LeRon Jon Training, but also our understanding of the human body has greatly increased, from nutrition, to muscle targeting, pace specific workouts, understanding of slow/fast twitch. The list goes on. I’m excited to see what the next few decades can bring!
It's not like the human genome has magically gotten better over the past century. All that increase is due to shoes, specialized diets, not running on dirt (all tracks from that era were literally dirt) MUCH more intense training, and of course, performance-enhancing drugs.
OakleyDoakley Well compared to regular runners or even non-runners, the pace these world-class athletes are going at would be extremely uncomfortable, perhaps sprinting for us. But for these guys, this is just their regular mile pace, they’re just that good.

Here am I running a 5:42 mile thinking I did well and these guys running almost 2 minutes faster lol 😂 this is why you should always be humble. Always someone somewhere better
This is so crazy. Sometimes I'll run on a treadmill at 8.5 mph for a mile and that gets me pretty out of breath as a casual runner. That's like a 7 minute mile. A lot of people are better runners than me no doubt, but seeing a 3:49 mile is just crazy.
As a former "tracker" , ALL of those young Men did excellent ! I could see him getting tired of being forced to be 2nd in line when he knew he could move faster , and then he did.

Did any of the rest of you watch this like me, and think that the Pacesetter was right in the way of a better time? LOL my God all credit and respect to this man and the rest who ran. What an amazing human feat!
How’s it slow though football players don’t run long distance we do short burst of energy over and over again not a constant rate but running is in my genetics
That is some of the finest running that I have ever seen. Hicham El Guerrouj, Eamonn Coghlan,Chairman of the Boards, and Daniel Kipchirchir Komen would be happy to see that.
My best mile was a 4:57 I was 32 years old. I trained hard for like 8 months went from 180lbs to 148 and I'm 6 foot tall it got to be seriously u healthy the lifestyle I was accustom to to obtain the speed I needed. Sub 4s are mind blowing
@@thehimanshu195my current pr is 5:38. Stamina/endurance is a big deal but also your lactate threshold. That means how long you can go before your muscles start getting that dreaded burning sensation. So yeah, just run a lot, go on long, moderate pace runs and recover well(listen to ur body. If you’re too sore you should take a rest or massage the area, stuff like that). Sry for the paragraph but yeah there’s a lot that comes into play for better performance in the mile/long distance races.
I know I'm surprised. I, personally, myself, am an olympic runner who won gold. I ran a mile of 3:02 and only didn't break the 3 minute barrier because of racism.

remember when they thought it was physically impossible to run a 4 min mile! do ya!
Do you? Like remember? The 4 min barrier was broken in 1954. Over 65 years ago. Are you like 75? Or 70 but were a 5 year old athletics fanatic?

The history of Oregon milers is really something, going back to Dyrol Burleson...1964 Olympics
finally posted this video. thank you !!
may I ask why the guy in first place got off the track at 3:15 in the video
I’m assuming he was a pacer, to keep first place at a certain speed
Seriously he was flying
That's a good pacer
Great running and great commentary. Thanks!
Just takes a quick edit, but FloTrack is like “FU, we stand by the vid title!”
The pacer was a beast!
Great race Cheserek, nice push from the other competition also!

It may not look like it but on that second lap is when everyone starts losing they're energy I feel them
Why does he have to look back all the time when he's running after the clock
because he didn't want to get passed
Because racers collide. Also he would have had a better run time if that one guy didn’t block him for half the race
