I do agree that his knees are in better shape than the ones of the average joe, but there's a limit on how much your knees benefit from continuous stress throughout your life.
Could 100 IST posters beat him in a relay? 26.2 miles divided by 100 is a little more than 400m per poster, and 4:40 is 70 seconds per 400m. I don’t think there’s 100 guys here who can run a 70 second 400m.
He came through the first 5k in 14:14. A marathon is a little more than 8 5ks long. There are plenty of division 1 teams that don’t have 8 guys who can average 14:14 for 5k. The guy is on a different level.
>70 seconds per 400m
Holy frick, imagine doing this for 40km, insanity. Easily the most impressive athletic feat of all time.
I can run sub 70s 400m split but barely.
The story behind this one is really funny. They don't hunt like this at all and were really confused as to why the director of the documentary wanted them to recreate this scene, of course it was all faked.
There are currently no living tribes that still practice persistence hunting and we've never had contact with any tribe that had done so in the past.
People are racist and desperately want to believe that Africans are still hunting animals like this. Any other depiction of Africans makes people seethe.
I can see why you'd think that but white people fricking worship the idea that humans are persistence hunters. The white people who read that one book about persistence hunting would literally cum in their pants if they saw it happen in real life.

I can do that! For 800m even. Whos in? Cardiogays unite
I respect pro marathoners/ultramarathoners more than any athlete.
I genuinely cannot even comprehend what's going on inside their brains to not only complete marathons, but do it at paces faster than most athletes would struggle to run a mile
>Honestly this is more impressive than any weight lifting record
Yeah, but most people have no idea how fast he is running. Most people cannot actually comprehend how fast that is - your commercial gym treadmills don't even go as fast as he is running... for 2 hours.
Everyone on IST should go to a track today and try to run this pace for a single lap. This is fricking unreal. Like the world DL record could be pulled by two guys working together who aren’t even elite. There’s maybe 20 guys on the planet who can do a half marathon at the pace this guy did for a while one.
Fricking hell they wont even come close. People actually think PEDs are the equivalent of strapping a fricking inline 4 and a set of wheels to your butthole.
To anyone who actually thinks like this: take PEDs bro, why wouldn't you? Go smash those records, it's FREE MONEY>
He's likely highly dehydrated. For most runners it's a good idea to stay hydrated but if you're going for a WR you need to min/max the benefits of hydration vs the weight saving of having less water in your body.
ok
Good bye knees
dude runs more daily than your shitty knees will walk in an entire year and will continue to do so until you die
cope, enjoy having your knees utterly destroyed by your thirties
cope, he is 37 and still the best.
I do agree that his knees are in better shape than the ones of the average joe, but there's a limit on how much your knees benefit from continuous stress throughout your life.
Who cares what you think
Idk, dude weighs like 110 pounds.

If you had 100 anons who ran track in College maybe, but Kipchoge is a fricking animal.

Do the IST posters get to train for it?
A 70 second 400m is really far removed from elite, quite easy to get there.
Definitely not elite, but also definitely not something most posters here could achieve in a short period of time.
I wonder how many cardiochads we have on the board. 70 seconds is really easy, I ran a 60 second 400m without trying in freshman year of high school.
now imagine a group of 20 of these guys hunting an animal
This is why humans are chads
Don't need to imagine, that's what they do in the off season

The c**t has shoes one too, take them frickers off if it's supposed to be traditional

garbage video

He looks starved, no shoulders
Shoulders are not aero
The goggins guy is more impressive, unironically can run 100km easily while still having muscles and extra weight on him.
I respect pro marathoners/ultramarathoners more than any athlete.
I genuinely cannot even comprehend what's going on inside their brains to not only complete marathons, but do it at paces faster than most athletes would struggle to run a mile
They’re killing themselves. Still extremely impressive.
Can he do it on a mountain with weight on his back?
He's not a trail runner but I'd imagine he could transition to being one of the best in a short time period.
With 100lbs on his back?
95 pound Tibetan women can do it, not that impressive
what a god damn machine. Literally cannot believe it sometimes. 2:50 per km fricking hell

>5'6"
did he learn?
Why do you think he's running?
Lol i can easily bench that twink, even my dog is heavier than him
>African long distance runner
>100% state sponsored doping
I never take the times seriously
Cringe. Every high-level athlete is doping. Even snooker players use propranolol.
You could give any other person all of the PEDs in existence and they still couldn't replicate Kipchoge.
Fricking hell they wont even come close. People actually think PEDs are the equivalent of strapping a fricking inline 4 and a set of wheels to your butthole.
To anyone who actually thinks like this: take PEDs bro, why wouldn't you? Go smash those records, it's FREE MONEY>
Even if he's doped to the gills this is still extremely impressive.
Damn imagine how fast he could run away with my bike
He's 30 in that picture. He looks like a corpse.
He's likely highly dehydrated. For most runners it's a good idea to stay hydrated but if you're going for a WR you need to min/max the benefits of hydration vs the weight saving of having less water in your body.
This is also dehydrated.
> Also looks like shit
> Is posing, not running 26 miles
Who cares? He’s pushing the envelope of what a human body can do. Men aren’t meant to look pretty, they’re meant to fly to the moon.
Confirmed men's peak condition is 37 years old
This guy gonna drop dead one day he's a monster
Do you think he roids?
Why couldn't these African runners ever leave Africa is my question.
They did. They became whites and asians.
