"I kept going further and further until I could keep up with people. " That's exactly why I started doing ultras! 😆 Great job guys, very entertaining! Loved seeing the camera guy give it a go too!
Honestly, the only record I work on is my PB. In the last few years I have learned , that I cannot keep up with the pros, but I can take their hard work as inspiration for my own. Do your own best, not try to be someone else. Thank you for your work, all the videos, tips and challenges, it helps a lot and is very entertaining. Keep up the good work :)
I’m very impressed with any attempt to run any distance after a flat out 400. The first time I did a flat out 400 I lay down at the side of the track for an hour and focused entirely on not throwing up!
I've always been curious as to how fast you could run a 100 m if you cheat like hell. Downhill, huge tailwind. Maybe even getting pulled along by a car, like you're water skiing. Probably not the right channel for a stupid challenge, but it'd be funny.
I have been trying to do a sub 50 minute 10k for three/four years. The lockdown was poorly timed as regards this particular ambition. Now a septuagenarian, I may have left it a little late? My PB was set at the Lordshill 10k last September when I was officially clocked at 51:41. However, while my GPS watch agrees the time it reckons I only covered 9.83k! So: not a Strava PB! No man, or woman, is a hero to his/her Garmin.
Great video! Everyone is delighted to do that speed for 100/200m and the elite do it for 10000m... just a few more zeros... I watched the Athletics in Birmingham last week and it was amazing. I reckon they should also have an average runner alongside to give a better idea of how fast they are...
Did you main the 400m? I find it interesting because I'm a teenager and have a slower 400m but a faster 800m. Amazing the different types of runners there are lol
WOW they all did so well and Andy just looked like he was crusing!! I did a 44min 10k ONCE and felt like my legs were falling off. Like andy said I have just extended the distances, but everyone is still faster!!!! Oh and Mo is a machine!!
@@runningchannel No, still trying to recover from my stupid hip problems. BUT a small miracle has occurred recently, It has stopped cracking when I move, I have since been able to take slow 10km jogs. Trust me, it has been very, very hard mentally and physically these past 3,5 years. It feels wierd and tight but 90% of the pain is gone. The last doctor laughed out loud when I said I wanted to get healthy enough to run a marathon again. So THAT is the goal 3 June 2023 Stockholm Marathon! It will be done! Hope to see you there :-)
I only dream of running at that pace and that's where it will stay. It was nice to see you all have fun doing this challenge and fair play to ye for giving it your all. Great video 🏃♀️🏃♂️👍
No race planned till March so I've been trying to work on some PBs. After some focused training I did a mile attempt in 5:29 then 4 weeks later managed 5:26. I'd like to get down to 5:15, which is equivalent to a 4:52 1500m (my PB set in 1999). It's hard work, especially when ice cream tastes so good in summer. Well done to everyone in the video, very impressive!
@@na-dk9vm I've built up to x3 weeks at 62 miles and then 1 week at 43 miles. For me personally it took 55-60 miles, but it may take less or more for someone else. I moved on to mile training after a 5k PB of 18:45. I started running regularly in 2018 and have slowly built my volume 500 miles in 2019, 1000 in 2020, 1800 in 2021 & 1250 in 2022 so far.
Was just thinking about this! Glad to see this video this morning. Curious if you guys would be able to walk at WR walking pace, it's so weird and worth a try! Would love to see a couple videos about competitive walking, it's so unusual and funky
Amazing the speed when you drop it down to 400m. We have a very family friendly run group that has very fast and also slow runners that does a 10-14 x 400m on a handicap with everyone racing the last 400m. We have a couple that just break 60 seconds, think my best was 1:17, hats off
This has given me the motivation to continue interval training, something I am extremely reluctant to do... Did 4*800m this morning, trying to stay under 3 mins, 200m recovery. Christ it's hard, definitely a mental game as much as anything else.
Tom was the absolute star of this. He blew up at 250m but he dug in and brought it home for a great time! 👏👏👏 Everyone else was about what I predicted, Mo could maintain it for about 1 minute, I predicted about 35 seconds for Sarah and that was spot on. I didn’t think Anna could get up to that speed at all but let’s say she could for 10 seconds to be generous. Good effort all round for having the guts to put it on the line.
I'd be satisfied, If i could even manage a few seconds holding that pace. Guess I've got a new challenge ahead! :') Thanks for the video, it gave me some motivation!!
When I watched Richard Murray do his 10k under 30 minutes and what he had to do, to do it, and he’s a top class triathlete. I knew those records aren’t a joke.
I sprinted the last 220m of my easy 2 mile run this morning. Did it with a 3:30/km pace. That felt really fast at the time but is not even in the same ballpark as the record, more like Tom's effort.
@@runningchannel Do you have any suggestions on what is the best cheap running watch? I am currently using my Garmin cycle computer and heart strap to measure my runs. Easier to ask than try and search through all your vids if you have already covered this 😁
@@ianh9696 I've used a Garmin Forerunner 235 for over 3 years now, they've updated since to a 245 and now a newer 255. For a little less they also do a 45 and the newer 55. I'd certainly consider those, but check the reviews beforehand to make sure they have all the features you would like.
Congratulations on starting C25K!! It's a great program, you'll be killing the 5k before you know it! I love my Garmin Instinct. It was relatively cheap, especially when you scroll through the colors- some are cheaper than others. It's got more options than I'll ever need, but isn't fancy, and it's made to take a beating.
You should interview the guy who took one of my strava segment records. A 400m segment in 36 seconds. My guess, he was on a bike as he managed an 18km "run" in 32 mins.
@@runningchannel I got accused of cheating on a cycle segment after I took 14 seconds off the previous crown! No I had fresh legs and no traffic from lockdown!
@@stewartsherwood7769 and on a bike he would be needing to go 34km/h or 21mph consistently which means either an electric bike or a car! My former housemate is a racing cyclist and he does 26kmh average
Fantastic video and really informative. I agree that to really get a sense of speed and endurance of professional athletes you need to see them in person rather than on the television. Keep up the good work.
I learnt from triathlon it's best to compete against yourself (apparently Paddington said comparison is the thief of joy). However, the channel is ace and all you guys are brilliant as well as very fast, all faster than me (I am now 57 though). All you can do is keep on trying and this channel is the best source of knowledge in all things running. Thank you QQ is it true that exercise will make zero difference to weight? according to many scientific studies but does this count for people training many hours and working physical jobs ... I looked on previous episodes and couldn't find anything covering this. Keep up the good work
So crazy what a pace, in HS Junior year I use to run 400 m dash in about 49-52 seconds and to think you’d have to hold a 62 second pace for that long is crazy.. my best 10k so far is 6 17” pace but I’ve only tried maybe 6-7 times so much room for improvement :)
@@runningchannel you know it’s weird, so I’ve been running a lot miles since 2016 about 1000 to about 1300 miles a year but looking back I really want to change my workout regimen. I used to run a ton of 3-5 milers and then started pushing myself to 5-13 milers. I’m definitely planning to attempt 6 flat or sub 6 at some point :) the day I ran that 6 17 I had no intentions on going for a PB, I just had broken in the AlphaFly next % started out slow on a Misty early morning, I think first mile pace was around 7 37 then halfway mark I felt really good and turned it up! All that to say, running is an amazing sport and such good medicine for the human psyche 😃 love this channel too!
@@runningchannel I could comment and go on and on but honestly I really need to do 80 percent of my weekly mileage at a low zone heart rate and also focus on calf workouts along with kettlebell and lunges 🙌🏽 will keep you guys updated 😃
This reminded me of my football coach taking a couple of us to pre-preseason training. We went to Lewisham athletics track. He told us to do a warm up 800M. Being cocky idiots we didn't run at 'warm up pace'. Little did he know he was timing us. He then said we had to do it again. 5 times and beat our pace each time. Any time we didn't, he added another 800 to the session. Being dumb and unable to navigate pace, it was 10× 800 before he said let's move unto 400M, then 200M then 100M dashes with similar time targets. By the end of the session, we were all throwing up on the side. This was a Tuesday, he said see you back on Thursday for the same thing plus a weights session. Cruel punishment, but I have never reached that level of fitness again. 😢
I used to run 10k most mornings on the most beautiful rolling countryside roads of South Devon. It was the best way to start any day. Time? Generally around an hour. A couple of the hills were rather steep, but I wouldn’t want to rush it anyway, it was just too lovely. Happy days.
I used to run for a club over 800/1500/3k steeple. I know exactly how hard it is to maintain 60sec laps. Crazy fit to see elite athletes finish a 5k or 10k race and look so relaxed.
We actually gave this one a go! You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/uexrsePfzio/v-deo.html Are there any other challenges you would like to see us take on?
if you ever do a fun-run with a world class runner then you know the feeling that you will never - ever be close. I went to a military academy and we had harriers every Fall of 5K - we had an exchange officer who was a ex-D1 runner who cleaned the clock on the first heat, the second heat and the third heat [he ran them all] and beat the third heat by as much as he beat the first - all back to back with 10 mins rest.
Crazy to do this speed for 10km. Bit what I find crazy as well: the best 400m runners do it in under 44sec while you were struggling to get below 60s (I would as well).
Uff great challenge! When i saw in common races how far away are the pointers from me, is impressive the fast they go and me feeling “you are so slow “ but finish ok? (Big smile)
I think I could MAYBE hold the 10k WR for a 400 right now, but when I did run in high school I could have probably kept up for about a 600m, maybe creeping into the 700m range
I used to be best at 400m, but the longer distances not so great. It’s ok to be explosive and quick over the shorter distances. I used to run far too fast and be leading 5k events but then finish way back around the 20 minutes mark. 😆 Now I’m old and overweight and can’t do any of it but trying to get it back.
Great video, will done everyone! If you're looking for your next challenge.... How about the 'Beer Mile'? I'm sure that would be entertaining to watch 🥴
For me running at this pace is pretty much going into high risk of getting injured because last time I did an all out short sprint race on 2024 new years I ended up causing a mild tear on my hamstrings and some muscle in the hips.
really interesting video. It is amazing the paces the elites run. When i run i like to see how many kph i do to see the speed i was running at. But i think this needs a sequel. Compare the same times but this time running on a treadmill. Time it on your watch and see how the speed and times compare. Just a thought
@@runningchannel some say it's easier on the treadmill and some say harder. I think it will be interesting to see what the hosts get in comparison to their track runs. I don't know my prediction. But I think some will run faster and others slower. But who? No idea
As a teenager I used to be able to do the 200m in 26s but these days I'd be nowhere near that. Certainly couldn't have got close to WR pace on the 400m!
Next challenge: how far can you run within the WR time for 5K and 10K? I guess I'd be able to go slightly beyond the 3K mark in 12:35 and somewhere in the 6-6.5K in 26:11.
My basic running I do sometimes in the end Kipchoge Marathon WR speed about 200meters. I think it is 2:52/km. Every time it feels crazy speed for marathon. Every 100m 17.2s.
Have you ever attempted to run at world record pace? Are there any other world record paces you’d like to see us attempt? Let us know in the comments!

thank you for your video to watch worth it. I've impressed what you give a try all.
Thanks!!
Brilliant video, Andy I couldn’t stop laughing went you said, he looks like someone has given him a tranquilizer half way round. 😂😂😂
Love this challenge! Have you seen the treadmill where you can do Kipchoge’s marathon speed?
We actually gave this one a go! You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/uexrsePfzio/v-deo.html
Are there any other challenges you would like to see us take on?
Some normal treadmills max out below Kipchoge's marathon pace!!
‘Half a second’. You’re still our hero Sarah!
I love watching people run even you 4 muppets!!!!
Brilliant achievements guys.
Well impressed.
Yer man at the end made me LOL
Oh you filmed that in Oxford 😍 I would have liked to watch!
Would you like us to look into doing spectator challenges?
if you ever do a fun-run with a world class runner then you know the feeling that you will never - ever be close. I went to a military academy and we had harriers every Fall of 5K - we had an exchange officer who was a ex-D1 runner who cleaned the clock on the first heat, the second heat and the third heat [he ran them all] and beat the third heat by as much as he beat the first - all back to back with 10 mins rest.
Loved the vid. Good effort guyz
I'm Kenyan so you know am a marathon runner. I'm not sure I can manage the pace as of now but watch out for me in the coming championships/olympics.
Crazy to do this speed for 10km. Bit what I find crazy as well: the best 400m runners do it in under 44sec while you were struggling to get below 60s (I would as well).
Uff great challenge! When i saw in common races how far away are the pointers from me, is impressive the fast they go and me feeling “you are so slow “ but finish ok? (Big smile)
I jus love these kinds of videos... ❤️❤️
I think I could MAYBE hold the 10k WR for a 400 right now, but when I did run in high school I could have probably kept up for about a 600m, maybe creeping into the 700m range
I used to be best at 400m, but the longer distances not so great. It’s ok to be explosive and quick over the shorter distances. I used to run far too fast and be leading 5k events but then finish way back around the 20 minutes mark. 😆
Now I’m old and overweight and can’t do any of it but trying to get it back.
Great video, will done everyone! If you're looking for your next challenge.... How about the 'Beer Mile'? I'm sure that would be entertaining to watch 🥴
Love the video massive thumbs up
Another great video 💪🏻💪🏻
For me running at this pace is pretty much going into high risk of getting injured because last time I did an all out short sprint race on 2024 new years I ended up causing a mild tear on my hamstrings and some muscle in the hips.
really interesting video. It is amazing the paces the elites run. When i run i like to see how many kph i do to see the speed i was running at. But i think this needs a sequel. Compare the same times but this time running on a treadmill. Time it on your watch and see how the speed and times compare. Just a thought
Great suggestion, thanks Chris! We'll have to see what we can do 😊 What would your prediction be?
@@runningchannel some say it's easier on the treadmill and some say harder. I think it will be interesting to see what the hosts get in comparison to their track runs. I don't know my prediction. But I think some will run faster and others slower. But who? No idea
This was so fun watching :-D
Ty
As a teenager I used to be able to do the 200m in 26s but these days I'd be nowhere near that. Certainly couldn't have got close to WR pace on the 400m!
You suck
Tom is my spirit animal.
😂
Fantastic attempt!
I love those circles with 4 corners⁉️
Looks really fun!!
Knackered after one lap? Now, go and do it 24 more times! Good luck 🤣🤣🤣
My mum used to run this pace… she is giving me grief saying I should be able to! She was a sprinter I’m not a sprinter
Wow your Mum must have been an incredible runner! What's your favourite distance to run?
5 and 10K's she used to be Devon Champion for sprinting 100 and 200 meters
Before the gun goes off, I can keep pace with any of the worlds greatest runners 😎
I could probably last a 400 at the men’s and currently a 1200 at the women’s working on getting a mile in at that pace
Next challenge: how far can you run within the WR time for 5K and 10K? I guess I'd be able to go slightly beyond the 3K mark in 12:35 and somewhere in the 6-6.5K in 26:11.
Well done everyone. Explosive like that is my least favourite thing to do. I rather do hills then sprints.
Having fellow runners at the track is so much more fun :)
This looked fun.
Wish Andy was my coach!
Great fun! Love it
My basic running I do sometimes in the end Kipchoge Marathon WR speed about 200meters.
I think it is 2:52/km.
Every time it feels crazy speed for marathon. Every 100m 17.2s.
Have my first marathon coming up and I would really appreciate some tips for training through the winter!!
Great video!
I thought i was considered kinda fast with my 10k time of 42:48 but that world record is insane!
Like wise......my best 10 K time was 31 minutes. I look back now at age 66..... and I never realized I ran it that fast !
@@jimmyjohnson7041 How old were you when you ran that ?
@@robertboeh1857 I was age 28 and also rather tall 6'6" not many distance runners that tall.
i can manage a 400 in 60s but to hold that pace for 1000m it is insane what these ppl do!!!
Good effort all. How can Andy say he is too old to run the 100m when he literally just ran four times that distance?
Mo is solid ! Built for sprinting
I can run this pace for 1k… it’s crazy that the WR is 10x the distance at the same speed
1k is very impressive!
Right now I can go for two laps at that pace, by the end of highschool I am hoping to be able to do 4 laps at that pace.
Ok. I’m impressed. And I loved that they did this with such good vibes. 😇👍
