Plot twist: camera guy is following him while jogging backwards 🤭

Trickiest part is the 400m~600m, because he saved himself for the last lap mentally which slowed him down. Don't do that, maintain speed in the 400m~500m and start accelerating in the 500m~600m, you should hit the 600m~900m at full force and grind the last 100m (like you see him doing) focusing on maintaining technique and foot landing/force projected to the ground (tip of the toes in this part to counter hill striking due to tired muscles). My two cents for anyone reading this.

Now imagine that the world record 5000 meter run by Kenenisa Bekele is at 12 mins, 37 sec. Meaning that he can hold this pace for an additional 4000 meters. Amazing!

[irikanji]

My own pb is also 2:32.89.... Can u believe
(2 days..32 minutes and a bit more)

[cameronroberts]

And to think Eliud Kipchoge ran 2:50 min/km 42 times in a row. Utterly, unfathomably ludicrous.

You make it look super easy! I feel super motivated now.

[randylahey]

This morning I did 5:41, your level of athleticism is incredible.

I am 59 years old and do run 3.17 this summer in +25 degrees heat.
Hoping to run 6.50 in 2K next summer🏃🏻‍♂️

Well done mate!!! Amazing result and great pace during the race: I loved your consistency! You pushed really hard in the first 600 m, you kept the pace to the end ! Well done

[Linkmon]

2:59 = pretty easy 2:32 = very hard 😆

[movieshorts]

My 1km pb is 2.58
a month ago my 1km best was 3.12 . Now it feels really good after breaking 3min barrier .✌️😊

"Sub 3:00" really undersold this video. I thought his first 200m split was way too fast and was waiting for him to blow up but only the middle split took a slight drop... guy looked at his tone at 600m and visibly started his final 400m kick. I only dream of this speed. I get close to 3:00/km pace on a 200m/250m/300m interval but usually don't quite hit it.

[kovar]

you can visibly see the labour setting in around 90 seconds. Love the way you hug that white line :D what an effort!

[upatimkki]

man, you motivated me to train and run 1K like you

[NikSpringer]

Started running the 1000m last year (my sophomore year of high school), now, as a junior, I expect to take my previous record of 2:52 down into the mid 40’s or so, hoping to make it to the NYS qualifiers. It’s a stretch, but I’m working towards my senior year and hopefully getting it down to the 30’s in a year or so!

[Kimkibomb]

I'm from thailand Omg this is legend . Right now I'm running 1 kilometer at full strength. Time is 5:39 minutes. I have to take the Army Sergeant Exam in the next 2 years. The perfect score is 3:25 minutes per 1 kilometer. Thank you for the great video. It made me more motivated.

[bennyhuang]

Amazing! I've tried this before. My time was around 4 mins plus and I almost died -.-

[piratesting]

Well done. I’m a mid masters runner with a 3:01 best this year. I am looking to make next years time sub 3:00 a reality. Your video is good inspiration.

[mpgrewal]

He is really a great athlete. Gave his 100%.
