This video is so meditative. They are just pounding that pavement. A really intimate look at some of the top top athletes in the world I can't even fathom the pace they're running at and how they're able to sustain that pace for over 26 miles. Just insane.

I wonder why he (Kipchoge) even took initiative to lead the pack ? Did he wants to control the tempo of race? and miscalculated other's ability to hang with him at suicidal Pace for such a long time ? But Cheet was pretty clever ran a very smart race.

His running form is beautiful

The foot cadence you hear of the lead pack is what you call the sound of human efficiency.

I was thinking that too. No ear pieces/headphones. Just straight focused on the run and the natural sounds of it.

The cameraman here was Gold! Ahahahahh ☝️🏆🏆

The pace is just insane!

Now i can look at his running form! Thank YOU!

Kipchoge has the best stride I’ve ever seen. So strong and relaxed

holy hell, to run at that pace for 26 miles is quite something.

The last one is the moroccan Talbi in his debut marathon. Placed fifth. Great job.

Kipchoge paced everyone and almost everyone was just drafting behind him, until it was time to pounce on him. It's not easy to be number 1. Everyone is gunning for you. It's not easy just because he makes it look easy. Kipchoge is different. He loves and respects the game so much.

They were going way to fast since the beginning, and Boston course is the most difficult one, as kipchoge being first time on this course he started way to hard I think they were going 2:50 per KM, once they pased the half maraton they speed up just making it impossible and blew himself out, Scott Fauble talked about that, and he said he knew most of them were not being able to keep up like that. Fauble beat all the Americans in the pack and he was behind them. Conner Mantz was his first marathon ever, the only experienced were kipbruto, Chebet, Geay and CJ they knew kipchoge was digging his own hole.

Very cool perspective..thanks for posting!!!

Connor Mantz is such an inspiration.

Nothing short of impressive man. That pace.

I don’t know what it is about Kipchoge… His running form just looks next level/ basically perfect compared to everyone else. Also, does he even breathe through his mouth?!

@jakerussell135

Жыл бұрын

ive seen some stuff about kipchoge's breathing. He has a Vo2 max of about 80, which is certainly exceptional, but less than most people would have expected (probably closer to 90). that is superhuman is how efficiently he uses his air. yes, he breathes through his mouth, but he uses his air so efficiently that he barely needs to. he uses as much on a marathon as you or I would use on an easy run

Agree. Beautiful to watch

Kipchoge looks smooth while the guys next to him look like they are struggling to keep up.

They eventually did the first half in less than 1h. Some of the runners on this lead pack were way over their most optimal pace for the full distance and paid for it on the second half. I guess the chance to run next to Kipchoge was priceless.

@Evan Young so this was mile 9 and by mile 18 Connor was no where in sight.. why? Because Connors marathon pace is no where near kipchoges. What were they running at mile 9 probably like 4:40 a mile? If mantz can't keep that up for an entire marathon why is he running that? Even if it is early on why? You're gonna gas yourself out. Like I said mantz is a good runner man im not taking anything away from him. He's gutsy but he could've ran a quicker time if he would've ran his own race

Congratulacions Conner Mantz. Great job bro .

The camera man end up in the hospital that day with 2 tanks of oxygen to catch up his breathing.

The cameraman at 0:35 was battling for his life at that pace xD

he be the goat

Who are the people running along side them…just fans?? That’s pretty awesome that they are allowed to just run alongside greatness like that.
