th was my first sub 7. 10th was sub 6 but unfortunately no longer needed to run miles after that year so I don't know what I could've done. Point is that anyone who struggles with mile times can get it to a good speed if you try hard enough
I did a two forty minute mile on my bike, but I’m a 4:55 miler on foot and 17 5ker. This is amazing, seeing such a feat is so human, do dream and do big.
I run a 5:55 and after that Im ready to jump off the golden gate bridge.
Evan Hasson same it hurts like hell
Evan Hasson ikr I run about the same thing and I'm completely dead acter
After*
Evan Hasson :(
I just came from the golengate bridge survival video. It's a sign lol.
Meanwhile my fat ass takes 2 minutes just to run the first lap
Your Mom so it takes you 8 minuetes to run a mile?
Oh yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah
probably not because i dont think he can do those 2 min in every lap
How could he be in such a great shape after running it?
epi
Spoken like someone who's never won a race.
A 346 mile is quite impressive. I believe that the WR for the mile was set by El Guerrouj in 342, but Alan Webb's American record is impressive for the fact that the AR had stood for 25 yrs. This is Alan Webb's moment. They don't come often, and when they do it is a pivotal moment or defining moment in an Athletes career.
Great training accomplishes great results....congratulations Alan Webb, proud of you for our country.
That feeling when you see someone run a sub 4 minute mile when you can just barely break 5:30
Ian Stone lol, I can't even beat 6:30... I got 6:37 in 5th grade, and it's been 8 years since lol
TheFraggingFrog Clever 😂
Eddie Russell man I barely run a 6:15
I'm trying to beat a 16:00 time git gud
Bruh I can't break 5:55 and im 14
I'm a 2 year old girl and I run my mile in 27.33 seconds
Fake *cough* uhh FAKE FAKE FAKE
^You don't say?
That’s legitness
i run my 200 in that time
You dumbass stephen curry follower probably watch jake paul
Darned fine run.
My mother was at Oxford when Roger Bannister broke the 4minute mile...love the mile ...
Great Achievement - Cool how the other runners were a huge part of the record. My daughters good highschool friend just missed the Olympics in the high jump this last year at 19 we are hoping he puts in 4 more hard years to be a champion - its exciting to be part of something like this - Cool the announcer was so pumped up for it!!!
I'm 16 and get a 18 minute one mile. Hehe I'll get their one day!
+Airbornerock That's called hiking isn't it?
+Airbornerock jeez, do you walk it and have breaks while you walk?
u can do it
Bruh thats literally a walking pace going 3.3 mph
Michael James hater
99% of the comments saying their times are lies they say they say they get 4 minute a mile and shit and in real life they be getting 15 minutes mile
Thats actually so true tho
I’m a 6 minute
and that’s truth
You’d be surprised that they aren’t lying
I can run 4:50 at 15 years old, is that believable?
Austin Molitor yea that’s believable. I’m running 4:55 rn and I’m 14
Ben Craven Nice, that was at an XC time trial, and I'm hoping to get down to 4:31 this year.
*I'm 0.1 years old and can run a mile in 3 seconds, is that slow?*
MainyMain22 No, that’s dead.
I’m a junior and i just started winter training and i’m shooting for a 4:19 mile to go to state
Good luck
This is probably the most the most docile sport I’ve ever seen. It’s not like football or baseball, everyone is friendly.
bruh i can barely run a 60 second 400 imagine running 4 of those in a row
My PR is 4:50... I can't even imagine that somebody can do over a whole minute faster than that. That must hurt like hell! I mean seriously... can legs even do that!?
Cold Llama 4:48 feelsbadman
4:35 new PR (͡ ͡° ͜ つ ͡͡°)
dude i am 2 seconds faster that u 4:33
You guys are all bad liars
Damon Day lmao
so two people deliberately ran fast just to drop out so alan could keep pace?
Fabio Suave 狼
Yes, they are called rabbits
Effigy of Chaos also called a Pacer I believe
Used to run a mile in 12 minutes. Joined cross country and limited it down to 6:40 over a year and a half. Best achievement I’ve had
I think UA-cam is trying to cure my women's track and field addiction by recommending this.
Why did the rest of the runners stop running?
They are used to help him know how fast he needs to go to keep world record pace. If he falls too far behind them he needs to pick up the speed. The whole run was basically for him to beat the record.
They are pacers for Alan
Drew Hunter is coming for that
+Patrick Mullen heck yeah dude. Finally someone who knows what hes talking about
Drew still doesn't have a 353 yet!...yet.. talk about him getting that record after getting 353
we'll see how senior year goes i guess
It would be insane if he did beat it man. Alan set that bar pretty high but anything is possible and if Drew doesn't catch it, someone else will in the future.
Damien Dilcher is hoping to beat that
As amazing as this time is, it's still only about a 50 meter win over Roger Banister in 1956.
"Only" you say it as if roger banister was bad. He's only a few seconds off the world record, this guy.
Rhys Nichols
No, I was actually pointing out how good Banister was in his time, and how little athletes have improved in this sport in 50 years.
Ah right sorry I miss understood I understand now please don't shoot me though
Rhys Nichols
Do I look like a shooter to you?
Yes, but not human shooter, animal shooter perhaps haha just joking I was
How did he have so much energy at the end? He literally broke the American record, and is jogging and waving afterwards.
Understatement from the announcer? "I just got a little excited there!" You think so? That's OK, he's just the announcer. During my three years as a high school cross-country and track coach, I once got so excited at the end of a blazing (under 4:10 for the first two runners) mile race that I jumped in front of the camera at the finish line. Now that's getting excited, and not a little. The opposing coach wanted to get our runner disqualified because I was so out of control. The ruling was that I didn't impede anyone, so no disqual, but maybe I might exercise more self control in the future. I was pretty calm and controlled as a runner and competitor in other sports, but as a coach, I never threw a chair (or even yelled at refs, my own or the other team's players), but I was way too excitable.
I think everyone should be running under a 8 minute, no excuses.
@@howardthealien7961 Sorry coach I umm forgot to run...
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Matt Wheeler my pp got hard mid run
