    The 800 meter world record has improved by 11 seconds since 1912. Over the course of the past 108 years, many runners have lowered the record, but nobody has ever been able to dip below 1:40. Now the big question surrounding the 800 meters is when will someone finally break the 1:40 barrier? Or is this time barrier impossible?
    Thanks for watching!

    I once saw a short film on an Air Canada flight a few years ago about a teenage farm boy and runner who dreamed about running sub 1:40. Rudisha's races were featured in the kid's daydreams while he regularly ran 800m time trials on the farm road. The short ended with him running his course at the same time as the WR London run and his watch stopped at 1:39.9. Don't remember the name or producer. It was a cute display of the scenarios we all construct in our sports fantasy life. Mine is pulling off a Zatopek.

    The person who breaks 1:40 will do so with the assistance of ever faster tracks and improved (carbon plated) spikes, not because they are better athletes than the current athletes at the top of the all time list. There was nothing separating Rudisha and Kipketer (about 0.2secs) and considering the difference in tracks and shoes between now and 40 years ago when Coe ran 1:41.7, nothing really between them and Coe. He was ahead of his time.

      I think we’ll see a 1:39 eventually but it’ll take a unique talent. One of the reasons I find the 800 fascinating is because unlike a lot of tack events there isn’t one specific body type that tends to dominate. Coe’s 5-9 & competed at about 120 pounds. Rudisha’s 6-3/175.

    To put this in perspective the world record for the 800m (1:40.91) is the equivalent of a pace of 4.61 seconds for the 40 yard dash, if you didn’t know running a 40 yard dash under 5 seconds is already almost impossible for your average person. So to run a 800m in a pace of 4.61 per 40 yards is godly.

    • @jonathanw1106

    You’re gonna need a total rethink of the competitor focusing on the event. Imo to dip under that barrier it needs to be treated like the 400H. A total overhaul of the body type and speed profile. I don’t think a negative split is going to do it. It’s long been the prevailing loose strat and it’s just not working. My theory is it’s got to a running style/ body type of Jeremy Wariner. My ideal runner in a fantasy world would be stop everything and make Kirani James run the 8 at the expense of his entire program. He’s always had a smooth, long stride with a power finish. If he waited to pick his head up and push the drive phase out to 75m with a gentle taper into an extended cruise phase, he could be in he first athlete to split a truly effective sub 48 1 lap. If he got this down to a science, I really do think if he dedicated his career to it he could go 48, 51 and change. But you’d also have to raise the profile of the 800m and start attracting that kind of athlete younger. I was the lead off man thrown in with a trio of 1:53 guys in highschool to win state and literally couldn’t stand the 4x8. It’s the most painful, least sexy race in the entire world of athletics. Atleast while going to hell & back in the 400H you get to jump a few times lol you have to essentially convert a full on long sprinter into dedicated 800m runner and reclassify “mid distance” atleast make 800 it’s own thing mentally. Humans have no business going sub 1:40 tbh. But if you wanted to, imo you need a an entirely new athlete. Not even the great Rudisha can achieve this. What he’s done isn’t even human as is. I can’t ask more of him

    In my opinion the 800 m is the most challenging running distance. It requires a combination of 3 factors in order to be the best. Speed, endurance and resistance. I’m not sure if the last word is the correct translation in this context. In Dutch we call it weerstand. Unfortunately the 100 m gets all the media attention and the 800 m almost none.

    In believe sebastian coe done more to improve the 800m then any other runner, he took the world record in 1979 from 143,4 done to 142.4 a huge margin of improvement, if this wasnt enough two years later in 1981 he improved the world record again this time to an amazing world record of 141.73.
    In the london olympics of 2012 we saw propably the greatest and fastest 800m ever run, but even more amazing is that seb coe would have came second in this race with his time of 141.73 ove 30 years after his world record time, this is why i think seb coe was the greatest middle distance runner ever .

    Rudisha has long strides; he goes high with each stride. And his form is impeccable. Where every limb and motion is used to propel him along. I've seen races with him where the other runners were flailing their arms, wasting energy. He (and most other top world class runners) don't waste anything.

Johnny Gray's world record time in the 600 meters has stood for 30+ years and even Rudisha couldn't get within 0.3 of that time. But on that day, had JG slowed by 0.75 seconds per 200 meters over the first 600 meters, he would have come through 600 meters in about 1:15 (25 seconds per 200 meters) ‐ I don't think it's impossible for a guy capable of that non-full-out split to run another 200 in 25 seconds.

    Rudisha utilizes a jogging form while the rest looked more like they were trying to sprint. That probably enabled him to keep his pace and not be as tired at the end. How he is able to get a 25 second 200 meter with a jogging form is interesting. I think for someone to beat the record they would have to be able to jog faster than a 25 second 200m.
