That’s got to be awful thinking, “Almost there...just one more hour”
@@Dylonysus actually some people do. It can help more to say there's only 6 minutes left than 1 mile left.
@@alejandrotorres712 the majority don’t, you may have a target time, but the distance is finite. In every 100M or 50M race I’ve every run you break it down into 5 or 10 miles blocks, or if the course allows, you break it into loops.
@@Tpulaski I’ve always done sections like aid station to aid station. Except if I’m against a cutoff then it is current pace and time left.
@@daltonpulsipher exactly, especially if you’re planing nutrition and equipment, or have drop bags/crew stops.
I d never be able to run 100 km. First of all because running 100 km is very boring.
It never ceases to amaze me what the human body is capable of this man is a legend
or brain rather? actually both
It is very inspirational and amazing
Human body + human mind + doping
@@carlo.demichelis he didn’t use any form of drugs
Well tbh, do we call it the 'human body' or just his body... Bet 90%+ of humans cant do this
The fact that Walmsley ran only 11 seconds off the record with a gaping wound in his shoulder should solidify his name as one of, if not the greatest ultra-marathoners to ever live
He was amazing and will go down as one of the greatest. But the goat for ultra distance running is still Yiannis Kouros
@@m3phist0 for sure, Kuoros was truly on another level of endurance and greatness
@@m3phist0 Kilian and Kouros I'd say. The first in ultra trail races and the second in ultra ULTRA races
@@m3phist0 I think jornet and kouros are tied for 1st place
Greatest American maybe, but guys like Kouros, Journet, Kazami, Ritchie etc. are/were on another level
Can we acknowledge that he got this vid out before hoka even put the news on their Instagram
Love his vids
The atempt was live on youtube.
@@alexlegrand3191 Ik but u still gotta respect the grind
Hoka social media is a disaster tho but still nice
*their
Imagine his shock when he discovers cars
LMAO
This is such an underratted comment wtf
I’ve never laughed so hard at a comment😭😭
Stfu
@@rizzlerforthergyatt no u
If someone told me to run an 18:30 5k I would say, "wow that's fast." If someone said that I had to do it another 19(!) times, I couldn't even imagine it.
The half marathon world record is 13:38 per 5k and the marathon is 14:25 per 5k...speed that most couldn't even run for 1km, let alone 21 or 42 km, respectively.
@@jamisonr I was gonna call bullshit on that half marathon speed, but you right. That's fucking nuts!
I ran 10k in under an hour for and i was exhausted cant even imagine going so fast for so long
@@eirik.9384 Based on the current half marathon record of 57:32 it is correct. 57:32 is 2:44 mins per km pace which means a 13:38 5km time
@@bettstp Read my comment, I know.
Lol his avg mile pace is 1 second faster than my avg pace for a half marathon. And I win races with that pace. Fucking insane.
1h18m is a solid pace for a half marathon, but not world class. However, the longest distance that I even ran this pace was 6K, and I was the holder of the school record at my school 5 years ago 🤣🤣
Thats a very respectable 1/2 marathon at sub 1:20
At 54 years old im down to the 1:40's and no matter what i do i cant seem to get any quicker👍
Where are you winning races with a 1:18 1/2? My PR is 1:19:19 and that was good for a 31st place finish
Smaller local HMs are a bit slower. I've won one with a low 1:20, but then also lost big time with much faster times for larger races.
@@chrispajak540 just run a local half and you'll place bro. Ur doing big city HMs. I've never been out of top 3 with a sub 1:20 in smaller races
This was the most inspiring run I’ve seen since Kipchoge broke 2. Superhuman effort.
Lol I found you again...nice pig
I mean breaking 2 hours is another level. Speed kills not distance. Great achievement but not on the same level.
Kipchoge ran at about 4:36 per mile this was 5:56 per mile. Just imagine if kipchoge did this he would probably run 5hrs 30
T Boss the difference though is that Kipcoge had rabbits relaying each other every 5 km, while Walmsley I think only had one group from the very start. He ran all by himself for half the race
@@GdF420 haha the pace difference is over 80seconds slower per mile 😂😂
@@30953928 you dont realise that kipchoge had to run 58 kilometers less do you?
This level of endurance is beyond superhuman
everyone is built different i know i will never be able to do this but i can be a great sprinter if i wanted too just like i know i could never be a strong man no matter how hard i train my body won’t allow it i’m on the skinny side and my limbs are much too long it would only hinder me as a strong man
@@jasonwhite8441 What do you mean? If you arent disabled or having a pretty bad health problem that restricts you from doing athletics
Any healthy human can do this, its the brain
If your brain thinks you will achieve this and that you very much will
All you need is dedicating, hard work, discipline easy
@ThatOne Yes. People saying they can't do something athletic because of genes are excuse makers and probably won't do jack with that mentality.
@@swimmingrobot1219 Well, almost everyone with a strong mental and determination and lot and lot of hours dedicated to one thing can do better than 99% of the general population.
The problem is that you need to be waaaaaay better than that to be a top level athlete.
Imagine running for over 6 hours and miss the world record by 11 seconds. That is about 1/6 of a second per mile off of the world record pace.
A heartbreaking defeat but that just means he knows he can work harder and get even faster for the next attempt and if he doesn’t slice his shoulder open again he’s got the record
Oh boy, please go watch Where Dreams Go To Day on YT, you'll thank me later. The story of Garry Robins and his attempts at Barkleys Marathons is equally crazy
😩😩😩😩😩
Your math is wrong, 1/6 sec per mile would mean he missed it by 16.666 seconds
@@KILLTHEREDDITORit's 100 km tho
Trust me, the shoulder was the least of his problems in the last 20k.
His form will unavoidable detoriate because of it, wich will indeed bring/enforce bigger problems.
Im sure if he hadnt crashed and injured his shoulder he would have been atleast a few minutes quicker
That was a nasty cut on his shoulder
Im sure it played a significant part in his deterioration towards the end
@@barefootbeachrunner9498 few minutes is a lot, but I think those 11 sec is a safe bet
@@TheChessRunner
Yeah fair call maybe not 3 minutes but he certainly would have broken the record had he not crashed
He did cut the corner though (no pun intented) so he surely shaved a few hundreds off right there
11 seconds in a 100k is like .011 seconds in a 100m. Incredibly close!
Yeah you are right
Tf u mean
@@TheVincentVanGogh same ratio.
@@glennthompson1971 huh I mean the 11secs in 100k
this takes not into account that the 100k is run with a lower average pace. The ratios to compare are actually 11sec/6h09min like .005sec/10sec. So even closer!
"Massive discomfort" is not enough to describe how painful that was
I almost cried when he sat on that chair after finishing 😔
Uh, what chair?
This was absolutely incredible to watch live. And even though he didn't break the record, I certainly consider it the best 100k performance ever. He did it without a crowd, with an open wound for half the race, and without the tailwind that was present at the WR race in Lake Soroma. What an insane day, well done Jim!
Truly one of the greatest ultra runners ever
One of the most brass balled performances of his career. Watching that was insane
Fr I’m watching that finish before track races this season without a doubt
I consider myself a “decent runner” with a 5k PB of 18:11. When I ran that I was huffing and puffing like an absolute maniac by the end of it. I gave it 100% and was totally smashed.
This guy ran around that speed for over 6 hours! I can’t comprehend that.
I'm right there with you. I'm old now, but I used to run about 7:50 miles on a 3 mile or a 5K run. To imagine maintaining that for 100K is mind-bending. And then to put in all of that work to train and to endure to the end, only to come up 11 seconds short. He probably thought, "Oh well, maybe next time." I would have thought, "NOOO0000ooooo!!!"
I ran for a bus last week, nearly had a heart attack
Some fat people are not able to comprehend you since they can't run more than 1min at your pace.
The weight and other variants can make it possible.
Bro. Fkn tell me about it. Shit is crazy. I cant even run a single km at 3:41 pace and then theres this guy doing it for 100km. Calling this insane doesn’t even do it justice.
@@markosabdallah4796 I go running a couple times a week and I think running a single kilometer at 3:41 is just barely possible for me, but even 2 might be a stretch - anything more than that is definitely out of the question. It is really mind boggling to me.
It was indeed an epic run to behold. That final stretch was agonizing to watch as it was so close; and when he barely missed it I felt sick to my stomach for him. The effort required and to miss it by such a small margin. Unbelievable performance.
For comparison: Yesterday I had a 9h shift as a bike courier - I did 100k on a road bike...
Surely lots of traffic, traffic lights and stops to pick up, make a call or whatever...but also - road bike.
(The riding time alone was 5h 30min)
well done - rhodes island greece :-)
dead channel
Narcissistic Bastard
SAME HERE, DID 100KM as a Bike Courier and it KILLED ME in 10 hours 💀💀💀
Pretty cool job though, getting to ride a bike everywhere! Where do you do this?
can we just take a moment to appreciate his amazing form
Energy economy
He is beautiful to watch run.
If he had those red blood cells that he lost from his shoulder he would have made it
I wonder if that actually would make a difference. Not from the pain/discomfort viewpoint, but if those extra ~50ml he bled out would have helped him lol
@@utkn Considering how close he was to the record I assume it would've made enough of a difference. Probably not only the 50ml of extra blood but also from the changes in blood vessels when an injury occurs. I am also sure the running form would've been better without the injury.
must've really sucked to think about how you would've had the record without the injury
@@utkn ^for 11 seconds maybe
I really like & Admire this Jim Walmsley...
Not just great runner but also great person...
Thanks for sharing...
108 dislike , definitely came from those people who do not like running. Incredible achievement. respect for his endurance
Pretty sure the dislikes come from people who just dislike every video or dislike bots
383 dislike put people who cars at the watching moment was brake in the garage
I actually laughed when I heard the pace he would have to run,gg
Great job Jim. Inspirational
My 1 mile pb is 6:32 and i cant run 2 of those in a row at that pace
At 54 years old ive only just started ultra running and the longest ive done sofar is 60km and that was at 7min pace per km
I can even imagine the pain you would go through to run 100k in that time
This guy is not human
He's definately superhuman
@@barefootbeachrunner9498 yeah indeed. I feel sorry for him . He just failed for 11 seconds , that is nothing considering the distance.
@@abcd-yg2rx
Im sure that crash into the fence ,the injury and blood loss would have cost him a few minutes no doubt
@@abcd-yg2rx
Also irrespective of injury when you are at your peak performance shaving off even a few seconds of your race regardless of distance gets tougher the faster you go
Im An older plodder and my pb for marathon is 4:03:12
You would think i could find the 3 minutes to go sub 4 hours but ive already shaved off 40 minutes from my run over the last 6 years
Not fast at all but its all relative
Dang that was insane, I think he could've broken the record if he hadn't cut his shoulder, but HOLY CRAP his effort was real!
If only he didn't wear his cap
czcams.com/video/-tc2R4op-eM/video.html
Prob would have saved 10 seconds if he missed the fence. Lol!
Just imagine you are a deer in pre-historic times , and this guy is chasing you... you will not escape
Pre historic humans ran like 10km max and they were more muscular. This is just extreme.
@@noname-bt9ky.. Why not more than 10k?
I saw Jim out for a run while i was descending Humphrey’s Peak with a friend. I fanboyed out pretty hard, love that dude!
I can easily imagine that shoulder gash costing him 11 seconds or more. Man, what a warrior!
absolutely unreal performance. Jim is such a legend, and I know he'll be back to give this attempt another go.
You just gotta keep going no matter what! This man right here taught me something untaught-able! I got tears watching this man run with blood oozing from his shoulder.
Thank you for this upload to this legend. Always love your videos.
i ran the last half mile of my 4 mile run today at 6:30 pace and was dying. this dude running 100 kilometers under 6 lmaooooo
It’s crazy isn’t it?!? I’m a recreational runner, 5k PB is 21:06, and I watch these videos and think “I would basically have to sprint flat out to hit sub 6 miles” and this guy does it for 100k 🤯
I ran a 5:50 mile ONCE, and TBH, the wheels had all fallen off by the 3/4 mile mark. I can't understand how anyone can comfortably hold that pace..
And then you have the maniac marathon runners who average 5 kilometers under 15 minutes.
@@BriManeely fastest mile I ever ran was 5:30 and then I promptly collapsed and lay on the grass for like 10mins
Well obviously no one can do it untrained.
Superhuman! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Walmsley is a real versatile beast be it road or trail!
Spectacular!! amazing footage,amazing video,amazing inspiration!!
Amazing spirit Jim has. What a brilliant athlete. Keep inspiring everyone
Just mind blowing! A REAL CHAMP, BEAST, SOUL!
And wow, 5:56 per mile for 60 miles straight, that's incredible. My one mile record is 5:55, no way I could hold that for that long. That's incredible
this guy 5:56 per mile 60mi straight me (with 7:00 a mile) a can hold you beer
@@rlupara my record now is 5:30
Still not holding it for 60 miles straight
Still incredible
@@frxst1340 what is it now?
Hey, what grade are you in? I have about 5:20 mile in 8th grade
@@seovendor9118 🧢
Jedna z najbardziej inspirujacych walk jakie widzialem. Niesamowity gosc. Szacun!
Superhuman effort. Nothing but praise and admiration for Jim!!!!
Imagine his coach was like “run it again not fast enough”
"Do you hate yourself."
Yes
You are a great guy Jim, full of admiration, amazing run👏👏👏👏
I have had a chance to meet his father through my church. Such an amazing family. So cool to witness what the human body is capable of.
When I first saw the pace I had to triple check
So close! Truly inspiring Jim! I know that 11sec is going to light a fire in him to get it next time. Hoping a cheering crowd will be present for the future Hoka Carbon X3 World Record Challenge! Awesome job to all the runners yesterday! 👍💪👊
When I was a kickboxer I didn't run often but when I tried it once I did twelve miles and I was very sore the next couple days. I can't even imagine, the mental endurance that this man must of had to possess to do what he did, this feat absolutely blows my mind.
Legend! That is extremely painful and inspiring 🎉
"Jim Walmsley is officially an Ultra-Marathon Legend." Yes he is! What an awesome runner!
Jim is still the GOAT to me
What a performance! Walmsley is the GOAT of ultra running!!
Unbelievable. I have a hard time processing how any human can run such a long race so fast. Truly remarkable and inspiring!
1:36 how do they look so calm at a 6 minute mile pace; I try not to die running the mile sub 6:30
And I’m not even out of shape
they do lots of miles lots of lots of miles. mileage helps with ones tempo. Its counter intuitive but true. :)
People used to say: "Ultra-running is not about seconds."
Look at TdF 2020. And that's over 21 DAYS!!
thank god there's a video on this. Seen it on Strava and I was FLABBERGASTED
he is amazing. lookin forward to watching him at UTMB 2023
Considering he ran for over 2 hrs with a gash in his shoulder and still came that close to the record that’s insane
His form is incredible.Form is everything in running.
Thanks, what a phenomenal athlete!
One of the most inspirational things I've ever seen
I really thought he was gonna get it cuz he was still a whole minute ahead of wr with less than 10k to go.
I can't even run a kilometre in that pace 😂, 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 hats off to the inspirational runners like Mister Walmsley
What a great performance! He will definitely make it next time.
A run for the ages, absolutely incredible. Should be amazingly proud of his new AR!
2:50 The fact she didn't catch that angers me.
4:08 “Just 20 kilometers”
So inspiring! 👍
Simply Amazing!! He has a beautiful stride.
6:22 I'm often amazed how these athletes lack support at the finish line. I've seen elites sit on the hot asphalt to adjust their shoes. People just staring at them. Give this guy a hand!
Thats the one thing I notice and why he didn't have any pacers to help him in the final strech of the race?? If he had some help I think the record could be beaten! And the cut also didn't help either!
@@inaciotrinita Very true. I think the USATF only allows pacers to start with you. Or else they would cycle them in like our fake 26.2 WR in Vienna.
This is insane. Looking forward to his breaking the record in the near future!
Bro we all know you ain’t
This is DETERMINATION AT HIS BEST. And how he stop with that solid form and elegance make me feel humble watching this umbelievable performance. History of the sport probably more than kipchoge performance but anyway still comparable 1 of the greatest. No words
Absolutely mesmerizing...wow! 😮😮😮
I ran 5 km twice as slow as this dude and im still sore
Update: I just ran my first 20km today, my goal is to run a marathon some day
I ran 1 km today at half his speed.
I thought i was dying. ( was fat im 16 now)
@@thijsboss1246 update us!
@@thijsboss1246 30km yet ?
Updates after 2 years?
Everyone’s happy because he ran so well.
An hour after the race: u have tetnus because u slashed your shoulder on a rusty fence
a huge respect, never seen like this before, even a continous running for over 6 hours took a lot of hardworks! salute to you !
Very inspiring. Real legend🙏🔝💪🦁
I know humans are endurance creatures but stuff like this will never cease to amaze me.
His 50mile split takes about same time as my 50K personal best and many of my untrained friends can't even follow myself ☺️
He is from another world. Big motivation and inspiration for me.he is just legendary
Wow.... What a good video. 👏👏👏
Very sad moment that he missed the record having worked so hard.
Heartbreaking miss at a WR but that’s probably one the most incredible speed races I’ve ever seen. Up there with Eluid Kipchoge’s marathon
This literally gives me the chills
Jim Walmsley is a beast. Incredible running. 👏
Could you do a feature on the current world record holder Nao Kazami who set the record while working a full time job by running before and after his usual day job.
I've heard of 100m and 200m records being rejected due to excess wind but 100k.
@Da Ni Yeah I didnt realise the Wind was such a factor behind Nao,s record time thanx for the info. I guess Jim would prob go sub 6 hrs with those sorts of winds 👍
Me: gets a small cramp and stops my 5k
Jim Walmsley: Gets a cut open by a fence and does another 40k, completely unfazed
Absolutely incredible and inspirational...
Salute the human spirit .. this guy has gotten into my legend books .
I cannot even run one mile under 6 min. BTW, love his running style, seems so easy.
For some reason I thought about the time I was running a marathon and some pretty female staff worker near the end shouted at me, "Keep going, you're looking good." I replied, "You think I am looking good? You should see me with my hair combed."
It feels like if we are high or something at the end, I can relate lol
Simply incredible!!!!!
So incredible ! Such a legend
They should make this an Olympic event but unfortunately I don’t see it happening.
I would love to see the 100K in the Olympics. I've heard that the reason for not including this race is that the Olympic Committee likes the tradition of the marathon as the longest running event.
Can't imaging how much effort and training there goes into something like this. Just to run 100 KM no-stop is crazy by itself. I can barely close a 10K sub 40 mins and that is hard for me.
Sub 40 mins 10K is pretty fast though bro. Don’t underestimate yourself.
@@WegrennerX Thanks man, I know it's not generally"slow", required effort for me to get there. But compared to this elite monster, I'm far from that.
Massive respect! with that cut on the shoulder!
Is incredible what humans can achieve. Even if he couldn't beat the world record, he's a champion for me. I wish I can even pass 40 miles without stopping
Even with my bike i can't hold this pace !!!
I can’t imagine running that long with no music! I can’t run without headphones
Same, I'd be bored out of my mind
the only time I ever get bored while running is when I'm
1. alone
2. on a treadmill
I don't use headphones because it distracts me so much.
I don't get people who are bored when they run. Are you just not even trying to go fast or what?
This man inspires so much! Hope to one day hold the record for the 100 miler. Bleeding shoulder, lonely road, and a ticking clock. You cannot show anything but respect for his mental strength! "Who is gonna carry the boats?? → He is carrying the boats!"
Great effort Jim. Heartbreaking to be so close - next time you will blow it away.
