Haile Gebrselassie CPC 2009

Haile aiming for a WR on the half marathon march 2009 in the Hague (CPC loop). Unfortunately he didn't succeed. The weather conditions probably played a part in that as the wind was pretty heavy. Still a great run to watch, with some beautiful running. I had to bike pretty fast to follow the front field of runners throughout the race to get some nice video footage. Imagine running an interval session of 32-33sec. on 200m. Now keep that pace pace up untill you each 21.1km and you'll be ending somewhere around WR time (58.33).

@Thjeko slowmo is cool - you can see detailed how haile is running on fore - / middlefoot at this pace - great!

@Mangemongenify then you must be on crack.

[Mangemongenify]

@rmsprowler what? it's a good slow motion. GTFO.

[rmsprowler]

@ZQPYU except that isn't what he was intending by putting that slow motion there.

@rmsprowler

I found it completely useful in observing/studying the running mechanics/form of some of the worlds fastest distance runners. Just what I was looking for.

Thank you Thjeko :)

okay the first slow mo was nice, the rest was overkill.
