World Record Progression: The Marathon
Vložit

- The Marathon is a distance that many try to conquer for their own reasons, whether it be to finish one or to set a new personal best. A select few, however, would seek to became the fastest in the world across this discipline, and in due time, would break one of the most iconic barriers in sports history as as result.

1st. rip Kiptum
R.I.P. Kiptum
😢Rest Easy champ 2:00:35 is mind blowing...just insane
Cartel got him 😞
Some people love scandal too much, will believe anything that fits their need for drama.

RIP ... 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
The fact that Ronaldo da Costa had the audacity to *cartwheel* after breaking the WR by 45 seconds is ridiculous, just as ridiculous as that cameraman missing the whole thing.
The Summoning Salt of the running world
Would be fun to hear "and then he had this run..." cue the music
@@mheurtevent1 And that new world record was set by... Matt Turk.
This dude has been great at 'analysis' content for a while now
Kelvin Koptum will go down as the biggest what if in sports history
one of
That's a massive category to be at the top of, but I won't argue that.
Sammy Wanjiru is on that list.
@@jamestremblett1875 Definitely. The similarities between the two are striking (same age, same country, similar potential, and a tragic and unexpected death). I was a bit surprised that Wanjiru wasn't mentioned in the video (or did I miss it?), but I guess it's a video about the marathon WR, and Wanjiru sadly never got the chance to break that.
RIP Kiptum, definitely a future GOAT contender 😢
The perfect video to listen to while i fall asleep
Absolutely😂
I thought those exact words before i fall asleep
DITTO
This guy has such a great voice
Gosh that was a gut punch, I'd completely missed the news of Kiptum dying, RIP to a legend
This is a fantastic video. the history of marathon and marathon race records is not something you really think about much. thanks for putting this together.
46:22 Huh - Ingebrigtsen paced Kipchoge for the Ineos Sub2? Well, didn’t know that.
All 3 brothers together actually
This was fantastic! Any chance of one of these for the women's record? It has a very interesting origin story and I'm curious to know the progression
Great video!
RIP Kiptum
Man that news reporter hit like a ton of bricks. I didn’t know the story…
Abebe Bikila being able to get a world record while barefoot is something I'll never be able to wrap my head around. Such a good runner.
Holy sh*t this channel’s underrated!
If only Kiptum hadn’t died
Thank you for honoring Kiptum. Great video, I enjoyed it.
I knew nothing about marathon runners and their records before watching this. That last part hit me hard. I got all excited for Kiptum’s potential, before that ending knocked me down.
This is one of the most well-researched videos on athletics I've ever seen! Loved it, thank you for taking the time to make it
My running coach just died on a layover to europe, and when I heard right now about Kelvin Kiptum it reminded me of my coach and how we never know what life is gonna through at us 😪rest in peace to them both.
I’ve been waiting for this
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put this together! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this wonderful video!
It’s fascinating how running the marathon at a competitively fast distance is so difficult, even for top talent-almost more of a struggle than a 50k ultra marathon, with an expectation of a slower pace (and usually on trail).
The goat is back 🙏
I love this video! would love to see one talking about the women runners in the marathon world!!
Awesome video. Enjoyed the long form documentary style
Best youtube running channel!
New Runnerboi video, this is a great day
Love the video and channel
This is a great video...
I've been an average(level 4 marathon runner) and these guys never fail to fascinate me...
Beautiful video, thank you so much for Share this great job
Great Video.
Such an amazing video
Amazing video
people who has never ran a marathon or even a half marathon won't understand how impressive it is to even complete one in those stiff and ultra-thin shoes in the 20th century. Nowadays even the cheapest running shoes have at least a good chunk of midsole/outsole and is pretty comfortable to run, the shoes back then barely had any shock absorbing midsole.
Great video! Little hurt that you showed the Düsseldorf marathon Elevation graph instead of the Rotterdam one at 54:28
What a video. Long live the legends
amazing video
Nothing to do with WRs, but you mentioned in the beginning that some people enjoy competing in multiple marathons a year. That reminded me of Slovakia's Zdeno Chara, a 24-year NHL (hockey) veteran who, in a 12-month stretch from April '23 to April '24, completed EIGHT marathons. His PB of 3 hours, 11 minutes, and 4 seconds came from his most recent race at London '24, just 6 days after he ran the '24 Boston Marathon. What's even more impressive is that he stands at an insane 6'9", weighs 256 pounds, and is at the age of 47. That's pretty neat! 😎🆒️
Great video, thanks a lot! just interesting, these early runners, did they take some dops? i guess, nobody got tested by this time?
Wake up babe new RunnerBoi video
Bro i this vidio is SOo good ❤
Excellent video.
One slight omission in not covering the pro circuit times from 1908-1912; which were not only years ahead of IAAF-approved amateur times, but were set on more reliably measured and non-point-to-point courses.
(Due to being run on indoor tracks, which were much easier to measure than a long and sprawling road course. Technically they were slightly short of today's full distance due to a quirk in how American tracks were measured prior to WW1, but road courses in that era could be off by a lot more.)
RIP Kiptum :(
I love your long form videos. Its so nice to be able to just put these on in the backround while doing homework.
babe wake up the runner boi dropped
He’s the definition of “what if” but may kiptum rest in peace, we all know he’s up there above
One of the craziest things about this is just how fast guys were running a century ago.
HEY HEY HEY, I LOVE RUNNING
after the first record was so slow I was feeling hot like "damn maybe my times will keep up for a bit" and it just immediately jumps to sub 3 lmao
Kelvin Kiptum ... RIP 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
R.I.P. Kevin Kiptum
You will never be forgoten
what resources do you use for the world records i want to see the lost of people?
I hope you can cover the 100m world record progression
RIP Kiptum 😢
curious what the race nutrition was like back then. I don't think gels were a thing, so maybe they took juice or fruits?
Where is Sammy wanjiru at on this list ? He broke records , 2:06: 32
O.G. Speedrunners +respect
So why was the chicago course suddenly legal for the recent records, was it changed to be longer? that part didn't seem to be covered in the video, otherwise a very entertaining watch :).
When does he say it wasn't legal? It might have not been before 1984 before they held the Olympics there and really opened it up to international athletes, it doesn't specify. I thought the 3 records that were set at Chicago were all ratified
@@brandonm8901 Well I guess im asking why the more recent records were ratified, when he gave the reasoning that the older records weren't ratified because the course was too fast.
@@klooger28 I'm asking which records at Chicago weren't ratified because I can't find in the video where he says there were any. The three records set at Chicago have all been verified
@@brandonm8901 seems it was the new york marathon, my bad
@RunnerBoi your next video should be the WR progression for the 10,000m. You have done the 5,000m, mile, and now the marathon. How about the 25 lap race?
Running a 2:15 min marathon without shoes is crazy
I'm not a runner, but these videos are awesome. Dumb question: what percentage of serious runners run a whole marathon without walking periodically? The best I've ever done is running 19 minutes or so without stopping.
Generally people don’t stop unless something unexpected happens
"Serious runners" as in competitive/high level athletes, almost all of them - unless they blow up because of a bad racing strategy - but if you just mean people that enjoy running and do it almost every day, a lot of them wouldn't be equipped to take on a full marathon
as a finnish person, we all good but you pronouncing that finnish name kinda sounds like a finnish man 15 vodkashots deep trying to do the same xdd much love though, really great video! ❤
edit: oh no I should have realized there would be more xdd my language is just fucked to pronounce
Yeah you won't need to update this in your lifetime
running
So wheelchair's coming ?
Part 2 in 2124
So Start Weapon Reset time is 0:00:00 ?
I have seen no evidence to suggest that the Rotterdam course on which Derek Clayton ran his 2:08:33 was short. Jim Alder, Bob Moore and other world-class marathoners were in that race and none ran faster than their seasonal best on that day.
Jamal Browner has pulled an unofficial 500kg.
Amazing times, before most of the science behind how to prepare, before gels, with poor shoes.
Puts the influencers today to shame for pushing the "you need these gels, and these specific shoes" etc etc.. Just get out there and run.
Kiptum 🥀
Rest in Peace
Why don’t some courses count for records?
Some don’t count because their net downhill is too much I’m pretty sure
point to point courses (like boston) can be net downhill making them faster than any possible looped course
@@zackmitarotondaI see. Thanks
100th view nice
Internet historian vibes here.
Looks like 1800s are the fastest
I think Kiptum is murdered. We will never know the truth
sub 2 hours is impossible. fate will kill anyone who gets too close
kipchoge already did it.... and kiptum had the same physical fitness so he would have done it eventually
Quite disappointed that this video didn't include any mention of women's marathon records. I expected more from this channel. Very well done video and high quality. But disappointed as this perpetuates gendered biases towards sports.
It's a video on the men's world record. He would have to do a separate video entirely on the women's wr
That would need separate video, this is world record video not women’s world record. But if enough people ask I think he’ll make one
My main answer is that there's just not enough history to fill a 30-40+ minute window that these WR progression vids normally require for women's distance running. Women's distance running (5000m and up) didn't become legitimately competitive until the 70's, and for the marathon it took as late as the 80's until women like Grete Waitz and Joan Benoit basically inspired an entire generation of fast female marathon runners; something I covered on this channel already. For the steeplechase, it wasn't even until the 90's until women could do that event in general! Not to mention the point of these vids in particular is to cover the fastest times in *general* which ofc are performed by men.
WR Progressions aside though, my entire vid catalog is a pretty healthy/near-50/50 gender split, so... *shrug*
Agree. If there isn't another video available, a short mention would be nice.
Personally it think it could all be fixed by just having the title say "men's marathon records"
Great vid! But I do wish the women's marathon could get some coverage
One record I never want to see broken again. Run free Kelvin Kiptum 🫡
