      ​@@garettclement6671 The "or" joke normally works like this: "Would you like a burger or pizza?" "Yes" (haha, "yes" means that they want _at least one_, but didn't tell you which). So here we have "haha, he's at least one of sprinter/marathoner but isn't telling you which." That doesn't really work. So I'm not sure if it's flying over heads so much as under them :)
      It's more like: "Are you a sprinter *and* marathoner?" "Yes." But making it logically correct doesn't make it a great joke.

      To be honest though, the difference between running a 3:43 mile to a 4:34.... and then the same time difference in the inverse ... 4:34 compared to 5:23 or whatever is not equal. The closer you get to going under 4, and then for each second you get under 4 ... the difficulty multiplies by exponential numbers. 3:59 is a different universe than 4:30, even though on the inverse most 5 minute milers could pretty easily train to run a 4:30. My main point is, time differences are not equal. 30 seconds isnt just 30 seconds when it comes down to these paces. Its why you have any number of HS athletes that can run a 4 minute mile but only 3 ppl in history who have run sub 3:46. Its less than 15 seconds, but in those 15 seconds seperates the greatest runners to ever live from a mildly talented high school xc runner.

    The reason he doesn’t seem tired at the end is because what we tend to recognize as “tired looking” after a race is the look someone has when they enter extreme oxygen debt which is common in shorter races like a 400m, 800m, or mile.
    An elite marathoner will rarely, if ever, (other than at the end of a race for a kick) enter any level of oxygen debt. The burden of running a marathon is on the muscles not the lungs.
    I know its probably unbelievable to think that running 4:34 mile pace for 26.2 miles wouldn’t send someone into massive oxygen debt but its the truth. We’re not talking about everyday people, we’re talking about people who’s body’s have been trained to utilize oxygen at otherworldly levels

    My dad always really loved running. He didn't start running until his mid-40s, and by that point he wasn't going to be able to get in the shape a pro runner would be able to, but he got good enough to do 5ks, then 8ks, then even a half marathon. I remember asking him a few different times if he would consider running a marathon, and to be honest I can't really remember his answer, which saddens me, but I do know he had a great respect for runners, especially ones who can do marathons. I've never really shared his love of running, same with camping and the great outdoors in general. He was unfortunately father to 3 very introverted, non-active children, but he loved us all the same, even if we didn't share the same passions. I did do a couple 5ks with him during the brief time I was in college, before I got too depressed to go to class because I was homesick while at my dorm and dormsick when at home. Things were rough. But I did those 5ks with him, with barely any training, because procrastinating is the only way I know how to function, and I had a good time. I didn't stop, hell I didn't even think about it. I kept going, even if I was just walking. If I stopped to catch my breath I made sure I wasn't stopping for good. My dad finished both of them before me, and came back to walk me to the finish line both times, he was so happy to have that with me. I wish I had done more of it with him. This video helped me see why running meant so much to my dad. I wasn't just learning about this story, I was learning why I should care, it meant something to me to see that record broken, even though I'd never cared before, because I had never cared to grasp the scope or intensity of it, I had no reason to. If I could send him this video I would, but I found it 3 months too late. I know he would have appreciated someone talking so passionately about running passionately enough that its able to inspire me, even though all his effort to do the same failed. I know this is an overly serious comment for this video, but watching it the first time last night, it just struck a chord. It was exactly what I needed to see in exactly that moment, and it was enough to finally get me to properly cry over my dad for the first time since he died. I know that's silly and I'm painting a target on my back admitting that on the internet, but I feel it's worth saying here, so you know what an impact something you've made has had on someone else, even if you didn't intend it to affect someone like this. Your channel in general has helped in the goalsetting I've been working on in the wake of his death. I've especially wanted to learn skateboarding and at least one instrument, and to be able to make a piece of art, in whatever medium, that I feel proud to show to the world, no matter the feedback. It's hard to think about the future right after someone dies, but I know I have my whole life ahead of me, and you're never too old to learn something new.
