Just How Fast Is World Record 5k Pace? 

How long do you reckon you could hold 5k pace for? What distance should the team try next?

“Run like Mo until the hundred metres and then ACTUALLY do a sprint finish.” Sarah is savage.

this is what i love about TRC. everyone is at different paces yet you all try and do the chalanges and spur each other on which is why i watch all your videos :)

I love how this channel celebrates runners of all levels. Thank you.

Any challenge that involves Anna Is worth watching and still, the best chemistry is between Anna "and" Rick hope to see more videos with those two.

i think i got a stitch watching from my desk

I love seeing the team together! The camaraderie (and joking) is heartwarming.

Jess is such a good addition to TRC

I always like these videos were the team puts the effort together. Also Mo's excuses 😂😂 Also, the thumbnail is so vibrant 🎉 my fave moment was Rick and Sarah lil squat moment ❤❤❤

I’m so glad to see Anna in videos again, maybe she was on holiday or something but I missed her while she was gone! ❤❤❤

When I grow up I want to be as fast as Jess 😮⚡️

My 1km PB is 2:50. I set that back in my 20s (I'm almost 40 now). Strange to think that at my peak, I would not even be able to keep up with the women's 5k World Record pace for a kilometre!

Anna's determined face is the best bit about this video!

I appreciate you guys doing this kinda thing about running. I'm into an early stage of my life running/jogging at 41 years old. I still have a lot to learn doing it on my own without any coaching or assistance. Just your channel here on RU-vid and a little bit of research. Keep up the good work 🤘

The light balance on this video was weird, FYI.

Would be interesting to see you try 100k or 100 mile world record pace, or 24 hour world record pace and see if you can hold that for a kilometre (or maybe a few).

Thank you for this, the perspective you've put on this, shows the immense performance of the elites! And how far away normal people are from that!

So cool to see you having so much fun. One can see Anna's experience. Great running.

Mo's excuses are brilliant! Great effort, and amazed no one lost their breakfast

Great episode! Really fun and motivating. I really don't think I could hold that 5k pace for very long. Probably somewhere between 100-200 meters. That's a crazy fast pace. As far as speed callenges go, I was going to say world record 10k pace but just saw that you guys already did that one. Different world record ultra marathon paces would be interesting. Like double marathon pace, if you haven't already done that.

James is absolutely adorable! Everyone did such a great job 👏🏾

LOVE The Group Videos!!! You guys are a brilliant bunch of people! 🎉❤🎉

always fun watching Jess. she’s a great addition to the team. Need to ask tho does Andy really going to do the full marathon soon?

Loved this video. Group challenges like these are definitely my favourites!

Got to love the inclusivity of all runners on TRC 👏👏 great challenge, great entertainment

To be fair you should let them get to speed since it's a 5k split. Give them 40-60 yards to get to speed. That push sprint just kills your endurance right away. I do this type of training for speed.

Great video 😃. Any chance you could do some more canicross ones? 🐶. Maybe an update on how Anna is getting on with Ralph, or Andy taking on some speedy canicross runners and their dogs, or even the team trying it out themselves!

What a fun video. Those world records are amazingly quick.

Damn, you guys were flying down the track, awesome effort! I wouldn't be even able to run that fast no matter the distance 😅

I hope we get to see more sprint challenges like this from the whole team of presenters

Fantastic!!! You were all awesome. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

The music/overall audio mix on this video was 🔥🔥

The inspiration I need for my interval session tomorrow. Although I’m nowhere near that quick!!

Great jobs! You are all faster than me. Almost makes me want to try an all out 400m. I don’t think I can run sub 2 minutes.

Love the team challenges!

I’m always excited to see Anna!

One of my favourite of recent vids and a lot more relatable for sure. Great banter 😂 only way to improve on a great team? Someone well over 40! Please 😊🥺😊😊😊😊

New challenge idea: have the team race eachother in a 5k but everyone starts off at a different point of the course depending on their speed. So since Andy is the fastest he begins at the beginning and has to run a full 5k, someone who's a bit slower would start further up, someone whose current fitness is half the speed of Andy starts 2500m up the course etc. Would make for a thrilling finish

These World Record Pace Videos are always fun to watch.

I love these types of videos of yours ❤

So good, you guys are great!!!

I think they should have a rolling start... as the WR average lap time included 12 flying laps... ;)

I know this is "The Running Channel", but you could do the same concept with a mini triathlon, or even other fitness disciplines you don't normally train like swimming, biking, speed walking, etc.

Would a 400m straight track make it a 5k shuttle run? That just sounds brutal

That was fun to watch! Did you shoot this video on the same day you did the pizza mile?

I run 2.4, 5 and 10K distances only. Can only do sub 60 for 400m simply because i have been doing SITs (75 metres) and recently for the past 4 months hill sprints. I also do strength training for the legs using resistance bands. Upper body would be bicep curls/push ups. The neuromuscular stimuli from shorter intervals are also good, i prefer very much 200m and 400m intervals. About to start some plyometrics, it's supposed to improve RE as well, other than impsorve explosive power. Age 52 here.

the banter between Sarah and Mo is 🎉gold

how lucky you are to have a track in your city. I live in Turin and they're just closing ours for a year and a half for renovations :(

Love this video! I love running but there is no way I could hold a 60.4 second 400m 😂

I love watching this video I can’t wait to try this on my local track 😍

Eliud Kipchoge's marathon pace is friggin insane, so it won't be easy.

You should run the allotted time and see how far around you get

It just occurred to me that the records were set with spikes and you guys are not wearing any. I think you all should come back with spikes and do a proper attempt. 😂 …and no watches allowed!

With some painkillers, so I could ignore my shin pain, I might be able to do 100m at that pace (edit: also, not sure how you warmed up, but some faster strides before this kind of challenge probably would help)

Great vid as usual. But why is the saturation is so low? Feels grey.

Love to watch this race🥰

If Sarah really wants to break 20 in the 5k I think she should do a round of training focusing on top end speed.

Something is off with the colours in this video. Still fun to watch tho

Yeh, I remember the days of high school. Just to break 60 seconds in a quarter mile was a bear. At the 3/4 mark or 330 yards, was when “The Bear Jumped on Your Back” Lactic acid swoops down through your body from head to toe and after that it is just a matter of survival. I really miss those days. Ah, to be young again! Later on in college, the 800 meter race was even worse. You had to deal with “The Bear” for the last 200-300 meters. I do not know how I survived; except for being young!

Amazing motivation

That put a smile on my face.

Come on Rick, join in! Not like you've had surgery or anything 🙄🤣 well done everyone 👏 brilliant effort 😃

I wouldn't be able to follow for more than 50 meters. 2:30 is absolutely full sprint pace for me.

So quick!

Try to imagine the difference between the 5k recod pace and the 10k record pace. Now, imagine the marathon record pace is 68 seconds per 400 meters! Truly insane.

"What pace were your running?" "My singing pace" "Oh, I see, good strategy" haha

Absolutely great video y'all!......Soo much fun to watch, interesting, and surprising!......Most did better than I thought, and suffice to say ......it makes me feel even better about my running progress at 57 years old.....lolol.....joking.....great effort by all....

This video physically hurt to watch. I felt it in my chest every time they started. I've never had sympathy pains watching a TRC video until today. Gads, that was painful.

"Bring the style, not the pace." 👊

My God 😮

Group Training focus today 3x 800m + 2x 200m. Me: trying not to die. I’m 54. Let’s see if I can even complete 3, first. Then add 98F degrees in California. 🥵😵‍💫. Actually hope it’s cancelled.

I did a 60 seconds lap more than 20 years ago, but that was not my main goal. Now I am not sure I could run a 15 seconds 100m.

I think I’ve only just realised that Rick and James are different people.

Standing starts though ?

“Incident detected!” LOL 😂😂😂

27.67s 200m is my PB (I've never tried since) in 8th grade and im not a runner

How about an attempt on the UK Women's Record Half Marathon Pace. Eilish McColgan's 1:05:43 That's 3:10 per km or 18.6 seconds per 100m Try it in a 5 by 100m relay format on the track. Pick your best 5. (or only 5 😉) The first person runs 100m then passes the baton to the next person the first person stops and waits at the 100m point. The second person runs 100 passes the baton to the third person then stops and waits at 200m. The third person runs 100 passes the baton to the fourth person then stops and waits at 300m. The fourth person runs 100 passes the baton to the fifth person then stops and waits at 400m. The fifth person runs 100 passes the baton back to the first person then stops and waits at the 100m point. Repeat until you fall off the pace at one of the kilometer points (Or keep going for a team half-marathon time). It is brutal interval training 18 second sprint 1:12 rest. Repeat for 1hr 5mins

While not the challenge - Sarah's lap of 1:20 was the average pace for the first 7 laps of the women's 10k last week at the World Championships, so she'd be able to stick in the field there!

Some close attempts there.... should have given them a rolling start rather than from standstill

It's really itching 'n 😆

I think Mos hairodynamincs is why he missed 400m time.

I think for the 100 it would be fair to have a moving start and cut out the acceleration for something like this.

Use spikes guys👍🏽

Why S-Log 3?

Just watching Sarah is good enough for me😂

its 2min31sec per kilometer, which is just shy of 24km per hour!! Some cant even bike that speed for 5km...lol.

I can run Sub 20 5K that’s my PB nowhere near the elites but maybe 🤔 one day!

How can any human run at that pace for 5km?

I don't think they should have to do a standing start...

Yoh Jess is faaaassssttt!!!!

Gotta run in spikes surely , would have saved some seconds

So all of you are good runners, way faster than me(i run 3x per week) and your equivalent 200m speed is 5K wr pace, just sums up how fast these athletes are

2:31/km is my 15 sec sprint. LMAO.

My sprint is a 4 min kilometre pace 😅😮

Please tell us about Jess.

Flying start needed...

3:52 6:57 9:11 13:26

Oh my god I was so close! Lol

You should have dratted with 100 m.

You should be using age-graded times for everyone to be fair.
