2015 world cross country championships men's race

march the 28th 2015

[@AllorNone23]

It blows my mind that Cross Country hasn't been in the Olympics since the 1920's. With all the stupid shit featured in the both the winter and summer Olympics, something as bad ass as Cross Country isn't included? Pull your heads out of your asses Olympic Committee. I love this event.

[@ashrive]

Yeah, especially the events where chubby people throws sticks and stones. They should scrap steeplechase in particular and replace it with cross country.

[@htuy42]

but steeplechase isnt an event where chubby people chuck sticks and stones :P

[@michael-1382]

Steeplechase is one of the best races!

[@spookyghost9806]

"taxi there please mate"

[@user-em5vi5eg8w]

They have cross country in modern heptathlon or something like that

[@ruaidhribrosnan7076]

Would be great to see this in the Olympics

[@haydensmith6552]

Ruaidhri B Used to be in the Olympics but it was often entirely too hot and heat strokes and passing out was common so they removed it. Also some countries did not have a good courses.

[@amusix8386]

winter games?

[@alastairsmith7756]

@@amusix8386 good idea

[@cicirunner]

Very exciting! Cross country is way more exciting than the track 10k. They should replace that event in the Olympics. It surprised me that some of the guys that got lapped were even in the race. The winners did 12k in just under 35 minutes while some of the slower runners had not even finished 10k yet.

[@vide0gameCaster]

My god their speed is phenomenal!

[@wiredmadness]

Ease of speed. It's beautiful to watch these guys run.

[@lctagarcia8625]

I love cross country !!! 😍😚😙😘

[@Tompsf1]

Talk about a sprint start!

[@randyevermore9323]

Deeply insightful commentary from Paula and Steve. What a joy to listen to them.

[@Syvmana]

Do you see any heel strikers? No.

[@DavidBoston464]

***** Yuck.... This study leaves out so much relevant information....

[@arontesfay2520]

***** You may site a study but the problem is that all top distance runners naturally use a forefoot strike so there is probably something to it in regards to form.

[@iitsCrush]

While racing in spikes you will naturally not heel strike

[@oducks5820]

Thats because they are running so fast they naturally run on their forefoot. Even natural heel strikers will run on their forefoot at that speed.

[@ime7371]

heel striking is wrong, take your shoes off and run and you will see

[@ivansanders8459]

Steve Cram has to have one of the best jobs in the world - commentating on most of the major events, and not least - often sitting next to Paula!

[@tgjolga]

+Theo Browning Sure?

[@szymon6207]

Okay

[@Ticoboeren]

[@destinedtobedifferent9921]

Wtf I thought I was watching a 5k...

[@ethan3246]

BLUEDRAGONFLY 5k is for high school cross country

[@kumboahmed3992]

Why dont you show the others. Not fair filming. I would like to see how others are doing. Come oooon😮😮

[@teedaloeung4196]

in the beginning of the race I usually jog a normal speed and when towards the end of the race I sprint and use all the energy

[@ben3247]

Jogging at the begginning...how's that been workin for you? :)

[@razcohen5590]

What is it about kenyans and ethiopians that produce such great runners? Unbelievable! So fast...

[@jettbrandes3929]

Genetics and evolution

[@jpersonen98]

+Jett Brandes bullshit. They train harder than everyone else

[@123456sickofcounting]

+Joel B nope, genes is a big part

[@InfiniteOG]

Proper diet and they never run on roads, always dirt and grass so injury or pain is never a problem

[@ethananderson8720]

+Joel B you can't really train to be fast

[@maggienyambura4614]

Proud of Kenyan athletes

[@davidsouthey4004]

How many laps was this? I used to a start/ finish distance.

[@tc0358]

wow how much miles is this you run this speed in the eight hundreds

[@nathanscottshoemaker2554]

Best coarse ever!

[@szymon6207]

Have poland mens ?

[@TheGreatslyfer]

Just wondering how well does this sort of cardio transfer to other sports in which some form of sprinting/anaerobic exercise is involved?
I read from a guy online that he used to do alright in long distances but would fatigue after 5 minutes in basketball.
And basketball doesn't require much sprinting.

[@nicknjegac]

+TheGreatslyfer Different people have different muscle fibre types, think Usain Bolt vs a marathoner. Usain Bolt has fast twitch muscle fibers, meaning he is able to exert a high amount of power of a short amount of time. A marathoner on the other hand has slow twitch fibers, meaning he can exert a lower amount of power but of a lot longer period of time. In the end, Bolt wouldn't be able to run as fast as the marathon in a marathon and vice-versa. You think about a basketball athlete, what are they doing a lot of the time? Explosive movements: short runs up and down the court, and powerful, explosive passes. Cardio and aerobic fitness is still extremely important but when it comes to specific sports like basketball, which involve short amounts of time on the court, your muscle type will help you out no end. Hope this helps

[@TheGreatslyfer]

Nick Njegac So does this mean I can only be explosive or have good endurance?

[@nicknjegac]

+TheGreatslyfer that's all of it in a nutshell. Our muscle fibres will dictate what we are good at in the end, so you could be better at endurance sports or you could be better suited to a sport like basketball, but that doesn't mean you should give something up because proper train can still help you out a lot with that. Besides, aerobic capacity is still extremely important in basketball, and power can still be important is endurance to surge or sprint

[@TheGreatslyfer]

Nick Njegac So practically increasing my VO2 is good for those sports.
Also I used to jog frequently for about like 20 minutes 3 times a week when I was younger, but I felt like it didn't affect my endurance in football.
I could sprint alright, but my cardio was shit, and others probably didnt jog like I did

[@surubaid1]

Maybe you did Chris, but I didn't. You can start however you want, but the main thing is how you move through the pack.

[@asalsomalilanderhargaysaaw6850]

We support Ethiopian I like Ethiopian are good people

[@loganbullock9268]

[@dagda16]

+MattSk8s39 12k

[@korbinwolf8623]

it sucks running that fast because i had to be on my varsity team and had to sprint for like 1 minute and had to run 2 miles but i got first with 11 minutes 48.09 seconds

[@AggaliciousHD]

+Korbin Wolf you got first with a 5:54 pace?

[@briceinator5045]

+Korbin Wolf Thats kinda eh

[@andersenle6753]

thats bullshit, you wouldn't be on varsity with an 11:49 2 mile. You would be on JV, and even on JV you wouldn't get first. Maybe if everyone else sucked you would be placed 1st in the Frosh but not with Varsity or JV. Stop trying to lie and act like your a pro runner

[@platinumpineapple9943]

lmao on my varsity team u have to he able to hit sub 17:30 and sub 11:25. im 3rd on my team, 2nd on my team as of this season. we are 6A
