Not really saying it as oit of 10 jus shows how dominant they are on the to 10, 15, 20 list ect no one ever says oh he is in the top 8, the always say top 10 top 5 or top 3
My half this weekend was humid and 67 degrees F. Not perfect, but hey, I was able to run a 1:30, so I'm getting "closer" to breaking Kipchoge's record 😂
You’re On it my man. I woke up at 3:30 AM EST to watch the race( As i always do). Yes,Berlin Weather looked Perfect this Time. But missed the presence Of Kipchoge for sure. thanks for the Coverage, We appreciate you. how early did you wake up today( or did you even sleep)? Now, On to my early 8 miles Run.
Crazy to think Kipchoge broke his own world record only 2 years ago. SO much has happened since then. Kiptum hadn’t even run his first marathon yet and wasn’t on anyone’s radar. Nine months ago, who would have guessed that neither (or Bekele) would get an Olympic medal? Insane.
His ability was obviously levels above them all, but his pacing must have been a huge advantage, it's totally insane going out in 1.00.30 as a 2.05 runner and expecting not to suffer through the 2nd half, Kiptum was running at practically threshold for the first half then starting the 2nd ready for a straight half marathon race, what's unbelievable though is that he could open in 60.45 and then effortlessly glide through the 2nd half well under an hour, something no other athlete has ever even dreamt of - really makes you wonder what he was capable of but I think sub 2 was in his reach for sure
I first ran the Berlin Marathon in 1984. Around 7,297 finishers, a printed program booklet and a printed certificate in the mail. A few Deutschmarks entry fee. Moving to 2024. 205 Euros entry and 50,000 runners = EUR10,250,000. I sincerely hope that a little bit of money was left over for the organizer after the race, given that there were also quite a few sponsors. Races like these are now really only affordable to hip surgeons and lawyers and not running enthusiasts like myself.
@@saljablo2767 not really except for the crowd in the second half.. Many from earlier corrals were slowing down and it was difficult to wriggle through
But he always does videos like this, where he focuses on one group specifically, he does women races that only involve women races. It his normal format
@@annelieselzf7857 yeah, the Olympics also has both men and women but he would focus on one gender at a time, this is not a new or a bad thing, this race he was focusing on the men’s accomplishments there’s nothing wrong with that
Sure as hell isn’t even close now but he’s still like 23; I’m sure in 10 years he’ll leave the 1500 and 5k behind and become a HM/Marathon runner Both Kenenisa Bekele and Eliud Kipchoge were phenomenal 1500 and 5k runners at the beginning of their career so obviously it’s possible
@theperfecteraser5988 but neither Kipchoge or Bekele is the best marathon runner to date, by the look of it, the earlier you get into it the better, but to even suggest that he might break it is just totally disrespecting Kiptum's legacy, never mind Bekele, Kipchoge, Lemma and others who have devoted years and years of their lives to training specifically for the distance - sure he could be good, but he isn't touching these guys
@@theperfecteraser5988 can't say kipchoge and Bekele were exceptional in 1500. None of them ever won 1500m. I don't remember any 1500m exceptional male who dominated Marathon.
At 4:45 the narrator says "at the half marathon point we had 11 runners under 1 hr and 1 minute" but the graphic has the title "opening 15 Kilometers" which is clearly WRONG!!
My hypothesis why Kipchoge didn't run was due to health scares. While he's getting older, the training for the olympics might've injured him to the point that he might need a longer time to recover.
They say, the easier the course, the harder the race. I think, that's true, if you want to win the race. For the thousands of people, who just want to run sub 4h, sub 3h or sub 2.5h, it's one of the easier runs, because you have lots of pacers and the course isn't that hard. Still harder than downhill Boston of cause 😉.
@@rennleitung_7 I have lived in 4 different countries, I lived in Athens for many years & spent plenty of Sundays lounging on Marathonas beach , Athens is a very hilly city. I spent time in Berlin too, & spent a lot of time happily cycling in the flat city.
Disagree. Kiptum wasn’t a WR challenger until 2022, and then he beats the WR the next year. It’s very much possible that we see a rising talent in the next years become a WR challenger 1-2 seasons after. The marathon has never brought more people. It’s more popular than ever and the technology is growing fast. Assuming the distance is finished is just moronic.
@@Stellar-Cowboybut before Kiptum, Kipchoge and Bekele had been going strong for a decade, Kiptum came along and seemingly carried on the torch from Kipchoge and then he died suddenly while the other two have reached retirement, we're not gonna see anyone push these guys records for a while, at the moment Lemma, Kipruto and Tola are by far the best on the scene and they can't even open at world record tempo while running huge positive splits - a guy like Kiptum only comes around once in a generation at best, plus he wasn't exactly anonymous, he had run several 58.xx half marathons already and as a big negative split runner with that level of endurance, he was made for the marathon
@@joelmacinnes2391 I completely agree. There is a gap. Kipchoge was marathon king... Unbeatable and unbelievable consistency. We all knew age will catch up with him.. and we hoped to get another unique talent then just on time Kelvin kiptum showed up at Valencia marathon and everyone knew this is the man to succeed kipchoge. Unfortunately he ran just 3 historical marathons and we lost the heir at young age. We are still waiting for such unique talent to come around. Meanwhile there is a gap.
No body with the talent and work to break Kelvin Kiptum record. Not now maybe in future. It will take a very talented hardworking athlete to break that record. If kelvin was alive most likely he would have lowered that record to even under 2hrs. We were waiting to see him race in Berlin. May he RIP.
Hey, I like your content but was really disappointed that the focus was just on the men's marathon, especially when the women ran 2h16 to win the race. Would have great to have equal coverage of both races, particularly when womans sports need support and promotion amongst the sporting community.

Great time. Absolutely something to be proud of, no matter what your goal or previous times were.
