      Not really, Mo Farah has already ran 59:07 for a European record in the half marathon, so I'm sure he saw this race as a half marathon race on the track where he could run even faster/farther. 21,330m is just a bit farther than a 13.1 miles.

      @headlibrarian1996 Před 3 lety +11

      Andrew Devine That’s so wrong. Intermediate times should count, like they do in swimming. You should be able to set the 1500m WR during a mile, for example. In addition, in swimming you can set an individual WR on the opening leg of a relay. Probably not possible in a 4x1 because of the curve, but doing it in a 4x4 should be achievable.

    • @headlibrarian1996

      He ran a good race to be sure, but in virtually every clip except for the surge with 10min left, Mo was leading the way. He had to break the wind, and Abdi got the benefit of drafting.
      I would like to have seen more teamwork, at least until the last bit. If they had shared the leading duty more evenly, I think Mo could have run faster than he did, or Abdi may have broken down sooner.

      @Tebalo Kokozela yes, teamwork.you said that like it should be an automatic disqualification of my comment. This concept is not uncommon at all in endurance racing. It's much more common in cycling (yes. Even in competition between rivals), but certainly happens in running as well, and would almost certainly result in a faster time for both athletes.
      You'll notice that I did mention that this is a strategy for the early and middle sections of a race. Obviously they wouldn't and indeed shouldn't continue this strategy to the finish line.. You run together, help each other out, then in the later stages, the actual racing begins and whoever has the most left in the tank runs away with it.
      But in a 1 hour race, there's absolutely no benefit to pulling away from the second place runner until the later stages (unless that person is clearly not up to the pace you want to run). But there is huge benefit for both athletes if they share the windbreaking duties. Running alone is always harder than pacing with someone else.
      That said, it's perfectly within abdi's right to draft off of Mo for as long as he can keep up. But doing so, and then still losing the race, really softens the initial comment I replied to. Abdi had a great personal performance, but it was nothing compared to what Mo did.

  • @danielfarrugia3884
    @danielfarrugia3884 Před 3 lety +99

    This is the low hanging fruit of world records. Farah is a superb tactical racer and knows how to kick hard at the end of a race but I really think there are 3 or 4 men who could break this record tomorrow. Kipchoge, Bekele and Cheptagai to name a few. The one hour race is rarely staged and I believe that is why Farah had a go at this record.
    Before everyone comes at me with comments saying 'Let's see you do better', I definitely can't even come close to that. I just don't think Farah can truly hold a candle to any of the great athletes previously mentioned. It was a good run though.

      @danielfarrugia3884 Před 3 lety +34

      @@johngodwin1640 while I respect your opinion, I must disagree for the most part. Yes Farah has a great finish and might win against Kipchoge if it comes down to a sprint finish after a slow race but he is nowhere near as effective in the middle of race and is easily dropped if the pace is fast. The fact that he got knighted is irrelevant.

      This record is a little more stout than you think. The half marathon record was ran at 4:25 pace, this was ran at 4:31 pace. Seems like a big difference but running on a track for an hour is much different, in spikes at that. But yes I agree the three you name are CURRENTLY better than Farah

      He’s definitely a championship racer type of guy. Winning medals is more important to some than going after world records of course, plus going after a world record in your prime could possibly have longevity consequences in the sport... I would rather have a world record than an Olympic gold personally but to each their own. Very few can do both, even El Guerrouj had trouble getting a gold in his own world record event lol. And sponsors such as Nike probably require or highly push winning medals and placing top 3-5 in the world to keep or increase sponsorship. Many deciding factors to consider.

    Honestly not surprised at all. Farah is a monster on the track and he belongs in the sport. I’m glad he came back to where he started because I feel he’s a far better track runner than road runner just based on his racing style.

    Mo Farah has already ran 59:07 for a European record in the half marathon, so I'm sure he saw this race as a half marathon race on the track where he could run faster/farther. 21,330m at 13.25 miles is just a bit farther than 13.1 miles half marathon.
