@SlighterFacility You stupid moron don't you know what is a joke? !!! Why do you think i would watch this video if I weren't runner myself ??? Now I will explain it again so you and other ppl with IQ below 55 will understand my previous post. I wrote that they sprint all the distance because if any non professional runner look at this, it most definitely look that sprint for them, the velocity that many can't even maintain for 1km. U got it palooka ??
@sm4llbit Dude sorry... I don't know what I was thinking when I responded to your comment like that. I was just mad becuase I am the fastest runner at my school and people were always accusing me of "sprinting" each race, which I wasn't, and it just really bothered me. So sorry to take out all of my anger on you, will you forgive me?
@SlighterFacility While Tadese is not even close to sprinting the guy you responded to is correct...in a manner of speaking.
For the average person, Tadese's pace would be a sprint FOR THEM. 100m at that pace would be 16.75 seconds, and a 400m sprint at that pace would be 67 second pace. The average person grabbed at random from the population doesn't have a chance in hell at a 67 second 400 and probably not 16.75 100m.
Distance runners aren't sprinting, but top ones pace is a sprint to most.
His cadence is "unusually super high". Between 1:20 and 1:40, I counted 35 strides, which would equate to 105 strides per minute. He keeps roughly the same pace throughout this video and seemingly the entire race. As I'm sure you know, 90 strides a minute is an average among professionals.
@THEEVANTHETOON If i may ask, where did you get that info? Because Im trying to find the most efficient running pace myself but cant seem to find any information about it. Im a 800m runner, so do you think 105 strides per minute also applies to 800m runners or only long-distance runners?
@MySonOfSam Don't stress about it, ideal cadence varies greatly from runner to runner. Some people like Tadese here have a very high cadence of 210, whereas other great runners like Lawi Lalang have a lower cadence of less than 180.
Cadence is really only an issue if your cadence is extremely low and your "jumping"/"hopping" between strides.
@dazeeman It's just unbelievable. From 10k to 20k he does 27:25, which is faster than his first 10k, and just over 1 minute slower than the world record on 10000m, hahaha insaaane
@hermonnw1 Dude, he makes mad money just to show up at an event like this. Plus a bonus for the WR and of course the first place check. I doubt he does it just for the money, but its there at that level.
@hermonnw1 After these guys win an event they get paid just to show up the next year. they also get paid to show up at other events in the same year. When you break the world record everyone wants you to show up at their event. Marathons is where the money is. Haile gets like hundreds of thousands of dollars to show up.
@467076 If you pause at 6:40 you can clearly see they're some kind of flats, although I'm unsure of the model...they kinda looks like the Nike Streak XC 2's but they don't make them in that color
you can't tell you can't tell you can't tell you how insane that actually is.Even if you are a pro runner,to accomplish a sub 70 minutes half marathon is very very hard,when we talk about breaking the hour barriet it's kinda SF ,but this record is just amazing.Congrats Zersenay,what an amazing runner.AWESOME PACE!
I had a feeling that he was going to break the record. The half marathon is a great distance for him since it's obvious that he doesn't have enough foot speed for the 10k. Now my 3 favorite runners are all record holders.
Ryan Hall is still fastest American Half Marathon record Holder.

It takes an athlete with SPEED, talent, will power & determination to beat the competition.
Therefore, if you have one, join the competition.
If you ain't got none, give credit to those who proved to the world they are special breed & can beat the odds.
