Lmfaooo look at the slomo at the end most of them only have 1 foot in the ground
Walking fast is a cake walk for me! Comes natural. Only I don’t look like I’m looking for a bathroom like this guy ��
Show me one race wacker that isn’t a failed runner. I’ll wait.
Lol it looks funny but power walking is an amazing exercise, helps mental focus also.
… don’t think its harder then running…..you try running for 30km against other people…
he’s walking a way fast like roller coaster 1 too intense for him
f*** you, you lazy half assed nerds, it is one of the most pysically demanding sports
I’m 53 I did 13mls power walking yesterday I averaged 3.7mph I’ve never done it before and I’ve not walked far since 2015
I feel like I’ve been run over
And heels got massive blister’s ��
Bin 2017 beim EPflex Walking mitgelaufen und hab meine Erfahrungen im Video dokumentiert, schaut doch mal vorbei:)
Is anyone else having a problem with the audio fading in and out on this video?
I know I know, it’s just walking but this short tutorial had a lot of helpful pointers. Thanks.
Will do this there’s only masked people on the streets anyway
you know you shouldn’t make that comment in EVERY sport there’s a sort of cheating so not just racewalk and if you tried “it” then you should know and not every racewalker cheats, you know just like any other sport. next time please don’t make that comment the only thing that’s terrible here is you.
For a race walker not a sutiable video as too much strain on body
isnt power walking the same thing to racewalking except the bending of the knees?
My dad needs to watch this so he can get home from the shop quicker
My friends literally walk so fast I am wheezing by the time we go home
Hal can catch a jogger faster than his DEA Agent brother-in-law can catch him cooking. Let that sink in.
Hey guys and girls i need to know where to Get a helmet like this!!! So any links would be appriciated.
I remember as a kid my favourite character would always be Dewey because of how cunning he was learning from his brother’s mistakes later on in the show but goddamn I think Hal takes the cake at the moment.
when mom says lacrosse is too dangerous, so she just take the curved cup off of the stick and i wear it as a hat for my new favorite passtime.
When you realize Malcolm in the Middle created the plot of 1917.
I hope that if aliens ever visit the Earth, and humans are no longer here, that this is the only thing they find left of us
i will not walk like i am in some shitty japanese dating video game
For those making fun of this method, know that racewalking (which this is) is an Olympic sport. The world record for racewalking 31 miles (50 kilometers) was done at a pace of less than 7 minutes per mile. How many people can run a 7-minute mile for even one mile, let alone WALK 31 miles at that pace? Maybe you don’t want to do this yourself, but at least appreciate the athleticism of those who do.
I’ve done this when I was trying to get away from the weird walking behind me the moment I turned the corner I ran

When you use a 5 lb. X2=10 lb. belt to go for a walk, you will feel the upper body strength will increase significantly. See the simulation animation color change and know it! web to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0BUwHzEdh8
I’ve read that race walking burns more calories than powerwalking.
I’d rather power walk/brisk walk than jog. Better for knee health.
I love power walking.
One time someone asked me if I was a lesbian, because I was walking in a “feminine” way. Oh well.
I still can’t believe they put this stupid ‘sport’ in the Olympics.
Hnnnnng Dewey… I’m trying to race walk, but I’m dummy thicc and the clap of my ass cheeks keeps making me run.
Getting to your class in 10 minutes when it’s on the other side of campus ☠️☠️
the instructions weren’t clear enough people seem to think i am a homosexual and try to proposition me

After a night of really eating spicy foods, that’s how one should navigate the house directly to the bathroom.
Ok so was looking to start power walking, because running has killed my knees, but I’m fearful of looking like a prat now!!
Walking this way can burn as many calories as running without hurting joints!
i will never do this in public this guy looks like the whitest choch ever
You should make a video on how to deal with the social ostracization that results from power walking.
“Race walk” sounds racist until you watch them trot. Then you watch them trot, can’t find a black chick in sight, and realize your initial assumption was right.
I power walk all the time and don’t care who sees me. It’s how I dropped 10 pounds since December 2017. I do it in the park and around my neighborhood. Oh, and I also happen to be a man:-)
I tried power walking in the hood…….and got beat up…….
Why they have gay ass to show pple how to walk
They need pple 2 become gay lol gd
Did no one catch that joke at 0:06?
“Apparently this man is a lot like you girls, Y’all can’t get enough looking at my backside.” Implying the girls had strap-onS XD
That’s not consider walking it’s pretty much very slow running.
Looks like one of those anime girl walks. Sorry I’m a weeaboo.
Enjoyed this video and have subscribed to your channel. I used to racewalk a very long time ago, liking the fitness and camaraderie, but stopped because it was just too difficult to manage technique well enough to avoid DQs.
(By the way, Marianne’s technique is beautiful to watch, especially in slow-motion. So smooth and elegant)
Have JUST discovered senior athletics and powerwalking TODAY and am enthused. Am 64, live in Los Angeles and am wondering where people are training? Even before Covid-19, schools were closing up outdoor tracks to public use. ANY suggestion would be appreciated.
Much of what you see on this video makes good sense. It is a good idea to work on your cadence more than on your step length. Trying to push your foot too far forward is tiring and inefficient. The best thing you can do for your stride length is to push off with your toes, that will increase your stride length with anything from barely an inch to two inches. I also think that you can make do without flailing quite that much with your arms. I am an old man of 74 years, but I can comfortably walk 13-minute miles using a walking technique that essentially is equal to this one, just a little less flamboyant.
Im considering trying race walking or power walking for my triathlons or 5k run events now as ive torn both cartlages in my knees had 3 ops on them and find running kind of hard now running 30 mins for 5k now is it possible to do 5k by race walking?
Now imagine the guy in the video is buff as hell and holding a whip while powerwalking
I would have liked to see the same person demonstrating each style with a slo-motion breakdown of each technique. Then put up a split screen to compare each side by side. Using two different people to demonstrate each style makes it harder to grasp especially due to the different postures of the demonstrators.
Shit im going to look funny like im holding me pee but my ass is to big to run so ill walk funny my gosh the comments got me laughing hard
This is a great video, thanks for showing the difference. A couple of other videos describe how there’s low impact on the joints and body in race walking. Is that true for power walking as well? Is one form easier on the joints than another? Thanks, Di (from Australia).
This is exactly the kind of sport that I’d expect Hal to like it’s just like him goofy and Idiotic I cannot believe that this is an Olympic sport.����������
is hip drop allowed in powerwalking what is the minimum degree does the forward knee has to be bent?
New to this and wondering why you say “…until I too make the switch to power walking…”? Is there something about the differences that make power walking more suitable for an older person if they are already well versed in technique?
Unfortunately Maryanne has what racewalkers call creep. I am a masters level race walk judge and she has a slight bend in her knee and if she raced in a USATF event, she could be called on a bent knee. I know her personally and she is a very nice person, but is more interested in helping the powerwalk and bent knee instead of real race walking.
I have a question. Why does it look like he is squatting? Especially when they are walking next to each other? Is this a by-product of the power walking technique?
If you walk on your heels for a few meters somebody is going to call the police and say “there is a crazy man walking around”!
Great job explaining the difference. Also great to see others Power Walking and or Race walking through a Triathlon. I love the Triathlon, but running is so hard on my body and lower back. But after seeing you in action I am going to Power Walk my way through a Triathlon next summer. Yeah very excited for that! Thanks again for providing me inspiration to compete in a Triathlon using a power walk technique.
that’s almost a half marathon in 1:26… let’s see all those talking shit RUN a half marathon in that sorta time
I remember seeing a lady racewalking when we’d be riding the city bus home from school. She looked weird and the older boys would laugh, but I liked that she was all about fitness and enjoying herself.
I love power walks by because my knees lock up. Burns awesome calories! Throw in a few hills! Amazing!
What a croc of shit. Nothing to be proud of. Just a watered down event for failed marathon runners or idle gets
Thank you so much for posting this! Very helpful!! Blessings to you!
So with the ability to bend your knee with power walking at the beginning of the stride does this lessen the impact therefore making it easier on the joints? Looking for the healthiest distance cardio i can do for the long term with great fat loss potential. Thanks
I’m french, if hal had been on our side on the world war II, my country would never have lost against hitler!
You put Castlevania music in your ipod/mp3. Preferably Belmont themes since they do Power walking
These people r actually painful like who likes these people. They are not even funny and they r wierd, they are attacking other sports because they shit at everything they do so they make fun if sports to feel better
It’s weird, speedrunners and progamers are respected for their dedication and at the very least racewalking; As dumb as it looks: Gives you a healthy body. Gaming is a passion of mine sure but I can freely admit there’s very few positives when it comes to the physical side.
To the people saying race walking takes high levels of endurance, skill, and is very demanding you missed the point of this video. Not once did these guys discount those qualities; they might even believe those to be true and side with you they are just making the argument that race walking is a terribly thought-out “sport”. That’s it.
Im highschooler who does race walking, ranked 13 in nation and their just mad because they didn’t win their race walking tournaments
You fool you have no idea of walking so dont dare to talk about it
Honestly racewalking seems like an interesting, unique, and athletic activity. It seems like all of the problems with racewalking you mentioned (except for potentially looking silly) could be solved by using an objective means to determine whether or not a competitor’s shoes leave the ground. Think piezoelectric sensors in the soles or electrical contacts with the ground.
(For comparison, we have a whole ton of sports that had criteria that were difficult to realize until the introduction of electronic monitoring systems: fencing, tennis, football, soccer, basketball, etc.)
The world racewalk record at FIFTYkm is 3h:21m. Let that sink in.
I bet he couldn’t RUN a FORTYkm that fast.
And the movements of the legs during race walking is smaller and it has to be very fast, it’s not like running, when you race walk you want to push your legs forward but you can’t because of the technique.
Lol the guy with the hoodie is a alien! Look how long his arms are and that head???? Lol
1:15 1:32 That is a picture of a race-walker disqualified…..according to the rules anyway
it is if both feet are off the ground to the naked eye of the judges
I walk in my own pace not walking like that
I just like to walk longer distance without chafing
I train a race walker. I don’t race walk myself, but I sometimes attempt to do it with her while she’s training. I know firsthand how difficult it is. My shins are usually a screaming ball of fire within 200 meters. For all of you naysayers….if you ever find yourself in Kansas City, I’d invite you to a training session. I’ll make video of you attempting to race walk. I’ll interview you afterward to see what you thought. I’ll post the results here. I know for a fact that you’ll have a new appreciation for race walking. I ran a full 26.2 mile marathon only seven weeks ago. I’d rather run another marathon than endure a full single mile of race walking, that’s how much race walking hurts.
Its unnatural. Either walk or run. This ‘Sport’ is an absolute joke.
A gamer WTF….lives in his mom’s basement and plays games!!!!
Wow. Race walking is a sport and it’s an endurance event. Don’t you have anything better to talk about? I find this offensive
Race walking should only exist as a Paralympics sport for people who’s unable to run because of worn out joints.
I’m not a race walker, but if these people knew the athleticism and endurance it takes to compete at the highest levels, they would likely be less inclined to ridicule the sport. To put it into perspective, walkers who compete in the 50k events cover more distance than marathoners and must do so in less than four hours.
Why they all falling down lmao? Just when I thought my YouTube rabbit hole couldn’t get any weirder
I’m a guy and if I walked like this, I might be thought of as, well you know
you know you shouldn’t make that comment in EVERY sport there’s a sort of cheating so not just racewalk and if you tried “it” then you should know and not every racewalker cheats, you know just like any other sport. next time please don’t make that comment the only thing that’s terrible here is you.
Hal and Wheeler challenged their inner Majin Buu with those outfits
basuras se nota que no saben de nada, solo por su azpecto sabemos que son unos perdedores, que lo que pueden hacer es criticar.
Congratulations race walkers, you can walk slightly faster than everyone else!!
I, in the past, might have agreed with this premise of this video, but having been a runner and now a race walker, I find that race walking is more demanding, more rewarding and more challenging. I enjoy it far more than I ever did running and get pleasure out of defeating “runners” in events such as 5K, 10K and more. It is easy to mock, but to do it correctly, is not easy and it is a legitimate and worthwhile activity. Walk On!
If you don’t think race walkers.cheat’ then look at the Youtube video ‘Race walking or Race jogging’, then decide. The sport is an athletics joke.
I just love people that have,nothing in common with something and make experts out of themselves. I am racewalker and I don’t agree with your arguments (if I can call this argument). Talk to other racewalkers, ask them about sense of racewalking. Each of them will tell you.
This actually looks like a good low impact exercise for people with knee problems who can’t run
Ps, I know a race walking state champion… She thinks it’s that dumb, too.
Good job Alina Galchenko. It broke my heart to see your legs loose power. As an athlete like you, a similar thiing happened to me.
Reese, No! Your mom has to work and my car’s in the shop. You’ll just have to find someone else. Are my hips even? Watch my butt!
Race Walking the most popular sport of 2081
(Harrison Bergeron reference)
I came here from the video “this is why there is a wage gap in WNBA”
When the teacher finally says yes after you asked to use the bathroom numerous times
So one foot has to touch the ground. But if you play the video really solwly (2.20) you can see they don’t touch… Can sb explay why they aren’t disqualified?
someday ill be world champion of this kind of sport.. im humorous guy so halfway already… ill be just perfecting my walking skill…
If she mispronounced the Chinese runners name everyone would be offended. If she says “Chinese” runner everyone is offended.
I watch this when I get depressed, it never fails to make me laugh.
I’ve done a racewalk before and your thighs are dead after you finish
Reminds me of when you forgot about the microwave and its about to start beeping at 3am but you can’t run.
Why is this in my recommended? More importantly why is this sport?
It certainly is difficult but I don’t get it. The object is to ambulate as fast as possible point to point. The restrictions to “walk” seem absurd.
We do race walking at my athletics club and you don’t feel the pain as much when you are walking but when you finish it’s like your legs don’t work anymore. That’s why they look like baby penguins when they finish lmao
“She falls here” and Troy dislocated his shoulder doing a keg flip!
Love the racist call…at the finish it will be Ana Chelenko of Italy…the “Chinese runner in second”……Shitty call for a shitty sport
when someone is holding the door for you but you kinda far away
malcolm in the middle made the first sonic live action movie:S
What I don’t understand is how can you prove they don’t run at some point? in other words, in a very short bit or a stretch with no cameras/spectators, what if someone sprints for about 3 seconds or 5 seconds? It just seems weird. Like boxing where you can’t hurt the other guy (on purpose) or something…
I have been working on my race-walking techniques but I think maybe with my body type power walking may be a better fit for me
Notice how there are no black people in this race ����
There probaly sitting at home laughing their ass off.
Everyone looks so exhausted after this punishing event!! Lol!!
when you boutta shit your pants and gotta get to the bathroom first
Cross-country and track runners look at this and laugh why are they tired
That’s how white people look when they about to go report yo ass to the authority.
She collapsed and still whooped peoples ass. She was down for a good portion of time, I mean how many fucking times did she lap the walkers in the back?!!!!!!!!!! GEEEEEEZZZEEEEE
Stranger: what do you do for a living?
Person: i speed walk.
There is roughly two out of 85,000 people who watched this video that took it seriously
0:54
Someone in a normal sport is warming up and passes the gold medalist XD
This is a thing, but they were going to take wrestling out of the Olympics? SMH.
Now I know who to hire to buy groceries. They can walk through the aisles and get the food stuff a lot quicker. Such a graceful and unique way to walk
Finally, now I know my dream of being an Olympic athlete can come true.
His daydreams remind me of Ralphie’s outlandish daydreams in A Christmas Story
This is a lot like Forrest Gump lol these walkers are Savage
I learned to racewalk several years back. To me, he is swinging his arms too high. It looks exaggerated and inefficient. I have watched the pro race walkers and never saw this kind of wild arm motion. Proficient racewalking is fluid and beautiful to watch when done properly. Watch some of the pro race walkers and you will see the difference.
My technique for racewalking is pretty good, but I can only go about 4.2 mph. At 72, I have slowed down some. Would my slower pace mean I am not a race walker now, even though my form is good? Can you be considered a race walker if your technique is spot on but lack the speed?
looked stupid people were looking at me like i had special needs with a wtf face so i decided to jog i got 3 big hills to get up before i get to my house i built up quite a sweat
excuse me, but this isn’t bad, since the rain will cool them down.
LOOK AT ME! I CAN WALK!!… 3:09 and the entence oppsesen on why just Why?! This man is faster than Hal…. OH AIR!!!!! He’s Running on AIR!!!! ���� love this episode most of them anyway quite a few I missed some of shows but I’m grateful that I’ve seen some of the best episode’s that was funnier than hell whoever created the entire show Thank you for entertainment for the people everywhere I enjoyed this show!!
@ 2:00 “That’s over 60 miles away!”
Hal volunteered for over TWO marathons!
this montage miss the part where Hal tapes Wheeler and shows everyone that he’s a cheat since both his feets are up in the air
All that time to think about what you are doing with your life…
He simply has the key to a happy life. He sees something he finds interesting and just trys it. He doesn’t care what other people might think and he just joins in. I truly admire that.
this is still 20k of of walking it is harder than running, while running your pushing yourself of the ground to create movement, walking (race walking) keeping one of your feet on the ground at all time while trying to go as fast as you can without overloading your body your using more of your leg muscles alot more.
As a race walker I have a few things to say…. 1race walking is not a GAME 2it’s way harder then running and it takes so much skill, technique and stamina to be good at it so you can’t say anything
Walt: “Say my name.”
Declan: “You’re Walter White.”
Walt: “hold the fuck up”
You broke the first rule is that one foot always has to be on the ground. Your slow mode video shows you are effectively defined as running and not powerwalking.
I did it for me. I liked it….I was good at it. I was alive.
The fact that Bryan Cranston can play this character like this and then play Walter white so perfectly too shows just what an amazing actor he is
2:25
Cap and Falcon: “Can I copy your homework?”
Wheeler: “Sure. Just don’t make it too obvious.”
I am a race waked and it is just as tiring as running an the shortest race is 1 mile an actually you can still get disqualified even after you finish ���� not pleased
You didn’t have the part where Hal figures out he’s cheating and not keeping one foot completely on the ground at all times.
This takes me back to teenage years of high school……….im so glad that’s in the past
I love how Hal gets into things. The muscle men, the walking, the dancing game. Lmao
No way in hell I’m walking like this. The guys butt moves too much side to side.
i saw this in malcom in the middle they made fun of it idident k it was a real sport haha
IDK why, but I’ve always loved they way the race walking group leader refers to “those tai chi punks”
lmao power walking and they all react like they’re about to get into a head own collision with a car, hahahah.
I believe this is the one true moment when Walter becomes Heisenberg
I remember seeing this is Mexico in Spanish on a crappy tv with an antenna as a child good memories
Better than getting stuffed knee jogging over hour when you got runners knee
Ok, Youtube algorithm is scaring me right now. I have just watched this episode on TV and this was posted 7 years ago!
This one and curling are kind of a funny for some reason. More respect to all the athletes. ��������✊��
how tf are they so tired after walking for a couple of minutes
Kamen Rider Racewalker, the best and fastest of the heisei riders
Obligatory Breaking Bad comment: He went from speed walking to speed cooking.
It’s jarring to watch Bryan Cranston act as a lovable child-at-heart father when he also plays a meth cooking egomaniac
you realize the winner walked at a 6 and a half minute pace for nearly 12.5 miles. I consider myself in good shape and could not run it in nearly that time!
When ya rate need a poo but you’ve got to hold it in til the end of the race
I need the scene where he is blending and drinking that awful stuff
The long striding hip swivelling technique looks more like race walking than power walking.
Speed walking is one of the dumbest looking sports, now if they add tackling to this so called sports and make the walkers wear stupid looking outfits with funny helmets, then that is something I can get behind of and support!
Theses people r so gay andweird like get a life and we can tell there life is shot cuase they r trying to a sport get a life
But you can’t fool the tape. The tape sees all, and I see the tape.
You sure got him Hal.
Sonic wasn’t the same after this Malcolm in the Middle episode.
Seems kinda insulting to those olympians who have to bust their asses to get a medal. But to each his own, i guess.
I think that I’d enjoy power walking instead, because I’m not a good runner due to my heart. Is there cross country power walking?
I brisk walk nearly everyday, i more like March fast than normal walking, swinging my arms but not as much as this guy. I do get a lot of bad looks but tbh I don’t give a shit, people cross the road when I’m coming towards them lol but maybe they think I have the virus. Tbh I hate people anyway they judge you for anything, I walk to make me happy and healthy. They can go to hell for all I care
lmao stupid ass skits make me LMAO!! THESE WRITERS HAD TO BE BLASTED
Ahahaha thats me after having to poop in the middle of a run
WTF is this?!?!?!? how is this an Olympic sport…the Athenians would start a war if they knew about this shite
Yes! It’s speed walker! The physically fit superhero who fights crime while maintaining strict adherence to the regulations of the international speed walking association! Heel, toe! Heel, toe! Speedwalker!
Aghh sonofabitch, this would have been amazing with commentary.
Walking speed depends on size of city where you live. As bigger city, as faster you will walk.
https://my-financial-wealth.com/2019/07/24/why-people-walk-faster-in-cities/
wow.. they walk in the rain, better than in the scorching sun I guess, love fastwalking
When your running to the lunch hall and the teachers tell you to slow down
just looking at their lower body looks so… soo hypnotising
i showed this video to a group a freshmen that always walk hella slow in the hall ways
I saw the mens do it and I thought that it was funnier. This was funny but not as funny as the mens race.
Oh, yeah, we used to do this in school. When you needed to get somewhere ahead of everyone else but you couldn’t get caught running. It has it’s uses. Stealth Running should be it’s name.
I can’t believe this is the same guy that played Walter White
“the chinese runner with the silver” but everyone else gets names. okayyy
I don’t get it. It’s so unnatural. It seems like that would be terrible for their bodies in the long-term.
They look like all have fucking ostrich legs when they walk like that.
I dont doubt that its harder then running, and I dont doubt they arent athletic, but you have to admit, they look absolutely stupid, and there are probably other, more interesting events they could have put in the Olympics instead of this one
Coming from a former competitive runner, I got to say this is just stupid. All you are doing is limiting yourself needlessly. Just run dammit!
I remember watching this when this first aired I couldn’t stop laughing at this whole this I’m glad Bryan Cranston is getting more recognition he’s a kickass actor
So.. race walking is in the Olympics.. but not pole dancing?
my calves are hurting just watching this and my abs are hurting ’cause i can’t stop laughing at the worm-dance. PSY’s 3rd hit should be the worm-dance.
watch it at.25 speed. you can totally see how most of them have both feet off the ground between steps. and isn’t that the whole point of this odd duck walk, to have only one foot off the ground at a time or something? why not utilize the old fashioned power walk, which doesn’t look quite as unnatural?
This is beyond the most cooked movie I’ve encountered watched this after a night out and was definitely a laugh rate 420/10
This is hilarious, but I’ve got to admit, it probably does wonders for your calves. (Excuse my spelling) I mean honestly, have you ever speedwalked? You actually feel it your calves. Also, I don’t know how resist the tendency to jog. Don’t get me wrong though, that was hilarious.
You have to wonder if these guys have any idea how pompous this little presentation of theirs comes off. I don’t race walk and do think it’s sort of silly, but not a silly as these two clowns.
The people who are walking last is the equivalent of me jogging
HEY RACE WALKING IS A VERY HARD SPORT. You have equestrians and hand ball players beating you up all the time.
Sincere question here: Why are they falling over? Is this typical to the sport or is this extreme?
Hello mate,Dunno about lateral movement but i have to run a 30miler over Dartmoor every now and again or do a standard yomp and walking even at speed would not get ya within the 8 hour mark. A run against others or with a timelimit will always exert more muscles. I’m not saying walking is easy just its easier then running.
All of those video clips REALLY detract from what you’re trying to teach.
Doug’s posture needs some work. It would improve his walking form considerably.
Italy wins gold in the men’s event and bronze in the women’s. They’re doing something right.
