[Augmen1]

i was really happy when I ran under 5 min, in the last race of track season.

i can run a 60 second 400m...once, can't imagine what this feels like

[rblack37]

@Augmen1 haha what was ur time for the mile?

[AznSensAsians]

[papa7651]

thumbs up if you'd get lapped 4 times

[fastmover564]

I was hoping the runner in the white jersey would win

[mrkoolio1000]

solinsky closed in a 3:58 in the 5k at nationals this year

[manray4three]

[thISxTHplacE]

[audirocksnation]

[runnerkid458]

@audirocksnation I can run that pace for 5 miles.

[eustispanther]

who the hell disliked this.. I doubt they could push their bodies to this level

[skullkrushr93]

Wow these guys run under 4 and I'm sitting at 5:05 trying to break 5 this season. Freakin monsters

[ts14james]

I love how a 5k-10k runner just ran a sub 4 min mile....Chris solinsky is a monster! lol

message me

[DARKSTAR256]

i dont get it, why did the guy that waas leading most of the time just kinda stop running

[awesley1]

@DARKSTAR256 He was a "rabbit", a runner who sets a pace for the early part of the race. He'll run a pace that he's not capable of sustaining for the entire run, and drop out.

[DARKSTAR256]

@awesley1 does he do that on purpose?

[awesley1]

@DARKSTAR256 yes. If it's an event where an attempt on a record is being made, it's not unusual to have a runner who has no intention of finishing set the initial pace.

[AZrunner21]

@DARKSTAR256 He's whats called a rabbit or a pacer, his job is just to establish the goal pace early so that the runners are able to get in the groove of running at that pace and continue on it , or in this case get faster, for the rest of the race.

[Chocosizzles]

lol, you can see the guy recording from the other video near the finish line.

[awesley1]

Cool video. Nice job by Chris Solinsky but he'll never be able to run any distance like a 10K. :)

[mooseman427]

@awesley1 lolololololololol

[failroad]

@awesley1 are you kidding?

[icthusrocks]

@awesley1 so do you eat your words now?

[awesley1]

@icthusrocks I stand by those words as much as the day I wrote them!

[mzpujols5]

@awesley1 i bet you feel stupid now. He's the american record holder!

[awesley1]

@mzpujols5 I'm well aware of Solinsky's incredible sub-27 minute performance in his debut 10K. I've made several comments in the "Beastmode" video of his record-setting run.

Others can figure out the joke, such as Mooseman427. 

Please note smiley in my first comment. Don't you feel stupid now?

[scp025]

@mzpujols5 haha pwned by awesley1

[YippieYiYoYo]

k first off Usain bolt's top speed is around 27 mph

2nd the math of the average speed is... (for a 4:00 flat time)

4 min/ 1 mile * 1 hour/60 min = 1 hour/15 miles or 15 mph

so its slightly over 15 for a sub 4 min mile

[dc3rvant3s]

@YippieYiYoYo

An hour per 15 miles is NOT the same as 15 miles per hour.

[YippieYiYoYo]

@dc3rvant3s isnt it, think about it, if in an hour you run 15 miles, or if you run 15 miles in one hour, same just worded differently

[dc3rvant3s]

@YippieYiYoYo

Mathematically they are not the same. Units CANNOT be inverted to and yield the same result.

An hour per 15 miles is the rate of time in terms of distance, which is completely arbitrary since time is constant regardless of the distance traveled.

Your calculations are erroneous.

[YippieYiYoYo]

@dc3rvant3s k great, but the question was how fast are they running, and just over an average 15 mph is correct, so i think i did something right

[LALakrs4life]

Go Bethke! ET! ET! ET!

[asianlikejulianxbl]

Wow :o difficult

[adulby]

he might have been kidding.

just a thought. or hes an idiot.

but off that topic this was a great race. i was privelaged enough to see a 4:04 the other week

[rocketscience21]

YOU SUCK

[rocketscience21]

have fun being a total dickwad

[rocketscience21]

have fun being a total dickwad

[tpcardoso]

[Schlunky]

Same here.

[Califorun]

@LZXCRUNNER

I'm sorry buddy, but we didn't go to this video to hear about some random kid's times.

[henryniciuhh]

nothing to talk brag about man, nobody cares

[nc2714]

"52 years to the day sir roger bannister ran the first sub-minute mile..."

hmmm mile in less than a minute, didn't know he did that.

[PianozRULE]

lol I noticed that too...

[imadey0utube]

i ran a mile in 9:45. i know i suck

[csfreak26]

@imadey0utube dude my fastest was 1040 I suck :*(

[robloxpwnmaster3]

@imadey0utube yoy dont suck you a freaking no life who cant run

[Malliray]

dude i'm freaking related to matt tegenkamp i think hahaha

[heinz454]

The Rocket!

[panthersXC]

man i was cheering this guy on like crazy at the olympic trials. i felt so bad he didnt make it cuz he definitely is the best runner in the history of wisconsin high school track with the exception of gabe jennings.

[timewarp4]

ha i was there i was one of the guys in a swimsuit without a shirt on the back strech -dont ask

[12theman21]

ya i saw this live i was there at the 200 mark it was probably the coolest thing i had ever seen in my entire life

[specialk08]

Awesome, just pure awesome

[dantube54]

each of their splits are faster than my 400 PR

[yetimtbfreak]

Whats your PR if they are running 58's?

[megam111]

my dad made orthotics for tegenkamp!!!

the guy who won

send me mail if u want to know what orthotics are

[k2stevethomas]

The race rabbit, Brandon Bethke, became the 301st American Male to run sub 4-minutes in the mile at the Mayo Invite in Feb 2008.

[aziltener]

I am totally in this video, my head is at the bottom from 4:10-4:14

[cris123n2]

dang, you know..I'm working to get my mile time down to 5..But sub 4,OMFG.

[panthersXC]

what grade are you in?

[thebigkoolemann]

roger bannister ran the first sub minute mile?!

my god he must have been fast.

[PianozRULE]

60 miles per hour.... damn...

[Raimakusa]

Not to be rude, but more so 15 miles per hour. Not even a world class sprinter can run that fast yet xD

[PianozRULE]

I was talking to someone who said they ran it in a minute....

[Raimakusa]

Curse this YouTube comment placement system.

[TheAbysmalDawn]

Impossible, they would have to run at 60 miles an hour to do that, as fast as an interstate car/

[PianozRULE]

REALLY?!?!? I think we got the point across...

[3307633196]

um yeh hussain bolt (idk if thats how you spell it) but the fastest guy for they 100m runs around 30-35 mph in that short distance sprint.

[patjshaz]

40 sec 400m x4 = 2:40 per 1600~1mile

2 min/mile= 30 mph

3 min/mile= 20mph

therefore ~25mph

[powderski11]

no. 25mph is faster than usain bolt's 100m dash.

[patjshaz]

dude. look at my math! if he ran a 100 in 9.5:

= 38 sec/400 = 2:32/1600 = ~ 24 mph

ALSO... that is his average.

therefore, at the top end he is well above 24 mph

frick!

[runfunnysony1]

cool video

[martdieterich]

i actually ran the 1500 in this meet...this was like the featured mile there. we ran right after them so there was this huge crowd to watch us go like 20 seconds slower

[lucilu2210]

WOW cool vid u wer featured in the WSJ today!

[lunchtime999]

WOW that was amazing That was just...WOW

[ksouth88]

very well paced. i hope chris and matt bought the rabbits dinner afterwards.

[xXMAROXx]

OMG!

[eosnspace]

OMG, that was crazy! I'm a sprinter so I'm not even going to try that.

[padykstra]

if you want a different angle, try this video: (it kinda misses the backstretch, but you can see the finish from the line)
