What an impressive man, 3:47 indoor mile, 7:23 3000, 12:38 5k, 26:31 10k, and now a 57:30 Half. These are all crazy achievements, either world record, within a few seconds of a world record, or a top 10 all time performance. The versatility he has across so many distances, and the decade long longevity is absolutely insane!
@@ThePhantomDevil it was the half marathon, marathon, 10k and 5k in Nairobi. So hence Nairobi half marathon. Sponsored by standard chartered. The Nairobi City Marathon was earlier in the year :)
Happy to see Kejelcha get the spotlight. Such a phenomenal athlete with phenomenal range. And especially after his own federation screwed his 10000m at the Olympics.
@@rorykoehler9018 I know what you mean. I volunteer at a weekly 5k event and frequently the people at the front look like they’re having a leisurely jog and those a few minutes behind seem to be working so much harder
Phenomenal performance from Kejelcha - I'd like to see how he fares in the marathon because some of these splits are unbelievable. Also great to see Mateiko coming in second, remember he paced the first 30k of each of Kiptum's marathon majors - glad he's still delivering after losing a close friend and training partner
Yomif Kejelcha also ran a 1'500m indoor when Samuel Tefera broke the indoor 1'500m world record before Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Yomif Kejelcha was just off the indoor world record of Hicham El Guerrouj finishing second behind Samuel Tefera.
In fairness Kajelcha has been concistently near the top for years so it's great to see him run so well and break the record. His times from the 1500 up to half marathon are crazy.
Kejelcha's stride has always been thing of beauty like he's flying. Absolutely amazing his mile record is 12. fastest ever. But still 5min 30s faster half marathon than Ingebrigtsen
Sooo happy to see Kejelcha land this. He’s a fantastic runner who always races all out and pushes the pace from the gun, but almost always gets outkicked in the end. He has really earned this one!!
5:35 because the official 15k record was run during the Zevenheuvelenloop (Nijmegen), which is a really tough course. It literally means the "seven hills run". No wonder that 15k splits can be faster than that, especially considering that they can have a net downhill (if the last 6.1km has an uphill again so that the entire halfmarathon course is flat)
Honestly, Kejelcha deserves this. Truly world class athlete. Also, this is a quite believable record. He’s been a staple of world class running for quite a while now.
With his advantage in super long stride, I see him breaking 1:59:40 in an official marathon. This guy is built better than anyone else for distance running including kiptum and kipchoge. He broke the half marathon record on a rainy day which will slow you down by around 1% so give him perfect conditions at a Berlin marathon and would not be surprised if he becomes the first man to run under 1:59
I love how I was literally thinking about the half marathon world record yesterday wondering who and what will be the next time to set a new world record for it and then literally the next day it gets broken. I also find it interesting how I’m half French and my name is Etienne and in the top 10 finishers of this race theirs literally a French guy named Etienne in it. Truly remarkable
Gran tiempo de Yomif Kejelcha!! Aunque la rebaja del récord mundial anterior es de apenas 1 segundo,es muy meritorio pues una buena parte de la carrera estuvo acompañada de Lluvia. En mejores condiciones ambientales,este atleta está capacitado para rebajar por mayor margen el RM e incluso romper la barrera de los 57:00 minutos.
Wow! I'm training for my first half in December, and I'm trying for anything less than two and a half hours. I anticipate that it'll probably be closer to two, but I don't want to set my expectations too high. Under an hour is crazy.
Anyone who's ever laced up running shoes wants to be able to do what Kejelcha just did - push yourself so deep into the pain zone and endure it longer than everyone else.
I've run in today. It was raining all way, just non stop. Puddles were all over plus headwind. Anyway, I enjoy the race and it has been my second time. The weather truly sucks
kelvin kiptum ran valencia half in 2020 and 2021 placing 6th and 8th respectively. seemed destined for mediocrity until he jumped to the marathon in 2022 and was able to run 2:01:53, 3rd fastest time ever. then he ran 2:01:25 and then 2:00:35 becoming the fastest marathoner of all time, all without ever having won a single major title, medal, or championship along the way. literally out of nowhere. His 10k pb is 28:27 for god's sake, just beating out Agnes Ngetich- the fastest 10k WOMAN of all time. amazing!
These sub-58 minutes clockings should make transition to Marathon easier one would think. Kipchoge, Bekele or Kiptum weren't even close to this time yet produced fast times over 26.2 miles.
Thanks Japan for. The greatest baseball player in history is in the World Series. Japan won the world baseball championship 🏆. Comment often. And bring friends with you. There is no reason Japan is not a world class running power with a unique running training science center Your current pin point landing on the moons has improved rocket science to the point that a Japanese astronaut may be the first person to run on Mars. And that is what running is all about. We need to know the ways the body reacts under stress down here to run up there. Thank you.❤
It is almost completely flat, only a few metres of hight difference throughout the whole city... good temperature (not too cold, not too hot, not windy)... and track layout includes long straights
All the top runners dope. All top fighters/sports stars dope. They just let them got on with it as the general public is to naive to understand this somehow.
Kiplimo needs to come and take back his world record. He had a bad pacing strategy when he ran his 57:31. Ngetich was impressive. Came very close. But unfortunately...
I'm really happy for him. Kejelcha usually pushes the pace from the beginning and gets outkicked by someone else. Now, that's his moment of glory.
💯. Happy for him from Kenya. 👏🏾👏🏾
Couldn’t agree more, he finally got his big result and it’s well deserved
You’re bang on. The Olympic 10k was a big example of this.

Congratulations to YOMIF KEJELCHA! It's your time to shine ✨️.
I just ran the Nairobi half marathon today. I can’t believe how fast these runners times are. Crazy !
what time did you finish?
@@StarWarsBattleFron 1:43:06 finish time, net time 1:42:xx (cause it took him 15 sec to get past the start line, due to cue-ing)
Congratulations. In deed it was fast. I was marshaling the elite ladies 21km and even on a bike, that pace was high.
Nairobi Marathon was on 18th Sep. Today was Standard Chartered Marathon.

I wish I looked like that when I run! Looks so relaxed running at a pace beyond what I can sprint at
They don't even look tired.
I watched in person today. The guys in 30th position look like they are running much quicker
@@rorykoehler9018 I know what you mean. I volunteer at a weekly 5k event and frequently the people at the front look like they’re having a leisurely jog and those a few minutes behind seem to be working so much harder
Thanks for another amazing video TRP ! This was gold ! Love your work always
Way to go Yomif! He has been knocking on the door for a while now. Breakthrough performance!
I love that moment when they put the hammer down on the field. Wow!
Love Kejelcha's fluid running style. And, congratulations for breaking the world record in the... RAIN!

Kejelcha. Congrats ~~~
Una locura los tiempos de estos atletas. En cuanto a Keyelcha salió a buscar esta carrera de principio a fin. Realmente espectacular.
Letesenbet Gidey was incredible. Ngetich tried like heck to break the world half marathon record and just missed by 12 seconds.
Even second place finisher got in the top 6.
In fairness Kajelcha has been concistently near the top for years so it's great to see him run so well and break the record. His times from the 1500 up to half marathon are crazy.
Great 👍 job Yomif kajelcha.
kejelcha is crazy wit it
Great seeing Kejelcha snag this record and victory. The picture of running efficiency. Betting there'll be more such shining moments for this guy.
Kejelcha's stride has always been thing of beauty like he's flying. Absolutely amazing his mile record is 12. fastest ever. But still 5min 30s faster half marathon than Ingebrigtsen
I NEED Gidey to come back!!
We all need but info about her is non existent.
Sooo happy to see Kejelcha land this. He’s a fantastic runner who always races all out and pushes the pace from the gun, but almost always gets outkicked in the end. He has really earned this one!!
Kejelcha is seemingly always a threat to break almost any distance running WR
The Best Super Kejelcha
Dude, that 5k kick of Kejelcha 🤩 Agnes's effort was incredible. Really loving your coverage in these vids.
Bro did Borega dirty at 1:55
what a great year for running
Gidey hope you are doing well. Would love to see her return to running. ❤
He kicked 😂😂 the pace makers 🔥🔥🔥
7:46...slight typo in his 5000m time. 12.38 I assume. Great stuff again. Love this channel
It's his road 5k time, not his track 5000m time.those are always slower than their track times.
@@Kipchoge475 no chance?
@@colmsheahan6991 I'm not getting you
@@Kipchoge475 that's surely not his road PB. Jogging for him.
@@Kipchoge475 his road PB is 13.00

3:55 Agnes Ngetich is on another level
still not on letesenbet's level lol
The world record was broken twice within one second; the difference between the three fastest runners in history is just two seconds!😬
Honestly, Kejelcha deserves this. Truly world class athlete. Also, this is a quite believable record. He’s been a staple of world class running for quite a while now.
Kejelcha deserves this. Congrats on your WR!
That pace alone is ridiculous

Congratulations Kejelcha, class A athlete, God bless you.
Ran a 12:38 in Oslo and broke the world record in the half. Both in the same season. Impressive.
so amazing for someone to do a HM in that time period, lets wait till someone does a sub 55 min HM

thought so that was him, what time did he finish?
@@Robzabest2562:04 according to his Strava
1s is painful for previous holder
i like how he runs his first 5k split as fast as his 5k pr

These guys are awesome
@total running production never disappoint on comments on this running sports (BIG comments on my opinion abbas adane hassane)
Road & Track golden era!!!
Can’t believe Gidey’s WR was already 3 years ago… time flies so fast…
TRP you could do a video about pacers just an idea
It says his 5k is 13:38, I think you need to subtract a minute from that . At 7:51 in video
Funny at 8.18. Guy looks over his shoulder. "Is that a woman? No way a woman's going to beat me. Accelerate."
🙃
That guy may have been a pacer for Agnes.
@andrewmurphy2289 I believe it was one of her pacers checking back to see if she was still keeping up because she was starting to struggle.
Crazy especially considering the rain
Let this be testament that WR aren’t meant to be broken by nearly 2 minutes!!! Ruth, your on the chopping block.
Must be a super good course
Imagine how much faster the men's records would be if they could have pacers like the women have
We are not too many years from having bipedal robots that can run at the right speed. We may know soon
You mean cyclists?
kelvin kiptum ran valencia half in 2020 and 2021 placing 6th and 8th respectively. seemed destined for mediocrity until he jumped to the marathon in 2022 and was able to run 2:01:53, 3rd fastest time ever. then he ran 2:01:25 and then 2:00:35 becoming the fastest marathoner of all time, all without ever having won a single major title, medal, or championship along the way. literally out of nowhere.

Bro Kiptum casually split 59min in marathon in second half, and you think he was not even close 😂
@@lowzyyy he didn't run sub 58 for half marathon and you missed the whole point
@@bilalhussain2526if he can run 59 minutes in a half marathon after running a half marathon in an hour, he can definitely break 58 in a half marathon
@@lytesknvince Definitely, he can, this isn't about Kiptum, it's about Kiplimo, Kejelcha stepping-up to the Marathon and do wonders
Imagine your world record getting broken by 1 second 💀
I cant even run at 2:45 per km! These guys are unreal!
How much low could the half marathon record go? 56:30 sounds entirely possible by Jakob in several years
No way. Even breaking 57 is Out of reach for some years😊
Bruh!
I knee he can do it because hes top speed is very fast very excited for this race and now he got world record
All these records being broken left right and centre, TRP can’t afford to take a break!
These recent WR times are insane! Was there another big leap in the shoe technology?
Juice, juice and more juice😂
Even playing field
Wonder how jacob feels about this after how he went in his half marathon, especially with yomif's indoor mile record as well as this
Wow. If you told me Kejelcha would set a world record, I would expect it to be in a much shorter race (e.g. 1500m).
4:25 per mile is ridiculous. I can’t even run a 400m in that
Monster athletes
Valencia deserves to be a major in marathon too, i think they have a quicker course than Berlin or Chicago
無冠の帝王だったヨミフ・ケジェルチャがついに世界記録！

@@michaelp8856 oh lol
Awesome performance. Love to see a world record broken.
So I can barely break 15 for the 5k and they can hold sub 14? Should I just start training for the half instead to get my 5k down?
Just give up. 15 is slow for a 5k
How do you trust any results from runners from this part of the world at the moment with so many doping bans 🤷♂️
We all know they dopping but we enjoy WR anyway 😅
All the top runners dope. All top fighters/sports stars dope. They just let them got on with it as the general public is to naive to understand this somehow.
Having pacers is lame. So much easier to follow and not have to break the wind or set the pace.
Kiplimo needs to come and take back his world record. He had a bad pacing strategy when he ran his 57:31.
Ngetich was impressive. Came very close. But unfortunately...
