  • How long could you hang with Eliud Kipchoge? Attendees of the 2018 Chicago Marathon expo got the chance to find out-with some hilarious results. Runners were invited to maintain Kipchoge’s 2:01:39 marathon speed for 200 meters on the 20-foot-long treadmill, which is making stops at each of the World Marathon Majors races.

      You have either trained in track & field or you haven't - there is no, I'm a good athlete, I'm in shape, I can do this - you can, but you won't last long and your form falls apart immediately. I ran the 800 & 1500 for 2 years in high school - at the time, I was an elite level soccer player and in better shape than anyone I knew - until I started training track. We trained intervals over and over at a 28,30,32-second 200-split pace - 34 was almost slow motion - and that is why it looks so easy for her. High school boys can hold that pace for 1 to 1 1/2 miles. I thought a lot about his pace when he later broke the 'unofficial' 2-hour marathon record - I personally believe it is the greatest physical achievement of any kind ever by a human being. The only possible way this was achieved was to approach the marathon distance from a track-split-perspective, like he did, and then pick the 200-pace (34seconds) that he believed was doable and then figure out how to do it. I can actually understand personally why this 34-second pace was picked - it's doable when you train - it keeps you just on the razors-edge safe side of aerobic failure - once you are 32 and below, you are on the anaerobic death march to failure. I look back now as a 50-year old to what a 28-second 200 pace is, convert it to a treadmill mph speed, and I'm in disbelief that I actually ran that fast. If you went to any gym in the world, and set the treadmill to 15mph (if it could go that high), and you started running on it, the entire gym would stop and watch thinking you were insane - and it's just the pace highschool track kids train at.

      thats not right. it's 211 consecutive 200m races. 200m = 0.2km, a marathon is 42.2km (actually .195 but for simpicity we'll say it's .2) 42.2 / 0.2 = 211. so he runs 211 consecutive 34sec 200m races.

      Treadmill is also much easier btw, because the machine is providing the forward momentum (as opposed to real life where your muscles provide the momentum).
