- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- In 2012 our very own Andy Baddeley set the parkrun World Record with a time of 13 minutes and 48 seconds. 10 years on that record still stands and rightly so as it is incredibly quick!
So we thought if we teamed up, could we beat the time as a relay? Welcome to The Running Channel’s parkrun World Record relay attempt!
↓↓ Will we beat Andy’s time? Who would you want in your relay team? Let us know in the comments! ↓↓

Will we beat Andy’s time? Who would you want in your relay team?
Michael Johnson, Jeremy Wariner, Lashawn Merit, Kirani James, Wayde Van Niekerk, Steven Gardiner. I reckon their 2x400s might just about offset my 200m anchor leg for the glory!
Perfect!!
"How incredible you once were." Savage. Ha!😅
We can all look at Marathon runners on the TV and think, maybe I could run that fast, but then the camera cuts to the very enthusiastic person trying to keep up on the path beside the racers, and you realise, just how quick they are going.
I recently did a race, that involved a pretty nasty couple of hills (the Man 'o' War run here in Dublin) and I did a sprint finish, which my watch told me was a pace of 2-33 for the last 150 odd meters. Andy ran just 13 seconds slower, for 5000 meters, mind blowing stuff.
Not to detract from Andy's achievements, but having done timekeeper at my local parkrun a couple of times, I see the pride in people's faces when they PB, that PB may be 25, 30 or 40 odd mins, but all were hard earned and worthy of pride.
So folks, whatever your parkrun PB is, give yourselves a pat on the back, oh and Andy and the crew, take a bow, seriously, that was super human running from all of you.
Holy Hell! This video definitely puts Andy's time into perspective.
13:48 is my half marathon mile time, btw. That man was FLYING!
It really does! 😂 We've come to the conclusion that Andy isn't human 😂
It's my PB for the mile full stop. (aware that probably says more about me than him)
This is so fun to watch, I love the split screen editing! The thought of Andy running at that speed for five entire k blows my mind 🤯
It is truly an incredible achievement by Andy all those years ago. I would like to say congratulations to Mo as well for being. 2 seconds off Andy on his first lap. Sensational effort
Great video!! 👏🏻 I finished 1st in the Killin 5k in Scotland on Saturday and achieved my first sub 20 mins 5k finishing at 19:10! Was a very good day 😊🏃🏻♂️
Amazing Gary! Well done that’s so impressive 🎉🎉 How did you celebrate?
@@runningchannel thank you! 🙌🏻Celebrated with a nice meal and few drinks with my family afterwords, well earned 😊
@@garygoldie9678 congratulations on such a milestone! Wow, sub 20 mins is awesome!
@@garygoldie9678 That is a Major achievement!!! That is my biggest running goal (even though I recognize I probably won’t get there). I’ve done a little over 22:30 a couple of times (not Park Run) but road/trail.
@@toadlguy thank you! That is a very good time still aswell but I believe that if you put your mind to it anything is achievable! Good luck and hopefully one day you’ll reach the goal 😊🤞🏻
I've done 3 Parkruns now and really enjoying them. Our route doubles back so I (briefly) get to see the leaders coming towards me. They almost look like they're sprinting. To think that this lot would still be running for 4 minutes after Andy finished his world record run is mind blowing. These very fast runners would be over a km behind!
That was lovely . After 10 days out of any training due to just feeling soooo tired in life I did a "post night shift" (NHS paramedic) run today, just 2 miles, but possibly the happiest 2 miles ever.
Keep inspiring us. Thanks
So glad you had a good run today! 😁
You got this!! Keep going!
Given your profession, you are also an inspiration!
Great stuff! It’s always amazing seeing things like this to put WR’s in perspective 😅
New🇦🇺 Parkrun record of 13:53 in Launceston, Tasmania this weekend just gone. Global record seriously under threat
We saw! Andy has a challenger! 👀
You are all Legends! Andy - hats off to you, both for the parkrun record, and your continued great times!
The time is mind-blowing, Andy. Absolute machine. Having that said, fantastic effort TRC!!
Andy that park run time is still unbelievable! I know athletes get older and move on, but I hope you still appreciate just how fast you were and all that you accomplished! Just curious what's your current Parkrun time?
This was sooo wonderful, fun, and inspiring. When's the 2nd attempt? B/c obviously we still have a goal to crush... 😂🥰🤗
OMG Andy what a machine. Congrats to the whole team for this almost victory. Love how you can put theses challenges in perspective for us.
And love the way you present with two screens. It’s nice to see more than one angle at a time. Keep doing what you do, just as is. It’s fantastic 🥰
Thanks Nathalie! Really glad you enjoyed it 😁 Do you prefer the double screen?
Fantastic effort from you all. Well done👏👍
Great effort team, Andy you are an inspiration!
Wow, Andy! You were a beast! This video was awesome. Thank you.
This was so fun to watch and they were so close! I think with practice handing off the baton they could shave off that 20 seconds! Nice job everyone!
unreal effort, well done!
Great effort guys! Another fantastic episode!
Great idea, great effort from all of you 👏👏
Andys an absolute robot . Love the channel guys great effort👍😁
Good timing of this video with the Aussie guys coming within 10 seconds of that record over the weekend. Amazing how this puts it into perspective of how fast world records are. Well done team!
Great effort team 💪🏻
Wow,
Andy that was an amazing feat, I struggle to get 8 minute miles🤣
I can't imagine be that fast!
Great video , great effort by all, I really did think you had it!
Andy at his peak was a phenomenal runner.
Well done everyone! Great effort
Good video to understand some things about these wr and how difficult can be reach them .
Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷. A runner nation.
I loved this! I stopped breathing for a while 🤣 thinking I am helping you. It is awesome seeing you all together doing this 😍
Thanks Silvia! So glad you enjoyed it 😁 It was a really tough challenge!
Well done team! This looked like so much fun!
Good effort by literally everyone on the team.
This was exciting to watch!!
Well done team that was a great effort!
Great video. You could do video showcasing each individual runners best 5k time currently
I love relays. It brings out the best performance in everyone.
Yeah well someone did 13:53 at Launceston Tasmania last Saturday…. The course is 70 gravel road…. Someone ran with him for like 3km…. On a tarmac ParkRun he will break the world record.
Well done trying to beat that crazy time.
What a great video. You have a great team there. Although if Rick was there you may have done it. 😂 I did my own 5k race today no where near Andy’s Time. But Watching you guys race around that track. I’m looking forward to track training tomorrow. So thanks for the inspiration
Great team work
Great video, great challenge. Loved it. Keep an eye on James Hansen, who ran 13:53 at Launceston parkrun in Tasmania on Saturday. He missed his flights to Adelaide for the Aussie XC Champs, so with nothing better to do on a Saturday morning, rocked up to parkrun and came within 5 seconds of Andy's record. You blokes should have a chat with him.
Andy , what is your park run time now ? You were a machine .. loved this 😊
Andy, you are definitely a machine!
Absolutely blown away by that! It really puts it into perspective.
Andy Badderly you legend!🎉🎉.
The others should be bowing to your awesomeness rather than teasing 😜😜. But then….😊🤣
Well done all of you to get that close
Cool! Look like you have a lots of fun and you all are doing great!
…but the question is… How many people do we need to make one Andy? :)
Inspiring and fun to watch!
How wonderful was that!! 💪❤️ fantastic team effort & putting together such a great video 👌
Also.... 13:48 🤯
Thanks Andrew! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Someone in Australia missed the record by just 5 seconds on Saturday. Good timing with the vid!
We saw that! Very very impressive!
But not good enough 😉
The chap who ran in lane 2 could have shaved a second off by running in lane one! 😄 It really is a remarkable record.
Ahahhahhaa
Great effort 😀
Great effort
Sarah always gives Andy good banter
bring back old memories 4x400m 22year ago by looking at the batton passing..luckily never fail on receive for last sprinter
This looks really fun
awesome. read this morning the Australian record was broken on the weekend. a time of 13:53 Launceston Parkrun
Before I watched this video I was not aware of the park run record.
The idea that Andy did this without supershoes on grass kind of bends reality in many regards. These guys all sprinted 200-400 meters with vaporflys on. He found another dimension to power through in his park run. The idea that he traversed non flat terrain at that speed is absolutely super human.
The monologue about the park run is true. I know he held medals and records on the track and that's incredible in and of itself. But track conditions are intrinsically perfect in competition. There's just so much stuff to blame in a park run. Wind elevation mud grass... My mind can accept beating an animal like a cheetah on the track in a foot race easier than I can accept Andy's speed in a park run.
The biggest smile I've had watching a video by the running channel.
Wonderful video! 400m segments @ 2:48 pace would be out of the question for me, but I think I could pitch in 2 or 3 200m sprints close to that pace. I regularly tack on 6x200m hill repeats @ 3:20 pace (about 40 seconds) at the end of my easy runs, so on a flat track with more rest in between, 33-34s 200m would be within reach.
It started so promisingly. 😂 Great effort team. 👏
Sweet Christmas, 13:48 is just mind boggling!
And then when you realise world record 5000m time on track is over 1 minute quicker...
beautiful work. my parkrun PB also ends in 48... it is 30:48!!!
The fact that he was only 11 seconds behind my first 2 mile pr (13:37) in a 5k is absolutely Vin Dieseling! With not so good shoes, on grass, no pacer, and what seems like not the best diet he could have had at that time, it seems super complex, even though it's simple in the grand scheme of things, it seems soooo hard to understand, HOW he did it!
My relay idea is you have a team of five, you take turns of 200m each, so each runner will run 200m x 5 turns in total, 1km total each, yeah? Should be good. I've just had a crazy idea for batons - you cover the baton in velcro, wear one velcro glove. As the runner gets close to the handover, they use their non-velcro hand to rip it off. Therefore - how easy is that to then stick the baton into the next runner's velcro gloved hand? There's no way it's going to drop or go wrong. Like all ideas - maybe someone has tried it.
Once Andy was great, now he is a legend. Before or after his transition, he is a champ either way.
That was a great attempt! The Australian record was broken the other week and he ran 13:53. He is eyeing off Andy's World Record.
I expected Johnny to say at the end "You didn't beat it, get on a start line and do it again" :D
How much normal runners would it take to run under 2 hour marathon.
Now that would be a challenge! 😂🥵 Thanks for the great suggestion!
Think there needs to be a winter attempt as well!
Hahaha we’ll see what we can do!
Brilliant attempt, brilliant video, would be good to see how many park runs someone on the team could visit each week and try to break that specific park runs fastest time ?
Great suggestion Matthew! We’ll see what we can do 😁 what’s your favourite parkrun?
@@runningchannel I only do one near me in Brighouse but just from watching your videos I think Woolacombe dunes has to be a bucket list park run
Ha ha - All the park runs near me are on Sat. Morning.
Andy is an inspiration. Age has nothing to do with it.
nice team effort 🥵👍😍
Good try guy's you all did well 👍👍
You guys are incredible!!! I mean, Andy is still superhuman, but all of you guys are amazing. That time is just over 4 minute miles for a 5K. Unbelievable 👍👍👍
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed the video ☺️ Do you go to a local parkrun?
@@runningchannel Getting ready to. Signed up - but haven’t gone yet. But I have lots of great trails near my home ☺️. You guys are an incredible inspiration!!! I have something going on this Saturday, but maybe the 10th.
13:48 is 4:26 per mile. Calculated using 5km=3.11 miles.
Very impressive relay to show the awesome time of 13:48 5k is
Absolute testament to what a beast Andy was in his hay day
I gotta go to the UK and try to beat this. I’m closing in on low 14s and I’d love to give it a go one day.
Go for it Wesley! 💪
Andy you may remember Rory Smith running 6 x 400m with Dave Jeff's group in about 58-59secs each.. When he was 14!!
Could you make a video about some training plans for different lengths of running?
What kind of distance would you be interested in Matilda? 😊
@@runningchannel Could you do Andy’s training program for a 5km pb? Or also a traning plan for 1500, or 3 km. And also maybe you should make a video of runners challenged to do a trialathon? That would be awesome! 😀
love it! put some respec on andys name lol
"You got this, you got this, I don't got this, I don't got this" is so relatable
this came just as the Australian parkrun record got broken at 13.53 only 5 seconds off your record.
Love from India
13.48 in a park run WTH?! Here I am all content, being able to hit 5k just under 35 minutes (been running for only 3 months though, but still). I have a long way to go!!!
Keep hitting those PBs! ❤️
Of my God!😮
You should do the same thing but with only olympians
Is so hard! I will continue with my slow pace In long runs
That’s fair enough! 😅
There’s an Aussie coming for your record Andy!!!
We've seen 😳😳😳
Imagine group of people helping you and losing to your own wr while still on your prime
Great video but I’m thinking did Andy hold back so you didn’t break his record🤔 😂
"his a glitch "😂😂😂 totally this video is how I feel about this dude that holds the record of park run, like when I joined I thought a sub 19 could not be possible little did I know dude ran sub 17 which holds the fastest time right now. like its beyond my imagination right now but i can see it happen.
Which parkrun do you go to Timothy?
@@runningchannelits in South Africa Cape Town. Mitchell's Plain Park Run. Where the course record is 16:15
Shame on Andy for being so out of shape nowadays 😂 but well done to the rest of the team 💪🏃
Amazing! Definitely think you would’ve done it if the handovers were sharper 😅 well done all!
A guy in Tasmania got within 5 secs on the weekend
Another fun exciting challenge!! Amazing job Andy, then and now! And to all the runners who gave it their all! But wait, there was no vomit, are you SURE you couldn't push harder? 😆
Hahaha sorry Kelly, we'll try harder next time 😂
Tag me in next time!
Yeah, that was always going to be a tough ask. Nice try, though.
Hi everyone. My name's Eloid Kipchoge....
Jakob Ingebrigtsen
You guys could probably do it if you had some better runners pretty easily.
I feel like the baton was a waste of effort.
Haha should we try again without the baton?
Yep. No baton. Just go for it
It’s was a tremendous group effort alas the baton exchanges is where I think you lost 20+ seconds or the +- splits seem to indicate great effort even so
@@runningchannel no, you have to or there is no transfer of distance and time (speed). Slapping someones back or something doesn't work because you actually have to pass the displacement of the movement the proper way to be official.
