Long-distance running, or endurance running, is a form of continuous running over distances of at least 3 kilometres (1.8 miles). Physiologically, it is largely aerobic in nature and requires stamina as well as mental strength. Among mammals, humans are well adapted for running significant distances, and particularly so among primates. The endurance running hypothesis suggests that running endurance in the genus Homoarose.Long-distance running, in athletics (track and field), footraces ranging from 3,000 metres through 10,000, 20,000, and 30,000 metres and up to the marathon, which is 42,195 metres (26 miles 385 yards).
It includes cross-country races over similar distances.“And knowing that you can run 20 miles helps you wrap your head around running 26.2.” The Exception: Some coaches believe experienced marathoners can get by with a longest run of 16 to 18 miles.If you’re training for your first marathon or half, for example, most of your long runs should be done at one to two minutes slower per mile than you’re capable of running the distance on that day. Any faster than that when you’re trying to run 10 or 15 miles for the first time is.The benefits of long-distance running (for marathon runners, that means 10 to 20 miles) range from using your body’s stored energy more efficiently to having time to work out any kinks in your gear or nutrition.

They are good because of all the drugs they use like epo. Look at Jemima Sumgong even whe she said because of the good training she tested positive for epo after Rio 2016. Stop with this nonsense
Don’t dismiss the importance of motivation and hard work. Most of these runners grew up poor and want to use their talents to improve their economic situation so they work very hard. They have to work hard because the competition to stand out is fierce-not unlike a poor kid in Brazil who wants to be a soccer/football player.
Chase, Do you like those Hoka Carbon X or The Nike vapor fly next percent % for your long runs & why? Thank you! Awesome video very motivational. Happy trails my friend.: )
Great video! If you’re interested in more content, checkout my channel!
Damn i really hate running outside in the summer. I get so hot.
Autumn and winter running is so much better.
Goodluck bro…share your contact number plz..needs your guidance
Where you live is pretty dang flat! (In comparison to the Uk)
Also credit to your mate for cycling with you!
Dude, you’re a beast. I’m a Marine and I realize how slow I’ve become over time. I need to get my ass back on the pavement! Thanks for the motivation ����
Watching this for the third time and man, I don’t know how hurt you are. The soundtrack is just bomb that I think you feel something deep. Anyways, great run! I’m hoping that I could run like you or at the very least run a distance like that without stopping for some breathes or from pain. Keep it up!
Bro how do you breathe nose in mouth out or mouth in mouth out
Run facing oncoming traffic so you can avoid stupid drivers.
Geez, my best Half-Marathon pace is 6:58/mile, and that was giving it my all! Amazing talent, man!
For safety reasons, you should run in the opposite direction of traffic. I hate to see a runner get hit from behind.
Making running 6:03s so easy:( when I running 6:30s are hard enough for me
Hope I can do that one day later… I just starting to run 5km, right now only 3km.
Very nice run and thanks for sharing:)
The music in your videos are fireeee def going on my playlist
Awesome pace!. do you ever feel pain in the beginning and run through it? Sometimes on my long runs I’ll have some decent knee pain in the 1st mile or 2.. it seems to go away around 3+ miles but I’m always worried I might be making things worse. Just wondering if this is typical.
Friendly reminder: Running on pavement should only be done once a week or at most twice. Even if you can get by without injury in the short term, your career longevity will be seriosuly shortened. Twice a week on grass wont cut it. Alberto salazar makes his athletes do 90% of workouts on grass. The kenyans do all of it on dirt.
Wait how do you run 14 mile in a 6 min pace and not be soooo tired at the end when my xc couch makes us run 10 miles at a 7 min pace I can’t move my body after��
What a song this is! The galloping drums, the guitar melodies, Bruce, the Bass…just magnificent! Hard to pick a favorite from this album full of gems, but this one for me is the one. Fantastic!
Yo that’s pretty fast, I’m a junior in high school and I ran a half marathon for the first time last Saturday and I finished in 1:41 minutes with an average pace of 7:43.
I like doing a nice 14 mile Saturday morning run @ easy pace. Like 4’45” mile pace is real comfortable. Not too fast not too slow a nice 100 BPM run. Just a lil weekend jog through the neighborhood ��
I don’t care how fast you are running, run on the other side of the road boy
Very underrated song
Somewhere in time
Is very underrated to me the tour was awesome saw it 3 time
Detroit, Toledo, Las Vegas
Do you ever run with you phone and headphones? Or no because it messes with your form?
Pretty driving road, but so much of it had no shoulder. Do you always run on the right side with your back to traffic, or just when you have bicycle accompaniment? You have a smooth stride. I ran 20 miles at that pace every Saturday during the summer before my first and only collegiate cross country season. I still remember how it felt to just relax and cruise easily at that pace. That was 40 years ago! Make the most of your running youth.
6 mins per mile and you seem so cool �� impressive, good pace! This is my 10k pace ��
Good shit. Nice work. Makes me want to push even harder tonight.
run on the correct side of the road… good job on the run tho
Chase do you recommend some sort of protein supplementation fir marathon runners?
Do you run half the run on the right side of the road, and then other half on the left side? That’s what I do to try and avoid hip issues
A lot of calories for your size and a run of 17 miles which is not that much. The run alone costs you around 2000 kcal. Maybe a tad more but i doubt it. what else did you do in order to need so many kcal?
Looks like you could go forever… hard to say without seeing your facial expressions but wow your cruise control works great!
How many long runs a week do you suggest someone do for cross country
My favourite from this Golden Album….It´s songs like this, never played live, ” hidden ” masterpieces that INSTANTLY grabs my heart and attention and NEVER let it go, their greatest hits never comes this close to my heart…..a splendid metaphor for life, keep on struggling, what ever the cost….I SALUTE Steve Harris for giving us this JEWEL….
Chase another awesome running video. What are you Rocking ( running ) In. Carbon X?
Thank you, You are a BEAST!!
Dang man who broke your heart?? Music got me in my feels ��
This might be due to my socks but do you or anyone here get blisters during a long run? Any tips.
Also that course looked fun
I hope to one day be where you are! But as for now any tips on running 1.5 without stopping preferably in 13 min or less?
Do you do any breathing exercises? How do you breath during a race, for exemple, once each 4 steps..
You take me back to my running days. It’s nostalgic to watch this long distance run.
It was awesome to see you picking up the pace after the first mile. Cranking out a few high 5-minute miles in the middle of the run and mile-14 was impressive.
If you competed in a half marathon, what time could you run?
Great work! ��
just curious do you ever stop during a run? Like say your feeling a bit tired or something do you ever stop for like a quick 20-30 seconds
Did a lot of 5.30 pace 10 milers. Your on the right track. Keep pushing through it
This Album Sounds Like 2356 A.D.
My Favorite Maiden’ s Album and This Song ����
Somewhere in Future ������
Well, what else are they good at?, it’s their National sport and only way out of poverty, that’s why
Este album é absolutamente incrível!!! Quando ouço qualquer uma das faixas, transporto-me para outro planeta, um sem gravidade!!!
El mejor disco lejos para mi todo el arte de tapa la musica letras titulo todo el mejor de todos los eddie s eso futurista que contiene es unico tanto asi que me lo tatue en el brazo derecho ����������
Donde dejan el espectacular riff de Adrian Smith en cada coro!!!!!! Simplemente un maestro del ingenio en arreglos geniales de Iron Maiden!!! Poder de cancion!!
Literally the best tripple stroke rolls on one foot, Nikko Mcbrain is a genius of drums whether people admit it or not. I’ve listened to all sorts of music throughout my life but nothing compares to Nikko on one bass drum.
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is the best song with alexander the great and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Remember the day i put this album on my record player… In my mind forever.
this album i really amazing masterpiece. I was alway fun fo piece fo mind but when i listen Sowhere in time i have doubts
Sounds of my childhood and youth. I literally went to sleep every night listening this album. What a great piece of art it is still to this day. Beautiful sounds and melodies. Cool hard rock.
My third day running…. Did 6 kms in 48 mins…. I ll improve
Honestly….i dont need to find the bottom of the thread…..its all cream!!!!!! IRONS mother fuckers!!
I live 3 miles away from the hall where this song was only played in 1986. It still echoes!
I’m a Maiden fan of 35 years and this is 2nd only to Phantom Of The Opera. The soloing in this is just pure orgasmic.
I kneel before the solo of this song. Incredibly well crafted and the two guitarists came up with beautiful phrasing on it. One of the best duets in the history of Iron, for sure!
Just got these shoes my time per mile went from 8 minutes to 7:20 big difference. I’ll be buying another pair soon……thanks for the videos you make.
Dude I saw your supplements in the background. What are those?
This Album Sounds like 2356.A.D.
Unbealive, Masterpiece ����
The professor’s assertions are absolute junk, listening to him you can’t help sensing a form of infantilisation. The Nandi are just genetically blessed. None of the factors mentiones matter.
The tough of the track
With the wind
And the rain that’s beating down on
Your back
Your heart’s beating loud
And goes on getting louder
And goes on even more ’til the
Sound is ringing in your head
With every step you tread
And every breath you take
Determination makes you run never stop
Got to win got to run ’til you drop
Keep the pace hold the race
Your mind is getting clearer
You’re over half way there
But the miles they never seem to end
As if you’re in a dream
Not getting anywhere
It seems so futile
Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner
I’ve got to keep running the course
I’ve got to keep running and win at all costs
I’ve got to keep going, be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on
Run over stiles across fields
Turn to look at who’s on your heels
Way ahead of the field
The line is getting nearer but do
You want the glory that goes
You reach the final stretch
Ideals are just a trace
You feel like throwing the race
It’s all so futile
Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner
Determination in everything, and “Your mind is getting clearer”.
This, Powerslave, Number and Fear of the Dark are my favorites. Thanks for sharing! \m/ Cheers! worth a drink!
Muy buena canción fue de las primeras que conocí y me sorprende que sea infravalorada
one of my favourite songs of Maiden!
The Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooonelines of the loooooooooooong distance runneeeeeeeer!!!!
thank you Bruce!
3:25 Adrian blast all!!!
And we people are struggling to get rid
of SHIN PAINS during running ������
We need more songs from the best album on next tours, this album is the zenit of iron maiden
lol this vid was titled exactly what it was why did some people dislike it great vid thx
THE BEST MUSIC..THE MAIDEN..IS FOREVER…..TOP OF METAL..��������������������������������������������������������������������������������
2:25 absolutelly epic, one of best melodies ever heard… So emotional
This is from the last 10/10 record by Maiden from the eighties.
I run similar mileage and only eat 3-3.5k calories. Can’t imagine having to eat that much more.
Hi Chase Easterling: For HM and FM, do u recommend Carbon X or Rincon?
The best sounding Maiden Album of all the time along with seventh son of a seventh son… 80’s quality at its best and more modern sounding than everything modern Maiden has released…Analog recording is the Holy Grail of Heavy Metal sound
I tried this method got injured on the 1st day.. the front method is difficult
So underrated, don’t say it isn’t because otherwise it would be played live more often
I would definitely increase Protein. I mean your way works for you but it may have a good impact to your body and muscles
If you wikipedia this theres a movie from the 1960s with this name that is based on a short story. It seems many musical groups Iron Maiden among them have songs with this for the title or a variation….
I maxed the run portion of the Army APFT when I was in AIT while this song was playing in my head. I would hype myself up on it just before the run. I ran the 2 mile in 10:52 that day. One of the best days of my life. I spent the rest of my life jogging and running after that day just for the sheer joy of it.
WHEN I HEAR SONGS LIKE THIS I ALWAYS WONDER IF I SHOULD FEEL SORRY FOR THE DRUMMER NICO MCBRAIN?!
EVERY IRON MAIDEN SONG IS A TOTAL FITNESS WORKOUT FOR HIM!
I do not know what I find worse. Guys running and only running or guys doing gym only gym… So unbalanced, they respectively look to skinny and too bulked. But congrats to this dude running a fuckin 20 miles+. Great performance anyway.
my favorite album of all time, only one weak link sea of madness!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_8VUXsdA8A VICTORY…ENJOY MY BROTHERS!
When I was in school, I always liked running a whole lot. I liked the feeling of the “runner’s high” and because of that, much preferred long distance running, since that allowed multiple highs in one session. When I was in middle school/going into high school, I started listening to Iron Maiden and liked them so much I thought “why don’t I listen to them and other music while I run?” That was like an epiphany, because I discovered crafting a playlist properly with songs that REALLY got me going placed at specific points meant that I could essentially force a runner’s high when I needed one. When I discovered this song, I honestly believed it was a sign from a higher power that Iron Maiden was the band “meant for me”; this song became one of a select few that were exclusively “final stretch” songs.
Thanks, Maiden. You fucking rock, and probably were half the reason for most of my victories in high school PE.

This tune bangs! Deep album cut and it slays most other bands best. It’s almost embarrassing
Outstanding and powerful song.Outstanding and powerful band❤️Love forever
It’s like I’m 15 again riding my skateboard to my buddy’s house listening to this on my walkman…..Ya I’m that old����
Kipchoge needs to run each mile 5 seconds shorter than the time of this video to break 2:00:00
Class 87 moshed to this during prom. Don’t question ways of the Maiden Move.
Lonliness of The Long Distance Runner? Not for Celtic it wasn’t. ��������
last year some guy asked this song to be played on the radio, an hour before the “wings for life marathon run”. i was dj at the radio. i played the song for him. after that, this guy kept listening this song on and on during that marathon, and he came first after 42 kilometers. that was inspiring. run on and on my friend!
I can’t get myself to heel strike anymore it feels like my knees are gonna explode
Plágio discarado de “Eu” (Pato Fu). Harris disse que sempre foi fã da banda brasileira.
I love the recording & production work on this album. This is Maiden at their most venomous. The drum tones are fantastic, and Nico just fucking slaughters it throughout the entire record.
I can’t run more than 2 miles with my ankle burning like hell and this man just casual 14 miles in the morning. Wtf
IRON GAYDEN The Loveliness of the Long Distance Cummer.
��������
Written for good humor purposes only folks! Maiden rules!!!!!!
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!
Tough of the track. Alf Tupper the working class lad who used to run cross country races in between his job as a motor mechanic. He’d always finish his races and celebrate with fish and chips. Happy days reading the Valiant and Hotspur comics.
This entire fucking album kicks ass..but only TRUE Maiden fans need only to apply…much the same as Pink Floyd Animals album,on true fans need to apply
I don’t care what anyone says, this is the best track on the album.
Every song on this album is amazing. The most underrated album. Better than 7th son
getting ready to do a 10 year prison bid 3 hots and a cot plus a free burial thanks Massachusetts for the burial
¿Y pensar que hay gente que piensa que Iron Maiden habla solo del diablo?
Up the Irons!!!!
My first attempt at 9.4km got 54 minutes is that good wasent even tired aswell
I’ve wondered about this, thank you. Applause to all elite runners
The dislike button should be taken off all Iron Maiden videos!! Up the Irons!!
What a song…??!! Up irons..34 years… This song.. Fuck…
It is an overused word….but it says it all >>>> MASTERPIECE!!!
Lol no-one knows these songs you can hear in the game Carmageddon still play those sometimes
Apparently those Nike trainers may be outlawed…………….however, Eliud probably ran most of his life barefoot and shoes don’t matter.
Amazing song, one of my all time favourites by Maiden. This beat is deadly.
Metal has the coolest cover arts. Love the bladerunner nod with this one! And this song is awesome! Deja vu, alexander the great, heaven can wait and wasted years are great too! Up the irons!
Damn Nicko’s drumming here is SO intense… wow.
Very underrated song
This is the Phenomenal talent of Iron Maiden, they can take a novel or subject like Long Distance Runner and make it into Art! This Song is so Fucking Bad Ass! Other Heavy Metal bands were writing about Devils, Dragons, witches killing, Murder, Hell Human sacrifice, Iron Maiden writes about, Long Distance Runner, The Air Battle for Britain, a Dying Pharoah’s death, The Charge of The Light Brigade, the World of Arms Dealers, confessions, just a Phenomenal Band there will never be another band as Awesome as Iron Maiden!
might just be my fave maiden record thanks in part to this song
I’m totally sending this song to that guy who has that channel named,Look Mum no computer!!!He literally has suffered a lot of loneliness in his life!!!I fucking love this whole entire album,It’s solid gold!!!
One of their best songs and guitar solo. Always gives me the shivers. ��
Айрон Мейден классика тяжёлого металла. Группа Ария многое заимствовала из неё.
I’m a long distance runner, and I’ve never heard this song before somehow
One of my favorite Maiden-tracks:D It is very underrated!
3:25 POWER METAL-MODE ACTIVATED 😉
Se for ela vai morrer porque eles pensam que ela gosta deles aí eles vão ficar débil mental vai perturbar minha vida e ela vai morrer
At about 3.30 it sounds like Another Girl, Another Planet…
my goal is to run a marathon in 4hours im 17years old
last year a ran halve a marathon in 1;52
its honestly not a surprising fact, im from a poor country, in my country we have to run long distances to get food for our family, we have to go work cut grass and carry heavy loads on our back. We also eat healthy food, no high fat food, no greasy food all plain, sometimes chicken and rice or rice and dhal. i think thats what influences your endurance because we hat to walk miles to get food and earn money.
in just 2 runs i took my mile record from 11 minutes to 9:13! It’s all about mentality!
I want to be a traithlon athlete I want to win Ironman, anybody there can you help me out
If you are undisciplined, you are a slave to your moods. This man’s wisdom guides my life.
This year is gonna be my first marathon, but somehow I made myself commit to run a sub 3 hour marathon. People always tell me: go easy one it, no need to rush things. But I feel like only running the 42 km won’t make me feel so great as trying to go for the goal i set myself. Still got some time to prepare, but i can’t wait to stay on the starting line and run.
My best 5k is a 21 something and my best mile time is a 6:05. I’ve been injured for more than 6 months now, but I’m hoping that I get recovered the end of 2020 and train smart and hard so that in my senior year I could get under 20 minutes, and maybe in the track season I could get under 6 minutes.
I’m 22 and lost 15kg in the last 8 months. I had stomach pain and cramps every day and couldn’t eat anymore. No one could tell me what is wrong with my body. I went to hospital for 3 weeks and then they finally found my problem. I got celiac disease in the highest stage of Marsch 4. My
intestinal villi are completly destroyed and thats the reason why I lost so much weight. I changed my nutrition and started running 2 weeks ago and I feel better then ever. I can only run 3km without stopping right now but I will fight to get back into life. My goal is a half marathon and later a full one. This video is awesome!
My goal this year is to run a sub 20:00 5k, 5:50 mile and a 2:20 800m
I am 16 years old and my present aim is to break the 400 m national record.

I used to run 3 km everyday..
I want to fit,want to looking like model, athelete, young man
anyone know the name of the song playing “I’m gonna get back up again”
Wrong question, Question should be, Why all sprinters and runners in US are black?
No human is limited. Now that’s some seriously overgeneralized nonsense.
My goal is to get the remaining points needed to enter into UTMB
I run 5k in 37 minute….i want to do 5k in 25 min…does anyone have tips please..

When I run then thousands is thoughts are come into mind how we decrease them
After reaching 92.5kg, epitome of my obesity in oct 2019, I decided to run and finish a marathon in 2020. It was a joke to all my friends and family. Last 3 months, I shed 20kg and yesterday I did my first 30km run. In April, I WILL FINISH A MARATHON!!!!!
Never smoke cigarettes and break 20 minutes on 5 km, for now 23:37. Next will be 15′ to break ������ ���� Thanks for motivation ��
i want to break 16:00 this year in the 5k, i was among the top in the nation in cross country and track, and it started going downhill only slightly my eighth grade track season and freshman cross country season, but when i got to my freshman track and sophomore cross country it felt like it was all over, and i had pretty much given up and was going to try out sprinting in track until quarantine hit, and then i got motivated to start distance training again and decided i will run cross country this season i don’t know what the future holds, but i know that i have the confidence and training to break 16:00 i just need to go out there and do it now
Sophomore in high school, I want to break 17 and then 16 minutes in the 5K this year, and sub 15 before I graduate to college. You can check my running YouTube channel too. Consider subscribing;)
This diet is what works for me, it might not work for everyone. I wouldn’t suggest eating 5k calories a day unless you’re as crazy as me 😉
A major factor in her success that Jemima Sumgong ( 3:55) neglected to mention: EPO. The 2016 Olympic gold medallist in the women’s marathon has been banned from competition for 8 years for using it. Despicable creep. What a blight on the Olympics. And what shame and suspicion she and those like her bring to Kenyan athletics as a whole.
250 lb ifbb pro bodybuilders eat 2500-3000 calories a day. How is this 150 lb guy eating twice that much!
Hi, I’m woman (18) and my weight is 45kg and i wanna know why if i eat like you, i mean 5k calories, i would gaind weight, why couldn’t i maintain this weight and eat like you. Can you explain me?
Then theres me. Yesterday: no food before doing 18 miles at 6:30 pace at 9 am then continued to not eat anything till 5pm ��. Only had 28 oz of gatorade and 140oz of water
This is an example of diet is not always more important than exercicing
How Are you so skinny i Eat 3500 and im not dath smoll im 185
Lol just looking at the British equivalent of your vlog,the British vlog is done in someone’s garage or next to trash cans or something,with crappy production,where the American version is smooth and silky
I will have a beer (one) after a long run. I get around 13 grams of carbs from it and its refreshing.
What’s the purpose of being an Ultra Runner? Why not run less miles like 4 to 8 miles per day and do cardio on the bike or swimming? I don’t see the purpose of over running other than having to eat more calories and having to rest a lot more for recovery.
The lyrics of this masterpiece are simply mindblowing. Every Maiden song tells a story of it’s own. Geniuses. Love ’em.
Way too many carbs for me, even when I am training for marathons. I would even go as far to say that it’s unhealthy to eat that many carbs for the majority of the humans. We are not built to live off carbs
Question: how long did you put the oatmeal in the microwave for?
How much do you think I should eat running 50 miles a week and 16 years old. I don’t wanna lose weight
I run high volume but don’t think I’ve ever hit this caloric intake even with �� BEER. Liked the vid for its quick simplicity thanks bro!
That breakfast was not 520
calories. That oatmeal was a beast!
And I am taking less than 2000 calories a day, since I am just a beginner, I cant burn 5000 calories through my runs to stay slim. The longest I have run yet is 14K.
He’s incredibly handsome and doesn’t even try to portray himself that way, he’s real and humble. I like him.
That’s very little protein for a distance runner. Distance running breaks down your body and you need more protein to help repair and build you.
you call yours steady but that is my race pace.. lol great to see a young athlete training well, now following on strava.
This is very close to my bulking diet, crazy you can stay so slim. Granted I’m only 5’9” and my body is vastly different than yours.
Is it bad that I am only eating 1300 calories while training for a half marathon?
If kitata had won would we be saying he had the best running form?
Thinking of running 2 half-marathons this year. my goal is under 3 hours. Finished 3:05 last year
this album, powerslave, and seventh son of a seventh son is the holy trinity of maiden albums
I’ve been watching lots of videos on cadence and I think the key point I’d missed that you point out well is it’s not just small quick steps picking feet up but important to have limb stiffness in legs so driving force into the ground to push you forward horizontally rather then too much vertical movement. That’s definitely helped me with my pace for same HR effort. Surely sub 2 hour can’t be far off now for me either….
Wait till u get older. U gotta run the same mileage but eat less and less. Down to 1 meal a day on 40 plus miles a week
He’s an ultra marathoner. High school and college runners, please don’t eat 5000 calories a day lol
if I walk 13 miles a day and eat a lot will I lose weight or gain weight?
I guess that sort of food intake works for someone in their early 20s ��
I wouldn’t say this is the best song on Somewhere in Time, not even close, but goddamn it’s such a great song! Just goes to show how awesome Iron Maiden songs can be.
Great inspiration! I have to clean up my diet pronto trying to get down to race weight before July so I can start 18 week training cycle for my next marathon! Keep posting!
17 m-mi-mILES?!? I’m gasping for air and seeing my life flash at 2 miles ��
Plágio discarado de “Eu” (Pato Fu). Harris disse que sempre foi fã da banda brasileira.
like the video. But eaither you are counting your calories wrong, or your macros are really off. Several of the meals don’t match upp:)
Me: dies hiking 11 miles today Him: hey guys just did a 17 miles�� Me: whaaaaa��
Your channel just popped up on my feed, love the energy man thanks for the inspiration.
Why has nobody sued Pet Shop Boys for copying this song in their “It’s a Sin” song?
Hi Iron, I’m brazilian and your fan since have 8 years old, and now I will make 13 in December. I would like to know if you will release a new album and know at least name. Thanks;-)★
Well, I do sprinting and lifting. Got me jacked and I ate high cals whenever I trained
The production on this album is so spot on. Magnificent sound scapes. Love it so much!!!
17 miles… I just started running and i take 3 breaks running a little over half a mile.
your last meal you said had 2500 calories but i did the math and it was only about 1600 calories
Glad to see you eat very little meat. I think you would be even better off without it.
I want to be a very long distance walker. I walk like 2 to 4 miles a day, but I want to get up to like 8 miles. I am a poet, I must walk. ��
The macros aren’t adding up. I calculated 4097 calories from the totals that were given.
I wish you would’ve mentioned how long it took you to run the 17 miles. Basic info please.
I feel like every man alive eats cereal in the evenings. My son, husband, dad. Just everyone with male genitalia loves evening cereal
I eat around 4000 calories a day during track season and I still lose weight, after the season i get ready for football with 3500 calories and lifting everday and i gain about a pound a week from that
“more kids are being driven to school so we should expect their advantage in the future to disappear.” Yea ok bud thanks for your expert insight.
Long distance runners are so impressive to me. I envy them because I have severe asthma and no endurance or stamina �� It’s not just Kenyans who are the best long distance runners, Ethiopians and Somalis are also amazing. I think it’s the altitude
I just want to complete 1600 meater in 6:30 minutes please help me����������
so basically this region in kenya yields great runners because of evolution. People adapt to their environment.
Tbh I kind of want to see an experiment where a white man from Europe goes to that region to train. Obviously having a different evolutionary lineage would make it challenging, but I’d reckon they could eventually adapt and become somewhat competitive runners compared to those who grew up there.
That’s how we all used to be when we had to run for our food. Cause it was either catch it, or die…
But all Africans do the same when doing whatever sport. I don’t understand these explanations. All black people are good in stop or dancing or whatever really….but these people who are explaining here are ignoring this reality.
You know what else helps too… doping. A bunch of Kenyans have been busted these past few years.
EPO is the Key to the way they are so good, EPO IS A DOPING THST IS IN KENYA NORMAL
White people love dissecting people who they can’t beat and come up with excuses to take them out cold
This is amazing! I could run a 14 miles at this PACE….MANY years ago!������♂️�� That’s the ravages of time though! ������⏳ �� Now, I happily waddle along at a 9:30 to 10:00.���� Your stride is so smooth and effortless! I just purchased a new pair of Hokas. They’re great for middle aged knees. What’s your favorite training shoe?
Soo if they do a Pacer test they will pass! I’m over here tired at 5 ����
Yet the world record holders for ultra marathons are all white
I love how when they interview them they put in quotes the first 2 English words they hear and then just let them talk ����������
Yet other scientists claim:
Special muscle
Extra this
Bigger this
Thinner that
More this
Less this
����m8, Lets Forget about the fact kids run to school 20 K a day at high altitude, eating whole foods. Foods that are pure.
Well.. if as many people got into running, as into football, baseball, soccer, we would get a lot of talented runners in the US and Europe too. This is the only reason there are so many good runners there.
Somewhere in time and piece of mind are my two favorite iron maiden albums. This is my favorite song on this album.
If you guys really want to know why the Kenyans are so good, watch this: https://youtu.be/FHb2tbKoZR8
If kenya had swimming pools or bikes they would be grrat.m
Do you just slow down your pace when you need a break? And what’s your pace after the 5th mile
So, live like the Industrial Revolution never happened and you will be in fairly good health.
We should all take note.
Eritreans and Ethiopians seem to be extremely gifted long distance runners as well. Maybe they share some advantages along with the Nandi.
Tall, long legs, bigger muscle legs, bigger heart and lung capacity!… They builld for run ����
One thing i cant quite explain is that if you see a kenyan running along side a non kenyan in a race, there is a noticable diff in the stride. The kenyans seem to have a smoother more relaxed stride.
Damn they interviewed the same person just made them change shirts ��
Any runner in the world has a VO2 max 20% higher than sedentary people. It’s called “training.”
99% of all elite runners land on their midsole.
Top runners in Kenya are not “active.” They train twice a day and lay around the other 23.5 hours.
The most significant factor by far is genetics.
Fresh organic food, fresh clean air, exercising everyday since they were little, they don’t whine and complain like us, no wonder they are amazing!
Every one is forgetting the Most important factor,,,,which is that they are blessed by the Most High in this area.
I’ve only recently started running and I’ve started to look into difference proper running forms and the way to land on your feet and just from doing some quick searches online they all say not to run on your forefoot or I should say not to land on your forefoot so I’m confused in fact I remember many years ago i tried running on my forefoot although at that time I really didn’t know crap about running and it really really screwed up my knees like for 2 and 1/2 Weeks my knees were in extreme pain
1. They don’t look at their smartphones all day
2. They don’t play video games all day
3. They don’t eat processed food at all
4. They don’t go on social media all day
5. They live simple lives rather than buy stuff they don’t need
6. They don’t make excuses for being bad at something
7. They continually improve themselves versus blaming their faults on others
8. They work hard and smart
9. They have to earn their right to live
10. They are not lazy, fat, or American
Because there are so many gunshots there that everyone runs away
Genetics? Really USA today? Shameless hypocrites kill themselves
Are they all wearing Nike VaporFly? I thought these shoes are controversial?
One of the reasons for their success was because they couldn’t afford shoes, that’s kinda crazy
Because not running is the unnatural state. For a conditioned person, sitting still too long makes one wish to crawl out of one’s skin. Ask any 3-year-old. Recommended vid: Best kindergarten in the world
I did cross country running. Up, down, left and right…fresh air baby! 5 sometimes 10 miles…aiiight…
Well first off they are
Black (not trying to be stereotypical)
so their bodies are superior than white
I’ve got a marathon tomorrow and today I’ve got shin splints.
Jesus! Is Nicko playing triplets on his feet throughout this song? Insane musicianship on this album in particular. They were really dialed in.
Form is something that is different for every individual runner, you run your best when you run the way your body is shaped, you can even see it with the pacemakers, they all have their differences, I know that form is essential in running, but like, I don’t understand the point of this video
I lived and worked in the region that had some long distance runners too called Eldoret. From birth they are born and destined to be great runners as they are by default are predisposed to an environment that lends itself to long distance running. The air sacks in the lungs adapt to the high altitude and hold in air much longer. The one thing I can tell you is discipline! Walking to work each day / driving I met a lot of runners �� 7 days a week. Lastly to feel the difference as you travel in Krbya from the Rift Valley to the Lake Basin area, you can tell the car struggles due to high altitude! That translates to less Oxygen. As you hit the Low plain areas towards the Lake after Kericho, it is all systems go!!! There in lies the secret, these people develop large air sacs from child birth and with other diet factors, and other things considered which you must be Kenyan to uphold, culture, staple foods etc they run ��♀️ for the Gold!! So i see people in Kenya ���� train along side them, hoping to pick something? Naah! It is innate world, combined with their rich cultural diet and personal discipline!! So for as long as there is Long distance running KENYA IS THE NUMBER one!!
5 to 5.30 minute mile within 40days. Now my time is 6.30, is this possible
Run… on and on…
The loneliness of the long distance runner…
Ethiopian also the same as kenja ����❤������♂️��♂️��♂️��♂️
Yea, another massive issue over there is doping, and the government organizations aiding in hiding it. I’m not saying they’re not amazing, but many are used PEDs.
Holy s**t, this song sounds still awesome after all these years
135 Kenyans tested positive. That’s a number so big it’s like the US printing money.
It’s the same with cycling of course. Pedaling on the forefoot plus bending your upper body forwards gives you the speed and it eases the cycling process.
Argue enough for your limitations and sure enough they are yours. Of course some limitations are worth arguing for. Usain Bolt’s top speed was less than 1/2 that of a Cheetah’s. Wimp.
Into bodybuilding for many years. It’s well known that black lifters tend to have great genetics for the sport except for calves. That’s not hard and fast rule and it’s not sterotyping. It’s common knowledge. It’s a hereditary trait, not just for Kenyans.
Its genetic body structure of kalenjin is adapted to running for long distance
That solo around 3:25…dude!!! An eruption of frigging joy!
Im like that guy in the back with green vest but with 3x worse form lol
This is not a barefoot shoe, so I believe he is not striking with the heels it is actually with the front. But Im no expert. Nice video!! Thanks ��
The runners with the best form imo are Eliud Kipchoge of course, Meb Keflezighi, and Edward Cheserek, and Geoffrey kamworor. Other runners I watch with form great form are the Colorado runners and the also the elite high schoolers at footlocker nationals. Some of these guys have great form.
My form used to be more like kitata with over extending. I mean, almost everyone runs like that. Last year I started adding more stable soldiers and straighter arms. during quarantine, I have been working on adding a little lean and foot strike below my body and it feels weigh more efficient and can make an off feeling day still feel relaxed.
But number 2 and 3 both land the front foot in front of their knee………. are you saying they are “bad” runners? I’ll take that too?
he’s incredible! his running gait is truly mesmerizing. if only I could run as gracefully…as a former swimmer, I tend to lean back and be a bit top heavy in the torso area:( working on it tho!
Thank you! Excellent analysis and also really appreciate how you have your 5 points summarized in the “show more” area.
1. Footstrike
2. Stride length and overstriding
3. Cadence & contact time
4. Torso rotation
5. Relaxation
I thought its good to have foot contact under body center of gravity but seems like Kipchoge over strides at 10:54 with foot contact not underneath body?
You can’t use a word class runner Kitata to demonstrate poor running form. This bad example undercuts your point, because it shows you can have all these “flaws” and be one of the greatest. The guy ran the NY Marathon in 2:06:01. This does not mean you are wrong ultimately, Kitata will flame out early if he does not fix these glaring flaws. He is almost off the radar at age 25. Kipchoge set greatest record of all time at age 35.
Watching the elites reminds of when I “technically” beat Gebresalassie in the 2014 Great Scottish Run he pulled up at 5 miles, but I finished. ��
These videos are great. So happy they came up in my feed. Really solid info that I feel I can learn from and use. Already watched about 7 in a row and subscribed. Can’t wait to put some of this in practice. Thanks James, look forward to more.
So I’ve compared how I jog and now I know why I get tired after 2 miles lol I have terrible form and was landing on my heel every time.
The stiff limb discussion is very interesting. It’s kind of like by having a lower ground contact time you’re putting less energy into the spring (leg) and therefore waste less in storage / release.
Meanwhile, I ran 16 miles burning 2200 calories, ate 2500 calories on the day…. and gained weight….
the vaporfly has a lot of offset, he is actually a heel striker.
They’re all wearing Nike Vapourfly’s because that’s who’s willing to pay them the most money, surely? I’d be interested to know if those chaps grew up running in shoes with the same foam and air padding or if their technique was established in something more minimal.
he cannot run alone? why he has 10 running buddies with him? only few meters behind, so most of them run below 2h??
are they there for cheating/helping him? what about techno-doping? (shoes)
Great video, completely mind boggling pace to run sub 2 hour marathon. Most people couldn’t keep up with him on a road bike. Very informative explanation of running form, don’t think enough people give it the consideration it deserves in their training. Amazing to think he’s so good he’s causing the 4th place finisher to over-stride. Exciting times on the horizon in distance running I think.
form is unique for everyone, run EXACTLY how your natural form is
Just thought I’d share, for those looking to try these out. I mimicked Kipchpoge’s form and incorporated these tips into my 1st run in a week, out of curiosity. It was odd how quickly I was moving along, and it took some getting used to, because it felt almost like I was flat-footing for the duration of the run. Maintaining a consistent cadence and stride length resulted in an overall consistent pace, and I was able to match and almost exceed the pace of my average 5K, even though I’ve been increasing my distance incrementally for a couple of weeks now. That means that instead of losing progress over the course of a week, I progressed simply by altering my running form. Previously, I would land strictly on my toes as a sprinter would, but manipulating my weight distribution made toe planting obsolete. Now, I’ve averaged 6:35/mi, even beyond 5 km. I implore everyone to follow the tips in the video as closely as you can — the results may not be immediate, but they will be significant. Ciao!
Could you make a video on how you recover after running? Would be interesting to see!
Heel striking and being able of running five feet behind Eliud? I take it all life long ��
It’s only a mid-foot strike because his heels are so high… if he was in mimialist shoes… I believe it would be more forefoot.
I’m curious about Kipchoge’s foot landing position in terms of ankle inversion and toes pointing slightly outward at touch down. Looks to me like this results in a pretty pronounced amount of pronation as he carries through stance phase… dare I say “overpronation.” I use the quotes because I am a skeptic about the categorization of some pronation as excessive versus a lesser degree as “neutral.” It seems a rather arbitrary distinction, difficult to measure quantitatively (since the motion happens in fractions of a second), and may not be altered by various forms of technology in stability shoes such as “medial posting” or “guide rails.” I think a large part of it is just a false classification system embraced by the shoe industry to market products, and pushed by podiatrists to sell custom orthotic inserts (both parties have substantial conflict of interest in terms of selling something).
Should we as runners even be thinking about such a small and fast motion at the end of our extremities? Or is it counterproductive to address specifically when there are larger gait mechanics at play up higher in the kinetic chain which may be potential targets to improve running efficiency/economy?
It would be interesting to compare footage of him in marathons pre-vaporfly, when he was using the Nike Streak or other more traditional racing flats, to see if the high stack of soft zoomX foam may be contributing to more pronation.
I don’t mean to come off as overly critical this is one of your best videos in my opinion. Appreciate all of your great content James, and any insights you may have on Kipchoge’s pronation here.
excellent analysis of running techniques, i noticed that more knee bend = more rise and fall of the body, which is using energy to combat gravity in a vertical direction, which wastes energy.
Eliuds energy is used more efficiently for forward movement.
So basically this video is saying, Katata is easily faster than Kipchonge if he fixed his form.
Ils sont cons a regarder la foulée des coureurs champions. Chacun a sa propre morphologie/corpulence lorsqu’ils courent donc au lieu de faire ce que vous faites, allez plutôt vous entrainez dur comme ils font. Remarque: Pour avoir une bonne foulée lever la tête afin de vous agrandir et courez naturellement, vous verez que la poose de votre pied se fera comme sur la vidéo. 😉
This is awesome. 4 minutes down the video and it already showed heaps of valuable concepts. Cheers!:D
Me: listening to all the crazy training he does and distances he runs
Me: yes, relatable
You run according to your body mechanics your running style is what it is
Their stride length make me feel like I am such a shy virgin that can’t even stride half of their stride with same height as them…
I find Bekele stride length is longer than eluid…technically
I love all the experts here declaring heel striking as “bad” when none here ever ran a below 2:05 marathon or won Kona iron man and never will lol
His shoes are not the minimalist zero drop ones so forefoot strike would be more visible
Very interesting. I did the minimal amount of sports science in school but I love to run and when I get back into it I will remember this advice and work on my strides.
These are world class runners. You absolutely CANNOT assumed and judged which running style is better. There are different running styles.
looks more like he lands outside midfoot, then balls of foot for that pronation and spring off, then its toe off. 3 steps for the perfect strike
If you watch the twin brothers of New Zealand on “Vice” who went to Kenya, they have practiced that motion of running with stride, just like this guy, so it’s a 80/20 where the 20% of his running is a slight spring type of stride. It’s amazing when you watch some one run with that type of stride. Also your so right the cadance is important too, but one thing is that they actually use a beat/ryhtum type of running. It’s amazing learn it.
Let me save y’all 11:21 of your time.
Run more and you’ll be betterz
Seems a lot of people doscussing the “heel strike” of the other runner. Watch the video closely and focus on him. He has the greatest dorsiflexion of any of the runners and even though the heel of the shoe hits the ground you can see he is still airborne when this happens and the foot falls in time with his body to essentially land the same as the other runners. I think its a bit of an optical illusion to compare what his feet are doing to a casual runner who has heel strike.
Kipchoge is ugly as hell. His face looks 50 years old but he’s definitely impressive!
I stopped trying to run like other people who weigh a lot more or less than I do, along with different leg length, type of feet, and body mechanics.
Where does his mind go as he runs,really he is monk doing meditation while running
Be a good human, do good things, and search for happiness noted
17 miles? beast! what shoes are you wearing during your training days?
1:37 look at the 3rd guy. and his landing position of foot. Most of us would named that as bad becase of heel first contact. BUT if he is able to run with eliuds tempo, he cant be bad runner.
Brilliant analysis James, do you do analysis for us mere mortal runners? I’m a fair runner but would like to get better and improve my running form.
Awesome analysis James, one more thing to notice is from the front side, the way he runs his foot is always in the mid of his body. As a result of which his centre of mass is always contained in the body, thus more stable run
Your calculations are way fkn off dude.
Your meals macros don’t match the calories and you counted the pasta as 1 pound of UNCOOKED pasta. You did not consume 1 pound of raw pasta. That is equal to consuming almost 3 pounds of cooked pasta. Also what bagels are you eating that contains that much calories? From what I can see the calories add up to about 4 k. I suggest you look up what 5-6 K calorie diet looks like and you would realise what it actually looks like.
Insha allah, ramadan mubarak 2020
Was part of the athletics team in school way back….Dad was a runner too, that’s when I picked up to always land on my fore/mid foot. Today, I can’t land on my heel even if I tried…..lol!!!
So this landing on the fore, mid or heel all has to do with the formative traning when we r younger….
Is it good putting your hand in like a fist tight while jogging or running, does it tire me out? I heard doing that is bad but idk.
Stick him on the trails, then see how good is he, when you can’t keep a constant stride pattern and pace.
Terrific video, thanks. Great comparison between Kitata and Kipchoge.
He did NOT run under 2:00. It was fake. He needs to run by himself.
Just found your channel, and ima be watching every video��������keep it up
‘5 Simple Ways for YOU to Run Better’ So simple, but why can’t every runner do them? Is it lack of proper training, or Kipchoge is just naturally talented?
does anyone know what kind of Nike running shoes does he have on?
I just realized something… This dude is 34 years old here… Thirty fucking four!!! He looks like 50+… I wonder if it’s just unlucky genetics or if it’s caused by running all the time and exhausting his body…
Just look at the enlarged thumbnail… https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/andAaS6Lyc8/maxresdefault.webp
Honest question…. You’re picking on that one runner’s form, saying it’s “what we don’t want to see”… Yet, he’s a world class runner. His “bad form” is clearly working for him, so does that throw into question all the advice we’re getting about “the best” form? Perhaps form is entirely dependent on your own physiology.
How do you even practice forefoot striking? I feel like I’m a heel striker but I don’t know how to actually make adjustments to my form. Whenever I try it, it feels like I’m skipping or tip-toeing and bouncing, I can’t make it look or feel smooth like kipchoge does.
