- A 4:03 mile blows my mind. But putting more than THREE of them together BACK to BACK to BACK?! How did he do it?! In this video I give you my reaction along with some behind-the-scenes info I picked up racing in Monaco for the better part of a decade.

Imagine doing a 4 minute mile. And another one. And another one. And then kick for another 200m.
He will do it soon
IKR imagine
That Is quick
hot sauce
I can image it.
Love the fact you went out the way to create this additional channel for us instead of solely focusing on viral videos, it shows that you really do care about your audience.
Love running and my subs!!!
@@NickSymmondsToo thanks brah
@@NickSymmondsToo i do think you are the best youtuber on sports.. period. (specially in the track). Dont take what i said bad, but i dont like you talking drugs concerns and use a personal name of an athlete in the same sentence. I really understand your doubts about drug use during covid and if you do a video on drugs and elite sport i would watch it but it isnt gently to talk about a guy that just broke a world record and wonder if he have been check for drugs. I know you think he is clean, but you raise concerns and now the idiot next door is saying he did it because of dope. Thank you for your great work i would love to see some videos on pentathlon and ultra marathon. cheers
He was wearing the “Nike ZoomX Dragonfly’s “ Nick Symonds.
Fortnite player. Didn't think I'd see you here
thanks for letting me know! Now I need to get my hands on a pair :D

Mr.Creepington why?
Would be nice to see Nick testing new spikes as he's capable of doing 60second repeats.
Your 5k pb is 15:49? That's so awesome dude because that is exactly what mine is! I love it. I have same 5k pb as World Championship 800m silver medalist. That just made my day. lol
its also totally possible that he raced it as a senior in high school for cross country. but still
and 15:49 os pretty damn good anyway
@@IlOVeTrEn000 damn are you in high school? Only like 90 people in the US have done that, at least last year
@@IlOVeTrEn000 that’s cap
@@IlOVeTrEn000 I just looked it up
@@IlOVeTrEn000 no I looked up the ASICS race and nobody ran that time
I didn’t think I’d see Bekele’s record broken until my late 20s, it was easily the most dominant world record ever.
I know right I honestly don’t believe it was broken and kenenisa is my favourite runner
I’d have to disagree with you on bekele’s record being the most dominant world record ever. Rudishas 800 record and el guerrouj’s 1500 and mile records are way more untouchable
I've got to go with Komen's 7:20 3k record as the most dominant record.
@@emmettmcgrath4871 I totally agree,we can add Komen record too the 3000m.
Emmett McGrath the 800 more so, tho
Honestly I cried after seeing this record. It’s amazing what the human body can do. 💪 Onto my own 5km PB now!
"We need to have gambling." LMAO
WE DO!!!!!
@@NickSymmondsToo not sure I agree nor support the concept of gambling, but it sure would bring some more attention to track.
Gambling can incite athletes to cheat, that is why it is banned throughout most sports. Even if gambling takes place in the middle of a race while the athletes are performing, the athletes could finish in certain places purposefully in order to win someone else some money, and then of course the athletes can be tipped off by the gamblers for helping them win their bets. Gambling could ruin the sport.
Horse racing wouldn’t exist without gambling because it’s a shit sport. Athletics absolutely does not need gambling at the track. You can bet on races like you can other sports but I would hate to see spectators waving their betting slips like they do at a horse race. Awesome video by the way. Thanks
CORRECTION! He does 99 percent of the training in Kapchorwa Uganda. Runs from his house and does speed work in Sebei secondary school grass track
Exactly! Training on a geass track with 406m of length at 2,500m of altitude!
Very correct
@Zamba Kimalel (male, Kenyan) or you come to Kapkugo? Or you didn’t know Mt Elgon is kapkuko
He’s wearing the Nike dragonflies. It is nikes new track spikes with zoomx foam and a carbon fiber plate
They cost $150 on Nike.com, although I think they are sold out
Zoom X foam yes, but they don’t have a carbon fiber plate, just a regular spike plate

Nick Symmonds I'm glad that you have created a second channel, I was waiting for this for a while!
Thank you, Nick, for putting out these videos and taking the mass amounts of time out of your day and effort to make these high-quality, thoughtful and informative videos. I wish I would have had some of these insightful commentaries when I was in high school and college running over 10 years ago, and I'm sure it is a privilege for runners to have today while they are running in high school and college (and maybe even younger as well). It really isa wealth of knowledge that you put out there in these videos and every one is a treat. Thank you, again!
14:47 "there is no way that he can continue at this pace". Nick tryin to act surprised evn tho he knows the outcome lmao.
That little smirk just before the final lap is so great
At 16:15 I agree with you. Covid ruined this for him just like he did for my friends that finished high school this year. He could have done this in front of the world screen. Olympic is hands up the most watched show around the world.
I think Cheptegei looks like El Guerrouj (running form wise). A lot of power to the ground through glutes and thighs. That's why it looks like he's "jogging" at 60 second laps. It is incredible.
Track people know what they just witness! Any time a WR it’s amazing to be there in person and see it!
Love how he’s like “can he do itttt” at the last lap when he’s legit saying the whole time “we know what happens he breaks the world record”
Looks like Nike ZoomX Dragonfly - Also even though there were very little fans and the energy of Monaco wasn't there, it makes this record just that much more incredible/difficult to take on. Chep did this with no fans, alone after 6 laps, during the worst pandemic in a century and his travel time to Monaco from Uganda took 80hours which is exhausting for anyone...
--> the only thing i would've wanted a little more of was to see this race run with more world-leading 5k runners. I feel that this record could've been even more incredible if there was more competition. However, I think the other world-leading 5k runners knew they weren't ready to stick with Chep because he announced a 5k record attempt prior to racing and I'm sure the competition was like we arnt ready.. I think the closts anyones gotten was Barega's 12:43 and Kejelcha's 12:47 in 2018..
Thanks for your thoughts Nick
The wavelights helped him
9:27 His pacing was so accurate because he had the lights on the floor.
I know right. There are supportive technologies nowadays that help Athletes. Kenenisa Bekele did it by himself. What a legend
Joshua is still amazing tho
He was ahead of the lights though. He'd only see them if he's behind or right on the pace.
@@waterproof4403 it doesn't matter at the end of the day he ran faster than him
@@lukewat kipchoge still ran 159 for the ineos challenge?
@@waterproof4403 your point?
Not sure if you're still reading comments, but the discussion of pacemakers just made me think of Bram Som who honestly is one of the most recognizable athletes in track for how well he does pacing.
This is awesome Nick! Been missing the Race Recap videos you made and this was the perfect thing to fill the void
I just subscribed to this channel. Why didn't you inform your subscribers of this channel ????? ;) I love all what you're doing here in UA-cam. It's so amazing to have an Elite like you giving so much inspiration.
All my thanks from Paris :)
Awesome insight, you can't get insight like this anywhere else
WE LOVE THIS TYPE OF VIDEO NICK,THUMBS UP
This was just amazing i watched it live i was getting so hyped
Your for sure the most dialed in UA-camr in the U.S. for sport.
It was the Wavelight technology. We went from a cinder track to polymer. Times changes. Those lights should be everywhere, like in Eugene.
This is your best video imo - would love more of this
14:24 Props to Wanders for cheering Cheptogei on. I would probably be too resentful to do so if I got lapped.
He's a good sport! Cool to be part of that race I'm sure.
I love Wanders
Yeah I was impressed by that when I watched the livestream. He paid attention, made very sure to not get in Cheptegei's way at all, and applauded him on the way past.
It is important to remember that he was wearing the new Nike Dragonfly shoes. Those shoes will revolutionize the track world like the Alphafly shoes have done for the marathon world.
I’ll break the record. I’m just built different
👍
breed: different😈

Ethan Curnow if we combine our forces it’ll be easy

Thanks Nick! This was awesome!
Just found this channel this is awesome to watch!
Loved this video Nick, thanks for doing this, fascinating insight!
Hi Nic wonderful to see you !!
Yes for more race recaps!
Thank you so much Nick. Keep them coming.
excellent video. your insights as an elite athlete yourself are indeed fascinating. keep em' coming
Yay I was first to watching yet another ultimate vid by nick!!!
Thanks for watching!
The pacing was perfect, a sensational performance, thanks for watching this nick I wanted to see someone talk about it
He gas robot pacing lights..
@@waterproof4403 if he's ahead of the lights how is he supposed to see them
@@kaismithley6173
That whole thing was staged for Cheptegei. They made sure to break the records with technological help. Those wavelights are like robot pacers and the kangaroo shoes are massive help as well. It may not look like much but its all about tiny margins at this level. The men and women's 10000m and 5000m stood for so long I guess haha. No one could reach them so they had to do this robbery
The Ugandans splits were metronomic. Very much on point. That is because a robot was pacing him on the side of the track. You can clearly see the light illuminating the inside of the track so of course he can see them. Massive cheating.
@@waterproof4403 lots of hate, why can't you be happy for him to be able to break such a monumental record, his success doesn't make bekele any less the greatest of all time, I bet you didn't flinch when bekele almost broke the marathon world record with more advanced shoes, why is this any different, the wavelights are just like any other pacing method just more modern and the shoes don't matter that much, technology advances and no world record is going to stand forever, might as well accept that
@@kaismithley6173 just saying there should be an Asterix next to the records set by these technologies..
Yep I wanna see some new videos like this. In Monaco, by the way, the womens 1000 meter worldrecord was nearly smashed and Kipyegon run the second fastest time ever! :D
Nick, this is great. Please keep doing these videos. Most of the other t&f analysis/reaction videos I've seen on youtube (cough TRP cough) are total crap. This is a breath of fresh air.
Love this type of video
"Crushed it by almost two seconds"
I watched the 2012 olympic finals and u where in last to 5th it was soooo good
To be fair to this performance even though the rabbit stepped off he still had the lights on the track that help him understand his pace. Still very incredible
Truly remarkable!
I still gotta go with kenensia by being the greatest distance runner of all time. He set those records way back and didn't have anything support him! Legendary
I learned so much! Thank you :)
Damn i never thought the etheopian distance records would be broken so soon
16 years was the longest the 5K record had ever lasted!
@@NickSymmondsToo yeah that does give it a lot of credit, but I didnt think I would see it broken for at least 8 years.
HypixelPing I think he’ll beat his own record before then.
@@xctf1230 the damn wavelights..
@@elijahkwon422 wouldn't be surprised. Just like INEOS
I love these type of videos!
Now for the Cheptegei Challenge. Nick attempts to run 100m at 5000m WR pace. Will Leer laps him.
9:56 Nick only ran a 15:49?? I'm sure he didn't run one all out at peak shape then. Sub 16 is my immediate goal but I've got to beat Nick too sometime lol
his "peak" shape was probably olympic 800m shape. and i doubt he was gonna do an all out 5k mid season
@@manchugaming9305 I know dawg that's what I mean. I'm sure he didn't run one at peak shape
He was a 3:56 miler, if he would have focused on the 5k he could’ve easily broken 14:00
@@Netsfan24 dude I know. My comment says "I'm sure he didn't do one all-out at peak shape" but anyway I'm a 15:06 guy now so that's cool that I've blown this old comment out of the water
12:35.37 is almost unbelievable surely ne can run another one at World's this week.
That's our hero 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬💪💪💪
Great video keep doing that kind of content! 🤟
Awesome video Nick, keep them coming. If you havent heard already checkout out Harvey Lewis FKT he set last week on the original Badwater course all the way up Mt. Whitney. Amazing stuff
Cheptegei has the gold medalist kit bc he won the 10000m at the 2019 world championships
Me: Hmm I don’t remember getting this notification
Also me: There’s a tooooo!!?
He’s wearing Nike Zoomx Dragonfly’s. Nikes new distance track spike. Cool technology in it too! Zoomx Foam and a full length spike plate
Only a reguler spike plate.
I have notes on every split but I havnt watched it before ?? How does he do it 😂
so the broadcaster had to throw to the women's high jump right in the middle of Cheptegei's world record race. And then at 6;45 Yaroslava appeared and it was obvious that we had plenty of minutes to share !
Bruh this man runs a 5k almost as fast as I run a 3200
Yeah.. and he runs a 5k almost as fast as I... hmm..
I can't run that fast at any distance.
Love the new channel. These Nike zoom x dragonfly's are marketed for 1500m to 10k. Just wondering why they are not considered the best for 800m?
The fact that he held that pace without the rabbits for half the race is crazy
He has a robotic lights pacing him..
@@waterproof4403 ever heard of drafting
Pro runner and now pro commentator haha love it
NICK ,STILL WAITING FOR THAT 800 HURDLES WR ATTEMPT,MY MONEYS ON TANNER
Really Nick ,now all am thinking about is drugs. Think you should have made a separate video about drugs and not taint my Boy's record
Nick symmonds’ new channel?! How did I not know about this!
Someday, we will ALL be able to have a "ghost runner" pacing us. Just waiting for the virtual reality glasses (Google glass-type) with proximity sensors to guage your relative position. I promise you it's coming.
Kek
Yay
Love these videos
Love this kind of content nick!
The Rabbit part cracks me up!😁😁😁
No better commentary than from a former Olympian than some rando who thinks they know the sport on UA-cam.
Y’know it’s funny. The person I found suspicious was Kiplimo. Honestly I heard of cheptegei before, but not Kiplimo. And how many 19 year olds run under 59 minutes in a half marathon the same year they run a 3 and 5k? Jeez, how many runners in general have done this in one year?
The wavelights are cheating methods haha
And he's not 19 lmao more like 29
Uganda stand up! 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Make one video on WHAT type of shoes we have to use as per our event start from 100m to marathon and so on....... Love your video make vlogs also if possible love from India
There's insane and there's this. This is insanely insane.
Hi Nick, have you been aware that there were lights on the curb to mark the perfect pace? OK, I see you were.
Like your exitement about this performance and athletics at all!
I know right. God knows what crazy times Kenenisa would have ran if he had the same level of support Kipchoge and Cheptegei are having now
I enjoyed a lot watching Cheptegei! But i'm not naive, 12:35...
Wavelights haha
The shoes were the ZoomX Dragonfly. The spike plate goes inside the midsole and extends all the way back to the heel, but it's plastic, not carbon fiber.
Mcsweyn and henrik and cheptegi what a field
Pls make more race reaction videos
They are wearing Nike ZoomX Dragonfly track spikes shoes
They now have a green light at the base of the track that indicates the world record. Look at it as it circles the track.
I know right. It helps the runners
Kenenisa did it by himself
Never heard anyone call the pace setters “rabbits” 😂
I've never heard anyone refer to the rabbits as "pace setters".
That sounds like I'm joking, but I'm honestly not - I've almost always just heard them called "rabbits", and occasionally "pacers".
("rabbit" being an old greyhound racing term, for anyone who's not familiar with it)
Hi Nick , I’m 15 at the moment and have just started taking training more seriously in the last 4 months. I do around 50k a week. Last year my 800 time was 2.12. But hopefully it’s a lot better now I just haven’t been able to get to a track. How much training where you doing at my age? And is there anything else I could do to improve?.
Also at the moment I do no stretching or injury prevention what should I be doing to keep injury free? Thanks and sorry for all the questions. :)
Love the UA-cam videos by the way.
I turned notifications on
The more nick the better
i guess the canadian record in the 5k a few weeks ago was a foreshadowing for this record
Literally twice as fast as me
Lol yeah! Twice is slow as still a decent 5min/km
I would love to see a video on Jakob Ingebrigsten.
With this new shoe technology, you have to wonder how this can be regulated.
There should be a set standard of shoe that athletes have to wear-no new prototypes that special Nike athletes get secretly. (Kipchoge)
Drug test questions are fair, it's not just Western countries using EPO anymore-too much money, prestige at stake.
Kenenisa did it by himself
Legendary
He was wearing the nike zoomx dragonfly
He wore Nike zooms dragonfly track spikes
Just a question Nick...what are your thoughts on the new light pacing technology ?
Various super records have fallen since the inception of the technology...
Massive cheating
I’m an old hurdler so I don’t pretend to understand distance pacing and strategy, but can anyone explain to me the purpose of having multiple rabbits/ pacers? It seems strange that a rabbit would need another rabbit but, again, the mental part of these events are pretty foreign to me
2 seconds ?! Insane.
two seconds is insane no doubt
Why wasn’t Julien Wanders wearing the black and white uniform?
thats for world and olympic champions only, is julien wanders a world champion? i didnt read into him
I can only dream to hit a speed like this
