I met the Guy once, kennenisa bekele, I went to half way build stadium once to just jog I am not an athlete and there he was training , I had no camera at the time for a selfie but I run about 10 k with him he must have run abour 15 k because he was lapping me multiple times and I shook his hand and left, a story I will tell for
That was in Ireland. Specifically it was in the phoenix park in Dublin. The event is still run but it's of a very small significance now. That was such a great run and the course itself is not straightforward. I've ran those roads so many times over the years, it's a really lovely place to run.
Both, live stream and Post analysis ! But if I had to pick one, live stream would be better! Thank you again The Runner for all your videos and analysis
Minute 2: it's not that they run in single file to "show respect" to Bekele. It's that they're hanging on for dear life just before dying :-) A minute later they were dropped.
I’m a great fan of Bekele in cross-country and 5K/10K road and track. Not a fan of him in halves and marathons. The reason he had a different form in this race was probably it was the right distance for him. Marathons are a thorough waste of time for him and probably a great killer of his middle-distance speed.
Kenenisa Bekele has some thing which makes me not to watch the result because 99 present for his career telling me who the potential winner would be, but the matter is his body movement especially his legs seems hit his butt and show me his entire foot.🎉
Good video and commentary - I would mention, however, that this race took place in the Phoenix Park in Dublin which, I can say from experience, is not a flat course at all and you can actually see that in the faces of the other elite athletes💚🇮🇪😉
So if u put a drag racing car next to a Lamborghini and the drag race car smokes the Lamborghini by a few 100m if doesn’t make the Lamborghini look slow
@@klipk7296 No, it's your perception that he is making other runners look slow, or if you prefer. a superficial observation. Got it.... ? Good, now get back to your colouring book.....
Nonsense. Bekele was a phenomenal runner at 18, when he was a poor countryside farmer boy, he didn't have the money for doping. After his rise to fame, he's been tested more than any other runner (simply brcause he's run - and won - more races than anyone else). His career has evolved in a total logical way, with ups and downs. He's not stupid enough to destroy his career today.by doping, and he's also not the only elite runner over 40 to still run strong (Tadesse Abraham - soon retiring - runs similar 40+ marathon times, and he's tested constantly by Swiss anti-doping authorities - it's doable without doping.
Du schreibst das ueber den besten cross country und Langdistanz Läufer aller Zeiten. Wäre er frueher zum Marathon hätte er auch hier die top zeit. Absurd so jemand mangelndes Training vorzuwerfen. Er hat ohne eine Arnee von Hasen eine 2.03.03 als pb. Sowas packst du nur mit enormer traningsdisziplin
@@listrahtes ne es gibt Ausnahmetalente die durch ihr raues Leben im Hochland Afrikas schon früh konditioniert werden. Bekele ist bekannt dafür sein Training manchmal schleifen zu lassen. Das weiß nun wirklich jeder der Ahnung hat!
@@obalaaa oh je gegen den Schmarrn ist ja Sport Bild das Ebenbild von Qualitätsjournalismus😂 Bekele hat zu Stadion und CC Zeiten brutal hart trainiert und daher seine Endgeschwindigkeit. Wechsel zu Marathon hat er es relaxter angehen lassen nach 15 Jahre. Training auf höchstem Niveau bis er dann auf Berlin wieder einen guten Trainingsplan durchgezogen hat. Bekele ist im Crosslauf der Goat und auf 5 und 10 000 ebenfalls in der Verlosung. Klassisches Internetgelaber
