    I don't think he trained for any race in particular

  • Amazing

  • Satu Pekka

  • La locomotora humana un buen fondista .

  • Emil Zatopek = Great person! :)

  • Emil Zatopek was the greatest distance runner ever. He didn't even train for the 1952 Helsinki marathon, he trained for the 5K and 10K, and entered the Marathon only because Czeckoslovakia couldn't afford to send more runners. He broke the Olympic record in all three events. Show me a runner who can do that today....5K, 10K, and Marathon. He had never even run a marathon before!

  • with todays training and diet i think he could.

  • Emil was the best of his era but I doubt he could run a 2 hour flat marathon--but I am sure he would break 2:09 with modern training and diet. His strength would be his power and grit but his body weight and speed are less than Haile G of Ethiopia.

  • I agree
