Nike+: Pace training with Paul Tergat

[immaaufdiefresserauf]

its funny how he runs on the balls of his feet, instead of his heels, not needing this kind of shoes.. and them fuckers don´t mentioning it! thats what makes him such a good runner. and it´s easy to learn. nike+? i don´t even use a clock or sth. when i´m running, can´t you guys just listen to your body? and, i am so cool, i even did this speedplay since ever, without knowing it had a name, just for fun.

[The88Nomad]

I just love watching these guys, they're super class athletes.

I will never buy into the crap these Corporation bribe them to advertise.

It has been scientifically that people run best on barefoot!

These guys are humble runners, they became World Class through effort, not through iphones or the latest running shoes.

Please look up Born to Run by Christopher McDougall on TEDtalks etc.

[cowsrawesome1]

"WHOA!!.....that was good" lol

[TheDryve]

Nike+ has changed my life! Went to never running to my first 10K in under a month! Hopefully running my first half this fall and full in spring :)

[Elantry]

Fartlek is Swedish, but it is serious running none the less. ;-) It's a from of spontaneous interval training developed for the Swedish track team in 1937, after repeatedly losing to Finland in the 20's, according to Wikipedia. Literally: Fart-lek = speed-play/game. Swed. "Fart" has nothing to do with the English word "fart", but is related to "fare" as in "farewell". For the nerd herd. And this guy is cool.

[junkano]

5:30 is just above my avg pace

but 3:20... is rreally something...

[Vanky20000]

@junkano LOOOL 3:20 ?? LOOOL I'll run like 100 yards with that pace.. omfg ..

[junkano]

@Vanky20000 hehe what are you trying to say? btw i see my post was 5 months ago..my avg pace lays around 4:20 now.

[Vanky20000]

@junkano LOL I'm trying to say that I still suck arse !! Good job, you !

[junkano]

@Vanky20000 thanks lad

[vichuit]

fartlek ftw!

[ThatOneGuy1027]

@silentboyfilms indeed

[incarnation316]

makes me proud to be a runner

[ThatOneGuy1027]

hes really skinny

[Sherpaful]

@ThatOneGuy1027 There's a reason fatso's don't win marathons

[st00pidfart]

Fartleks will make anyone faster.

[xxxDAPROBLEMxxx]

not exactly the best physiology lesson but guess what tergat is can run 6.2 miles at 4:16 mile pace so I'll excuse him

[kingofthemile87]

the best kenyan runner of all time

[josielpontocom]

"Fartlek": Finish word? Is it no Swedish??

[mobytoss]

@josielpontocom Yeah it's Swedish :P

[ultrarunner0476]

@josielpontocom swedish it means "speed play"

[campbpar]

You better be one godly runner to be wearing that selfish, overpriced bullshit.

[campbpar]

Well done, Nike, you sly dog.

[CubanLUVash]

A MARATHON IN 2 HOURS....HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

[karuitha]

Tergat will always be a hero to many in Kenya. we love him

[otnomnoraa]

Your lungs... they are allowed to breathe more hair.

[MrOdsplut]

He's just so obviously such a nice guy as well as a beast - what a legend.

[margaretfinny0]

I love that they have to write what he is saying at the bottom lol, kinda funny to me. I guess it is kinda hard for people who aren't from Africa to understand us. Paul is a great inspiration to all of us here at home!!

[1ofmeful]

cool. i don't know why, but every time i run, i feel a burst of happiness and inspiration come from within once it's all over and i've felt the triumph of reaching the end of my run. the place i live i can't run often, but where i'm going the streets are organized and safe. when i get there i'm gonna run harder than here; where i can only run for around half an hour everyday. go runners who run for the smile!

[rphalmeida]

Um verdadeiro vencedor!

[soccerskills123]

anyone know what kind of shirt he is wearing, i really would like to buy one like that where i can put my ipod in it, msg me if u know anything plzzz. thank you

[1ofmeful]

nike shoes are really good. ever since i got serious about running, they've been the best shoe product i've used.

[jezisss]

i love this guy:D

[JUNKGEE83]

Fartlek is norwegian and means speedplay.

[celoxix]

Thanks Paul

[SawViking]

i was a bit surprised when he said 3:20 on an interval. thats like my 1km interval pace. i would think hed be doing 2,45 or less.

[epd20]

yeah, he's using 3'20 as "not so fast, steady pace" in another ad, but here I think he cares more about us poor people ;-P

[livialoves316]

@SawViking He's trying to make it so that it's something OTHER people could do. If it was HIS interval time, then he'd be running under 2:30 per kilometer. Just sayin!

[SawViking]

@livialoves316

I think that is very valid what you are saying, but would you agree it is quite inconsistent with the other video? When he talks about long runs, and they should be "easy", and the pace was 3:20? Seems to me they only have two signs. one 5:30 and one 3:20.

Anyways, it would be fun to see him do intervals. That would just blow me away. probably lose confidence as well

[rekainlovely]

Great!!! W TERGAT!!!

[bootymanager]

I rate Paul with Geb and Kenenisa as amongst the greatest distance runners of all time. I thought he would win marathon gold in Athens. The heat got him and Baldini was too good.

[suriya883]

I think i red he got stomac issues about km30.

don't remember whee i red it

[1lyserg2]

thats good advice....but sometimes i feel like starting stron and later rest......is that bad?

[jonathonpower6666]

that´s what fartlek was meant for... search for fartlek training methods, it gives you speed, and muscle volume... its good to combine fartlek training (repetitions) with long trainings

[1lyserg2]

i read a bit and it looks good...thanx

[pavelkostov]

Yes, warm up is crucial. Even the best runners in the world warm up at very slow paces, 8 or 9 min per mile

[smuthafucka17]

that guy is such a nice classy guy. i love people like him

[winklerwheeles]

thanks for the tips

[chaimoto]

kenya elite runners like tergat are more than happy to train with anyone, they don;t reject you becasue you are a nobody. i used to train with tergat and many many world class runners in Ngong outside nairobi. they advice you and help you in anyway they can. they take care of you like brother or sister. when you are around this guys you forget that they are world class. they make you feel comfortable and they rarely talk about their achievements. wonderful people to be around

[1too3fore]

that's right, I used to be in very good shape and had no problem running with a friend who only could manage 10 min miles, I just hung out and made it my easy day. But I knew others who wouldn't give him the time of day. Not very respectful. One can always train hard any time they want, friendships mean more than a silly run.

[KeKambeng123]

@chaimoto wow! poor me,im asian..

[Useromanch]

good question :)

[seanarrative]

I want to know what kind of music he listens to.

[ParfaitAmour17]

death metal i would assume

[sk8tmisfits]

my mom was siiting next to him in a plane......he came to US to see the election and see president OBAMA winn....he is a very nice man

[slytheron]

Are Kenyans perfect? Nope we are just better than you! Lol

[jonathonpower6666]

if you are kenyan and you run like that i envy you... otherwise your just another bullshiting man taking advantage of your winning athletes

[giu2085]

hahahahaha nice reply mand hahahaha

[GLeNss]

paul tergat is a legend :D

[P0tbum]

love it.. see you later!

[bravo20000102]

i see we have a racist fucker commenting, maybe he should fuck off, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...........

[johnbrandt2007]

steve prefontaine. best runner ever.

where are all the rockstar runners?

[ww1313]

indeed

i like pre but that statement was immature

[TheTruthTTT]

horrible posture?? This is a commercial, not a Olympic race. He himself came a split second behind Haile Gebrselassie. He's an amazing runner.

[gazelle109]

that dude had horrible posture

[MickChapman1986]

yeah i guess thats why he is one of the greatest runners of all time lol

[SeanCitizen]

of course he was making a reference to heroin at the end

[qxxx]

lol :D

[billyscience]

u an idiot u hav no idea about running.

[jamestar01]

whts the song at the end i know it but forgotting it lol

[JESUSinAjar09]

[johnsteryo231]

okgo

[6thkohort]

Fartlek is swedish word ;P

[eliudeliasMX]

[wickedwind112]

It seems that Finnish and Swedish are always mistaken for one another :D

[princewilliam93]

yep:speed play

[osehayim]

White text is really hard to see on the white background.

[Chubachus]

[sometimesidothings]

[tare2222]

Tergat is the man. I met him once, and he was so nice, very humble!

[chenfuyu]

!!! you met him?

he is the best marathoner! EVER

[anbera1]

haile is in my opinion doesn't he have the record still

[svenoftwo]

...I think he's fab!

[FrancescoK]

What? I have been the first to view this? Whoa.

[thewhitekenyan]

i usually hate commercials, but tergat makes it worthwhile.
