Hicham el Guerouj the Moroccan Knight 1 mile run world record

[codywhitehead]

when i broke 6 minutes i felt like i was going to die

[mattjorgdbb]

he was running over 16 mph. the average runner goes 10-12mph. 4:48, probably the average mile time for the kind of people who watch this video, requires an average speed of around 12.5mph.

[sokha326]

great commentary! 

[Gnarsicle22]

@RefugeeOfRap of course you did....if ur 7 you would be running faster than a 100meter runner for a whole mile

[sbcistheboss]

A) To the people that think they can run faster than that man, you can't. It's a record that you cannot compete with. Get over yourselves.

B) I thought I was fast with 4:38 minutes. Maybe if I truly push myself, I could get close to his.

[logicisreasonable]

dont u apply to ur point A argument?

[tstruss912]

I would be airlifted to the hospital after one lap.

[music4ismylife8]

I'm 16 an have 3:31 legit no lie call me 690-938-8883

[esopbelac94]

@music4ismylife8 Mutant powers, you have them.

[hazyazn]

2:00 guy said fuk dis

[JD4Trojhans]

@hazyazn hes there to set the pace for his teammate.

[RefugeeOfRap]

im 7 and run 4:09

[SDCBBC760]

im 11 and i already got 4:54

[k2477456]

4:59 and i dont even run that much:)

[pro353]

@k2477456 lies

[k2477456]

@pro353 nope complete truth im a rower and we only run 1 time a week but i still run a 4:59 mile

[pro353]

@k2477456 wow dude you're going places

[loonylovegood27]

oh my god. mine is 7:30

I feel so slow :o wow....

[hellokittykilla]

@loonylovegood27 I know the feeling XD!!!!!!!!!!

[offspringalldaway]

@loonylovegood27 Pat yourself on the back that's better than over 90% of the people at my high school.

[a0578877]

My mile record is 4:25 minutes. I advice runners to pace them selves. Strive consistently on the track and out doors. Watch ur diet and nener give up.

[utubehackerz]

He makes it look so easy.

[2fast4u422]

Never mind my old record just ran a mile in 4:58

[happylogmim]

that's amazing, he runs faster then some poeple can run the 100 O_O

[CPloverish]

my mile record is 5:39.

[RayLopezable]

Any advice to run faster miles? I can only make about 6:50's

[KHaozRage]

@RayLopezable My record is 6:45 xD I shaved off times by maintaining a good pace, just breathe. Its all about breathing, because once you get that down, on the last lap you just burn all you got.

[LMaster1]

@RayLopezable Mileage, mileage, mileage. Most top milers work there way up somewhere above 60 miles per week, with some as high as 80 or 90. Obviously it's a gradual build-up over months, or years especially if your in HS. Good mileage goals for a HSer would be 30-40 as a freshman, 40-50 as a sophmore, 50-60 as a junior, and 60+ as a senior.

There is more to it than that, but that's probably the biggest piece of the puzzle, especially if your not already a serious runner.

[iDom29]

Freshman in HS 4:36 varsity 1st team all county

[TheGeneseeRiver]

mine is 5:02 hope to break 5 minutes real soon

[2fast4u422]

my mile record is 6:15, sup!

[MrFootballfanatic45]

I ran a 6:09 in PE today

[SurfinHollister]

The 1500m is the most brutal event in the Decathlon. I have to give credit to you distance runners.

[orangechicken1381]

I go to a school where 4:50 for a mile is considered varsity. So if ur saying a 4:30 mile in hs impossible its actually not tht hard. I'm around 4:40 and hopefully this year as a sophomore I can break 4:30

[Mattscil]

@orangechicken1381 The fastest High school mile is 3:53, gl.

[talbott221]

My record is 5:56

[iSmellbak0n]

My mile is 7:20 SWWWWAAAAGGG

[MrTaco1818]

I'm a freshman my record mile is 4:49

[halofifa]

@MrTaco1818 mines 6:30 :( good for you son :)

[asr0ma95]

@themafia306 No its deff possible for a teenager to run a 4:30 mile, i only know of two kids that have done it at my school. And lmao your training for a marathon and your fastest mile was 6:52!? I do short distance in track and my fastest was 5:45! Your ass

[yermommy777]

@asr0ma95 my school record is 4:20

[imrebeccafull]

@yermommy777 my avg mile is 15:20!!!

[dustinengel1]

Also, to all you guys who think you are so great because you have an under 5 minute time: the only guy I know that can break a 4:30 mile is a senior that trains hard everyday and circles his life around running. Also, if you think you are that good, why don't we see you in state meets or national meets? The fastest runner on my team has a 4:50 mile so suck that.

[yermommy777]

@dustinengel1 friend with 4:40 mile and he's a backup runner, and this is high school too.

[dustinengel1]

I finally broke a 6 minute mile yesterday. Keep in mind that I am a freshmen in high school and I'm in cross country right now. My pr is 5:55

[kunbob100]

Suk my nutz cause I ran 566666 miles in 2 to the 30th power Negro

[themafia306]

All of you teenagers on here saying your fastest mile is 4:30 are full of shit! I am 24, training for a marathon, and my fastest mile is still 6:52.5! Do you honestly think that you can all-out sprint for a mile? Try it and see how far you get! I bet you don't even get halfway before you are gasping for air and give up!

[chipan9191]

@themafia306 you have nothing to brag about a 6:52 is horroble. when i was in highschool i ran a 4:57 at the meet before state and that got me 8th place. running marithons doesn't make you good at 1 mile races they're very different you need speed and endourance but you lack speed.

[themafia306]

@chipan9191 I didn't say a 6:52 was good, I just said that it was my fastest. I know it is horrible. But the fastest mile I have ever seen someone run in highschool was a 5:55, so I have a really hard time believing people who say they are under 5:30, let alone 4:30! That is less than a minute shy of a world record that dozens of Olympians have spent their lives training for!

[chipan9191]

@themafia306 highschool has changed. now running under 4:40 is the only way to guarentee a spot at state. they run 2 mile races in under 10:30 and 800m runs in under 2 minutes in highschool. it may be a minute off of the world record but a minute is a lot of time in a mile race much more than it is in a marathon. getting under 4 minutes is a real challange that highschool students can't do but they can and have gotten down to 4:30. look it up if you don't believe me.

[ChristianS1996]

@chipan9191 only 5 people have gotten 4 min and below tat were still in highschool i think. I ran a 5:14 in 8th grade, but with training and hard work i belive that I CAN DO IT!!!!

[xorsher]

@themafia306 He's right. Running sub-fives in high school is almost routine. As a current member of my school's cross-country team, our varsity includes two guys that can complete three miles in under 15 minutes (with 4:30-4:40 mile times), and yet we are still lackadaisical compared to many others. I myself run 5:20, and that's considered "decent".

[ChristianS1996]

@themafia306 dalm dude sorry but that is terrible, even for a mathoner just gotta keep on working on it. Ive never ran a 4:30 mile, but i think soon i might be able to, but im only in 9nth grade people junior and senior have no problem running that.

[jewlover99]

my mile is 4:30. but i can't do it again. but I'm in 6 grade.

[blackrideryc]

@jewlover99 LOLLLL YEAH RIGHT

[jorgeu21498]

@NZmount Cool beans bro.

[talbott221]

that is retarded fast!

[jjbm64]

Oh yah my mile is 4 45 in fourth grade.

Also you should check out my videos

[adidaspredatorjunkie]

@jjbm64 mmmhh and I jumped off the empire state building and lived

[NZmount]

my record is 5:13 and im in 6th grade

[mthimmesch1]

Lauri966 that record isn't that fast. O run a 5:23 mile.

[mthimmesch1]

Hahahahahahahaha I'm in 7th grade and im 12 too and I have a 5:23 mile! Beat that loser. I run your mile time everyday for intervals! Hahahahahahahaha!

[cmccaig247]

8s are ok if your doing more than 6 miles.

[Rickstyle911]

If your in middle school and you run a mile in 5:30 or less then your on ur way.

[LikeChooses]

My record is 0:00 and im in 69th grade.

[dayanalopez257]

my record is 5:50 and i am in 7th grade

[bynems1]

8 minute miles are good for long-distance training, bad for running 1 of them

[it8nky0u]

No one gives a fuck how fast you ran the mile

[randalpaigew]

dand, i thought 8 minute miles were good

[PatrickKerney97Beast]

@randalpaigew 8s are slow as crap

[MrWeaselmen]

Ran a sub 6 minuet 5 miler last weekend ps i run for the #1 hs team in the us. Doubt me look up christian brothers academy lincroft nj

[SurfinStang]

@MrWeaselmen want a cookie?

[B3hahahaB3]

My record is 5:39 nd I'm in 8th grade

[vvilonex]

@B3hahahaB3 mine is 6:47 and im in 7th grade but if you were to look at me you wouldnt think im very athletic btw im not overweight im just not skinny :P

[CutThroat192]

@B3hahahaB3 You'll feel amazing once you break 5 minutes. Then you want that feeling more, so you just keep getting better and better. I personally just ran a 5:12 for the first time, so I need a bit more work.

[Blacktigre6969]

I ran a 5:58 last weekend

[lourie966]

Our school record for junior high is 5:53.. What about youguys?

[Blacktigre6969]

@lourie966 6:02, im in HS school now and our record is 4:12

[itsuwakicha]

[bmxshreders13579]

[zw0ecool]

So is staying as close as you can to the inner part of the track a technique for running the mile faster?

[MafiaMarioProduction]

My fastest mile is 5:55 :(

[hygume]

amature

[hygume]

amature



[stargazer5511]

God, I'm running a 12 minute mile...

i suck.

[MonsterEnergyLover89]

i thought a mile was 1600m

[hibyemypie]

I thought that my 5:59 was good.... there go my running dreams. >.<

[SuperRumpelstiltskin]

@hibyemypie 5:59 is good.

[lughanodlum]

imagine beating the world record and losing the race...that dude must be pissed

[TennisXCountry]

@lughanodlum yeah he would be pissed because he won 50k cash

[JD4Trojhans]

what do the pacemakers do?

[athleteization]

@JD4Trojhans They set the pace. If an individual wants to run a target time, say the world record for example, the pacemaker will hold that designated pace for 2 or 3 laps to assist the runner in running the correct pace.

[coolkidowen214]

i once ran a mile in 15 seconds

[falzar3000]

Pffft, my best mile was like 20:00. I could beat these guys if I don't slow down to not feel bad about beating my PE class though XD

[abney317]

I can barely beat that time with a bike

[paulsballsify]

Why do distance runners always look so emaciated?

Sprinting is where it's at.

[XGunthinsX]

@p8ntballer971 my ass.

[MMegaNowroz]

they look so slow but if u run next to them they will be a bullet compared to u lol!

[cicirunner]

@MMegaNowroz They look slow with the camera zoomed out. If the camera has a side view of the runners and pans with them, you can get a good sense of how fast they're actually running.

[p8ntballer971]

my raider coach runs a 4:09 mile and my friend runs a 5:05 mile i run a 6:00 flat trying to get it to a 5:45

[tylerspiro]

My friend in 8th grade is on varsity and has a 4 53 mile

[alextejero100]

Im in 7th and my fastest is 5 48 not to bad

[TSJEKKIA]

Has this been beaten?

[NICHOLAS69380]

[SuperSkierdude]

This is so crazy...it will be very hard to beat

[traling55]

[mager258987]

@monkeysgonewild1231 I ran the mile in 18 seconds while I was just an egg in my mother's ovaries.

[kappaferret]

@mager258987 I was running marathons before my dad was even born

[Gatorade414]

[tzivalic1]

Fuck running. That's why cars were invented.

[cponly360]

Running is such a painful sport, I don't know why I do it

[feetlicker1234509876]

I thought my mile of 5:45 was good jesus christ

[strides1000]

@feetlicker1234509876 running a mile in 5 min is great especially for high schooler

[envoisard]

my career best is 6:19, but at their pace its literally sprinting 100% of the time

[SungLung]

[JMEsLittleBro]

[chocolatethundaish]

That's freakin insane. If I ever ran a mile that fast my head would explode as soon as I crossed the finish line.

[LamborghiniOmar]

This is insane i thought 6 mins was fast

[Huanold]

I got a 7 minute mile.... Barefoot.

[CRunchizPro]

@Huanold whats so bad about being barefoot, I would run my 6 minute mile faster barefoot then i did with running shoes on

[Huanold]

@CRunchizPro nothing's so bad about being barefoot. it rocks! i run on the grass only cuz its been pretty damn hot lately and the streets are on fire.

[danthedude12345]

this is insane! my fastest time is 5:12 and i thought i did good

[monkeyfart105]

My best official time was 5:27 on a very hot day, but I run the 800m the best.

[PundlaBear]

Ran a 5:50 and was happy....

:(

haha this is insane

[lamochila66]

[MarkusAvenegas]

[Ewilliamk]

[Thehappypages]

I ran a 7 minute mile and i felt like a god. this makes me sad.

[onnz]

@Thehappypages don't worry about it kid just got to play with your breathing and pushing yourself. I went from 12 to 4.

[43211234qwerty]

the 2 dislikes were the pacers



[TheRealEmskiHelp]

I don't run, I only play tennis, and my friend challenged me to run a 1.2 mile in 6 minutes, and I did it in 5:21 seconds... at the last 30 seconds, I felt like I wanted to walk, I kid you not.

[prefontaine618]

in junior high i never even broke 5:30 in the mile or 2:35 in the 800 and i just finished my highscool career wtih a 4:22 and a 1:56 in the 8......moral of the story, make goals, stay consistent,and do the little things...your time will come

[blablabla313313]

my best time is 5:27 and im 14 and have no muscle, just bone. i can so beat this once i get some muscle :)

[0itdoesntmatter1]

@blablabla313313 muscle isnt the only thing that u would need u would also need endurance which has nothing to do with muscle

[blablabla313313]

@0itdoesntmatter1 - i have tons of endurance, i am sp short but i dont stop running and i stay at constant speed :)

[Th3Black0men]

@0itdoesntmatter1 Actually, endurance has alot to do with the type of muscle you have. Generally, the higher density of mitochondria in your muscle tissue means higher ATP production, which translates into higher energy and endurance. Although, you do need to train your cardio system as well so that your body gets used to supplying your muscles for that long.

[xXxjjmanxXx]

2 fat people sat on the dislike button.

[JasonJia11]

@xXxjjmanxXx nah, you probably mean three now, xP

[grnman86]

@xXxjjmanxXx the third dislike was one getting up and falling back down

[LK267]

Soliddddd

[xChuu2u2]
