  • @iRunner15 Doh, guess I forgot they're in Finland.

  • @TheLinkMedic celcius

  • @SMHS28 No one knows what kind of suffering he went through. I have no problem admitting I've never pushed myself this hard. And I think if we're all honest, we don't either. Hats off to Haile, tough as nails this man.

  • A showing of incredible courage. Any one who runs knows how much suffering he went through.

  • 2 persons are faties who can't even run

  • 14 degrees? Wow that's cold, he must of wanted to run faster to keep warm lol. He's amazing, 5k record and Marathon record.

  • @schmo137

    YEah I know, Id probably drop dead if i ran even close to 15 and He just finishes the race and isnt even out of breath. Its insane..

  • I'm at 18:26. I'll get a 12:38 next race lol.

  • @THEEVANTHETOON not to mention they get lapped...

  • My 5K is 19:18 and my mile is 5:10, now i watch this and their at 2000m at 5:05 I'm going to go run now.
