- Description...fascinating look at elite runners filmed from the lead vehicle...no commentary just the sound of the crowd and runners.
One by one the lead pack reduces...eventual winner Seiko is a study in form and relaxation..please note this is not the full race ( I don't have full coverage of the race ) this is just an hour's viewing of some genuine past marathon greats' so enjoy it for what it is..
I love how it's basically raw footage with the roar of the crowd the whole way -- no commercials, no commentating either.
Wonderful throwback to another running era. No paid pacemakers, the wheelchair racers competed largely in conventional wheelchairs sans helmets. They sat upright and one could see their faces! The racers mainly took fluids from the race organizers, no "electrolyte solutions made in a lab." The absence of commentary was a blessing as well as the lack of human-interest stories about five-hour marathoners running for charity. Instead, we get close ups of the lead pack, try to read their body language. When the inevitable break occurs, the coverage hasn't gone to commercial so we can watch Seko accelerate, Smith and Jones try to respond but then he goes at them again and they crack. Other than too many backward glances on the far side of Heartbreak he is a study in running perfection. The tape ends just short of the finish????? But we know there is no way he can lose. Breaking the tape is an anti-climax.
What I love about this video is that it feels like you're in the lead pack: the subtle dynamics of actually running with a group come through.
With regard to the visual aesthetics and camera angles this is the greatest marathon race ever filmed. Most races you feel like a spectator, with the way this is filmed you almost feel like you are running with them or actually there. This is incredible!

Love this video with Seko and this deep field of talent and gifted runners. I ran the 1981 Boston Marathon against Seko when he won in 2:09:26 and broke the record. He defeated Rodgers, Virgin, Heffner, Tabb, Fleming, Shorter, and Hodge to name several. It was the fastest marathon ever run in the World @ the time for the top 100 finishers. I came in 53rd place in my first Marathon out of 7,000 runners in 2:18:16 and was sponsored by New Balance racing team straight out of College. I was a 10,000 meter man along with the 5,000 meters and the marathon was brutal physically. I'd rather race the 5k and 10k any time over the 26.20 miles. My times were 14:01.84 and 29:33.60 respectively in collegiate races and was a Pro for four years.
Hey Jeffrey! Not sure if you remember me but back in 2016 I reached out to you as I was dealing with an Achilles injury right after finishing my high school track season. Just wanted to update you that I'm now a 2:18 marathoner looking to qualify for the Olympic trials this fall. I also placed 18th in the NYC marathon last year. Time flies! Hope all is well.
Seko really dropped the hammer at mile 20. He was on such fine form that year. Absolutely machine like precision through the Newton hills.
This is great for treadmill running. Cheers.
Great stuff. I actually remember watching this live, and had it on VHS for the longest time. What a great group of runners. I was sort of pulling for Steve Jones, my favorite runner of the time, or John Tracy, but Seko did a great job. Ikangaa would go on to set a course record at the NYC Marathon, and Steve Jones did the same at the Chicago Marathon. And of course Tracy won the Silver Medal at the Olympics. De Castella had won Boston in a course record time the prior year.
Seiko learned how to run the hills of Boston and won the 1981 and 1987 races after Bill Rodgers gave him a lesson on how to run heartbreak hill in 1979
This is beautiful.
Man, Seko killed it when he hit the top of Heartbreak!
We didn't see the finish
テレ東の中継は曇天でヘリが飛ばせずひどい映像でしたが、こちらは中盤以降の先頭集団の様子が分かる素晴らしい映像ですね。
That is some great footage indeed.
瀬古さんは、やはりすごい。当時2時間4分台を目指した練習をしていた。今の選手は、科学的理論や理屈優先かぁ。まずは、量と距離、そして、2時間フラットを目指す練習を取り入れていかないと・・・。本当に中村監督とのコンビすごいです。
科学的理論や理屈が無ければ2時間フラットは難しいような...。笑
しかしこの時代のマラソンランナーの練習量は凄まじかったようですね。1日80km走ることもあったとか...。
当時の瀬古はマラソンのラスト100mを12秒で走れると言われていましたよね。
マラソンの最後の100mを12秒？？鬼か？( º_º )
このようなレース展開だったのですね。当時このレースは地上波放送があったのですが、衛星放送の不具合で日本では静止画面しか流れていなかったのですよね。実況も映像が見えずレース状況さえ伝えることもできずでした。最後の最後に瀬古が独走している姿が映され、安堵したことを思い出しました。
omg boston in the 80s omg wow thats incredible, so ancient and scary wow
この後、急速に衰えた瀬古、最後の輝き。
中山竹通も出たかったらしい。
この瀬古の切り替えにこれだけの強豪が遅れるんだから勝負できたかはわからない。
記録とは別問題です。
recognise steve jones from wales he was running 2.08 when it was a freaky time for the era
瀬古さん、間違いなく世界トップクラスのランナーでした。
スピードの切り替えができるランナーでないとワールドクラスのマラソンでは勝てません。
当時は世界最強の評価もらってます
that's my dad :)
You would be rightly proud of his running achievements...I always remember him as one of those gutsy runners who did it from the front....apologies for not getting the spelling right :-)
Jordan Hellebuyck sorry
Your dad won Biwako-lake marathon in 1990 !
@@takhey523 Wasn't Eddy Hellebuyck banned for using EPO a bunch of years ago? As a masters runner?
No, he wasn't. Maybe…
かっこよ
In this top group, were found Seko, Takeda, Taniguchi, Rob de Castella, D.Gordon, J.Ikanga, J.Smith, S.Jones, J.Tracy, E.Herubyuick, etc. In second one, B.Rodgers was supposed to follow.
This group also had Bruce Bickford world ranked # 1 10 k 1984.
I RAN 1988 BOSTON MARATHON IN 2:58:16.
Congratulations. Breaking three hours is a great accomplishment.

Jumma Ikanga on all races run
役者がそろいすぎて、さすがのイカンガーも飛ばせなかったようですね。キャステラはスタート直後の転倒が響いたか、勝負どころを前に遅れてしまいました。
Yo corri ese marathon. y no puedo creer que nunca se miro cuando cruzo la linea.
También has de haber echo arriba de 3 hora me imagino
強豪選手に目が行きがちですが、1990年びわ湖優勝のエディ・ヘルブイク、ボストンと提携している青梅マラソンで上位に入ったゴードン、リサ・マーティンの元旦那のケン・マーティン等々しぶ～い顔ぶれも先頭集団に見られますね。（^^；）
モスクワのボイコットが惜しまれます。
ホントにそう思います
侍だね、これは
モスクワオリンピックのボイコットが惜しまれます。
Lo único rescatable fue el vidio saludos 🇲🇽
Does anyone know what problems or issues De Castella was facing at that time that caused a fall-off from his 2:07 form of 1986?
@Va Sr Correct. A year or two after this Boston Marathon, they gave the elite runners a “head start” from the slower runners. One of the commentators said it was the result of DeCastella being tripped up by a starter’s rope. The first 30 seconds are enough.

They were honest runners, hence, couldn't keep top form for long time. In the 80's elite runners trained 3 sessions every day, to make those incredible times. In middle 90's Kenyans started to do same performances with just 2 sessions, mysteriously. Well, ... not mysteriously indeed. It is public what day usually said.and what western runners training, in Kenya, said too.
Doesn't take much. If you haven't had a spot on preparation, maybe interruptions due to injury, illness along the way, you're in trouble.
It's called 'ageing'. De Castella peaked in 1986, it was his last big hurrah, although he remained a pretty damn good runner for some time (eg 7th in Seoul 1988) he was past his best.
@@theenglishalpinist5031 It's possible, although for a distance runner to be past his best at only 30 I am inclined to look elsewhere first for reasons for his decline.
i cant believe they had cops in the 80s wow civilization was so advanced back then
Just a few. The ones who escaped the "Terminator"
HILLARIOUS...NO TME...WHOOO IS HEE????
Why didn't you show him crossing the finish line?
That was all the footage I had....hope you enjoyed what I did show...you,re welcome
@@billfox7616 Thank you for taking the time to upload this gem.

Si vas a seguir poniendo videos inconclusos. Mejor no pongas nada!
Toshihiko SEKO, the best runner, ever !

瀬古イズムは全くありませんね。
まあ、時代ですかね。
瀬古さんイズムを伝えるのはかなり難しいと思います
In 80s there were twenty japanese marathoners had times better then 2:10
sänd på fox
何で瀬古さんだけ日本代表のユニフォームなんやろ。エスビーでもよかったのでは。
ばかじゃの、陸連が金出しとるけんよ、谷口自己負担じゃけん、S Bよ。
この当時は、海外マラソンは、代表ユニフォームが主流でした
ah yes.......before the africans arrived
