-"Do you ever do training sessions at night?" -"no, I'm a lazy guy. You made my day man :D

If you come here from the future. Aleksandr broke his own record with 10KM plus. legendary

I love this guy. He's so down to earth. I guess it's b/c he really *is* just a normal guy. Was partying & drinking all the time. Got FAT. Then one day he just decides to start running... like Forest Gump. But he's working in a casino 3 days/wk while simultaneously training, which isn't exactly ideal. Then the pandemic hits. Everything shuts down, and it turns out to be the BEST THING EVER for an ultra runner bc now he can just, "Run, run, run all the time". Ends up breaking the 24hr World Record, and then Nike comes knockin'. LOL! Hahhaha. I freakin' LUV it!!

It took 30-40 years !!!!! for these records of Yiannis Kouros to be broken. With all the equipment, shoes, nutrition and running science runners have available today compared to the 80s... Imagine Yiannis Kouros running back then with VaporFlys... No disrespect to Sorokin but Yiannis Kouros is the GOAT of Ultrarunning.

Great to see this guy starting to get a bit of recognition, he's had such an incredible year of achievements!

Amazing human with so much grace, thank you for highlighting his story 🙌🏾💙

yes very pure. thats always been my attraction to ultra running. such a welcome relief after being saturated with triathlon crap for too long.

This guys is awesome! Great to see him speaking English! Hope to see more of him on the channel!

Thanks for the great video, Aleksandr is so humble, down to earth. Learn a great deal on ultra training, especially on training week, diet and mental preparation.

Great video, highlighting a legend. He is such a humble guy but what a runner. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing this man. Respect. It surprises me that with that apparant effort (only few words at a time possible) he needs so little fuel. Must have an extreem fat burn capacity

A great runner ,with a strong mind !

В прошлый четверг в Израиле Сорокин пробежал за 12 часов 177,4 километра- это же четыре марафона подряд за 2.48 и ещё 8 км с лишним для заминки.Абсолютно такой же темп, как на этой среднегорной пробежке в Итене.И выглядит Александр куда мощнее, чем большинство элитных стайеров- бегунов на 5000 и 10000 м. Вспомнилось, как пловцы и пловчихи через Ла-Манш или Каталину рассказывали, что весили на 5-7 кг больше, чем когда тренировались для соревнований в бассейне

Nice video, so happy about the guy and his dream came true!

Such a great video, thank you

Александр, успехов тебе!

Just brilliant brilliant brilliant. Thank you so much Sweat Elite for bringing us world-class runners from all discipline (Long distance). I would love to know his(Aleksandr) runner's high stories/hallucinations stories if he ever had any of those during long session/race.

I mean he just eat a banana and drank 300 mil of electrolyte also he said it is up and down. After this he broke the 12 hour run record. 24 hours is also in danger. A beast of epic proportions. It is not easy to run like him at all. I have been trying despite being new. i mean even 10 km at 5 km pace is hard even for a decent runner! he is a an ULTRA MARATHON GOAT AND BY FAR. another guy who runs 6 hours and tried to break that 100 km record. he just failed or lately he might have broken. But nobody in this guys class. cracking 300 kms for 24 hours is ridiculous. he has full sponsorship now and pandemic helped him to boost all the way. meaning 2 years nothing but running. he says he runs 300 km/week. wth? that is like a marathon per day man! His nation should honor him like japanese do for their citizens: for example: the japanese awarded one million prize for anyone who broke their nationals marathon record and not necessarily get first position at olympics! Any body who betters their national record gets a million: that is incredible respect for the event! I have never heard or seen anything like that! I just cant get over that top statement! so he must do that in japan. they would honor him. what he is doing is unbelievable. if kipchoge tried this he would land up in hospital and this guy can run marathon in 2.20 like it is nothing! he is 41 or 42 already! The africans only go for as marthon where there is prize money( that is the only game in town and they have no other option but to give it all) they are not in to low budget ultras which needs sponsorship to survive and which is a rarity( he got it after breaking world records. come on now!) so HUGE RESPECT FOR THIS MAN AND HE HAS INSPIRED LOT OF FOLKS!
