10K WORLD RECORD: JOSHUA CHEPTEGEI 26:11 [FULL RACE]

For the second time in less than two months, 24-year-old Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei has taken a world record from Kenenisa Bekele. After breaking Bekele’s 5,000m record on August 14 in Monaco in 12:35.37, Cheptegei on Wednesday ran 26:11.00 in Valencia, Spain, to dismantle the 26:17.53 Bekele ran in 2005.

THIS IS SO INSANE HE LITERALLY RAN FASTER THAN TWO OLYMPIC 5K QUALIFYING TIMES BACK TO BACK

[GyariSan]

Wow the race aside, that male commentator is pretty epic. He was in the zone and didn't stutter at all

[KingOfGods]

And I'm dying doing a 5k in 30 minutes, these are elite athletes, respects.

[salafibrouae]

The announcer is wonderful, he's genuine enthusiasm is contagious and refreshing!

[EneaColombo]

she's set the world record for the most "you know" said in less than 30 minutes.

[puranshprabhakar]

runners are the most underrated athletes in the world especially distance runners, the most of the inhuman things are done by them and still they get overshadowed by footballers, cricketers etc, these distance runners should be appreciated more as they put more than work we can ever imagine .

Joshua Cheptegei now holds the 5K and 10K road record as well as the 5K and 10K track record. Complete dominance.

[smallestdude]

That’s my 5k PB 😂🤣
Hats off to the guy, he could double my distance and still beat me 🙏🏼👏🏼

[rickyreward]

I love it when he said if your watching from Uganda. Olyotya. It was fun. It's mulimutya because we are many. Olyotya is for one person. But great to hear a commentator speak some Luganda. Shows he puts time and knowledge in what he does. Great commentary

[DaveAngelic]

Most people dont even realize how fast this is, I started running 3 weeks ago and 3 days ago I did my first 10km run in about 1:30h and i was proud of myself.. this guy is insane

[lly]

Congs joshua, and thanks for raising our flag and our Uganda 🇺🇬 high, all Ugandans are so proud of you 👍

[martyn]

Bruh, imagine living with him and be like.... "Ight ima go for a 10k run, seeya" and returns after 26 minutes.

The roomate: 👁️ 👄 👁️

[lanagorgeous]

This commentator is amazing. I've heard him on other races and he is incredible and so knowledgeable. I wish American commentators of distance events were this good, but they are terrible in comparison.

[bidden]

"He has roared with a heart❤️ of an African Lion I'm proud to be a Ugandan 🇺🇬

[ishimwepeacesima.]

Thanks for making us proud again🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 we love you our boy. Thanks for raising our flag

Normal person: lying on the ground trying to stay alive after 10k of running

Cheptegei: smiling and running around celebrating after new 10k world record...

[IsMiseAnthony]

What a race. Pretty rough week for Bekele.

[PC-lvdq]

This is basically my pace i could do over exactly 100 meters sprint when i was in high school. I wasn't really in shape back then, but it's insane if you think about it. 23 kph average over 10 kilometers, a lot of people even don't manage that on a bike.

[moshev.]

Wow. He's got such a driving pace to his stride. A thing of beauty. Just wow. Looks so in rhythm the whole way...

[mamokilo]

Congrats to my brothers and sisters in Uganda from Ethiopia
