Yes but not in the way that most people think. A Pacers goal is NOT to win the event they are in. Whereas in any other sport a pro athletes goal is to win. This is why they make the differentiation. Do you consider a coach to be a professional athlete? But yeah of course we all know pacers are pro athletes too technically.

I watched this race live (webcast), and it was an experience. The commentators were basically stuck in disbelief the entire time, and came up with quite a few different ways (in German) of saying that his pace was extremely fast. I saw him drop his last pacer around the halfway mark, but I had no idea that his pacers were competitive runners being brought in specially. Not surprised that his pacers for the sub-2 run were all world-class competitive runners, even if they were only running 5k shifts with him.

Can't they have another set of (fresher) pacers who start at halfway. This will push the athletes to push for world records.

@helixzenith

2 жыл бұрын

That’s what they did for his race in Vienna. Not in marathons with official records though; since a runner, or pacer, starting from halfway would kind of be cheating, and the route of the marathon is only reserved for people actually racing. If that were the case, then you could have the pacers organized in a way that allows for the area around Eluid to be more aerodynamic, thus giving him a competitive advantage. Here you still kind of have that at the start but it goes away as more pacers drop out. They are mostly there just to set him up and make sure that he paces himself earlier on and then simply maintains the same pace he had during the first half. Also keep in mind the pacers were only there to help him go just slightly over the record and not smash it in the time that he did. Because he was going so fast (much faster than they expected), the other pacers were not able to keep up and dropped out early.

Hi Mike- In marathon racing the pacer is also one of the competitors. If a runner can’t keep up the pacer’s speed and if pacer manages to finish ahead of all runners then it actually means the pacer won the race. The pacer would win the marathon prize money in addition to his pacer fee. However, this a very highly unlikely scenario and happened only once at a Doha marathon where the pacer actually won the race. This is the reason why you can’t switch pacers in a official marathon race. Hope this helps.

@@srinitaaigaura That's exactly why I think the rule doesn't make sense. These top runners are not as good as Kipchoge, so even if they can make it to 30km, then won't make the full distance at that pace and they'll have to bow out. But maybe if they ran at a slightly slower pace they'd place top 10 just a minute or 2 back from Kipchoge. They give up their own competition just to be a pacer and there aren't many people who can do it. However, there would be plenty of people who could run Kipchoge's marathon pace for 5km or 10km, and they could easily pace the entire race if they were allowed to switch in and out.

Bro kipchoge isn’t even tired on the end...

Dude is running and celebrating like he run 100m.

He just broke the record today!

Eliud is a legend😘

From the the thumbnail I was waiting for the part where Kipchoge is asking the pace setter to hurry up🤣🤣

Great job sir.

I remember that race, I was on the edge of my seat looking at the clock for the sub 2. What a master class.

I could sprint my absolute hardest for an entire mile and will still be two minutes slower than him. and runs that fast for 26 miles straight without even being short of breath. this man is insane

Genius , Kipchoge was smiling most of the run ;) Genius !

props to that pacer for keeping that up for over half a marathon that guy is nuts

He needs to redo the race with 8 proffesional runners as pacers spread out throughtout the race.

Just get a horse at this point

I can see the possibility of drones perhaps being pacers for future races. This is a very interesting topic.

That's so incredible.....more than mesmerising

Absolute alien of a dude. He must feel like a damn super hero.

Those pacers absolutely unneeded, what Eliud needs is a big windshield robot

When I was in middle school I ran 1 mile in 5 minutes and 50 seconds was my best time. I am 44 years old now and it takes me 13 minutes to accomplish a 1 mile run. I am extremely out of shape. But even when I was in the best shape of my life when I was a teenager I still can’t even keep up with Kipchouge. He’s out of this world

I was ‘fast’ when I was younger. And it still took me 3 full years of nonstop training in order to run one mile at his marathon pace. I was barely able to do that for 2 miles at my best. Now, in my 30s…. I have dreams of 2hr 30 min marathon. Thinking about one minute faster every mile melts my motivation.

That man is a machine !

Bro the most insane thing is how composed he looks throughout the race and after the race

Kipchoge : I AM the pace!

It's true all he says... Even on Eneos event for 1.59:00 he was using professional athletes... Not pacers... Coz it was impossible pace to keep up with... Eliud is just a freak of nature...

Two of my favourite long distance runners are named Kipchoge decades apart in there profession.#KeepJogging

And still we rise 🙌

There are perhaps no more than a few thousand runners in the world at any given point in time that can run sub 30 in a 10K. Only a few hundred runners can run a 61 minute half marathon. So to do that, then negative split that for the second half like Kipchoge did at Berlin, is super-human.

So basically the pacers are paced by the guy who's supposed to be paced by the pacers and is now the pacer to these pacers.

Amazing!

you know hes going for the sub 2hr marathon now

I will beat that record one day 💫

I dont get it, like it makes sense eliud is beating the pacers, hes the fastest marathon runner in the world. If Pacers were faster than the top runners they'd be running the marathons themselves right? Unless they're given some sort of advantage, like starting halfway, Pacers for the top runners dont make sense to me.

Damn..hail Kipchoge!! Long live kipchoge!

We have long established the guy is a GOAT on world of his own peerless in distance running....... The only people left down playing his prowess are key board warriors and coach potatoes that have never completed a single KM on the track leave alone the road the rest of us are just in owe of his almost casual pace for such a long distance

Maybe if Bekele was his pacer since he is the only one who can match him. Or vice versa.

Imagine being in a state where you're gasping for air, tired as fuck and still have 30 mins to run... AT ELIUD's pace ! I'd just lay down and die 😭

Simpliemente impresionante, eriza los pelos.

the last pacer to drop out was digging deep... respect!
