Workout Wednesday: Paul Chelimo & WCAP 10x800m At Altitude 

Lmao I think the required pace would be a shuffle for them at best

To be fair the times were pretty inconsistent, but it's hard to tell whether that's okay without more info on the workout...at the time of this workout, Chelimo was a 13:07 guy. Based on that, he should've been doing this type of workout averaging 2:07. However, the fact that they have hammer reps makes it harder to tell, and it's also difficult to know things like which reps are the hammer reps? Are all the hammer reps supposed to be the same? Are they supposed to be negative splitting every rep? All of this makes it impossible to make a general statement about their lack of consistency, without more knowledge. Either way, though, a very impressive workout!

100% agreed about people not realizing how damn impressive this training is. I dare any of these people to keep up with them for more than two reps max of these 800s (most of them would be winded after the first 400m).

@@dangahagan7645 uh it's at altitude, of course they're running slower it's because he ran the 13:07 at sea level, when you're at 7000 feet of elevation your times drop drastically, also it doesn't matter if you know what the hammer reps were they knew what they were

how much rest did they take between each 800m????

2 min rest

I was blown away by this work out before I knew it was at 7000 feet O_O

Gg

Parker Jones When the hart rate is up and you're motivated to be done equals dynamite💥.

TheRandomGamer 238 how old? I’m curious

Tyman Smart close enough

I noticed that my denotation of that is that this pain they feel when they run is temporary and it will eventually subside but if you quit it will last forever.

Kayode Molen lol u legit stole that quote from a speech ik it’s a year late but still

Actually, you need to go even faster then that. 2:16:48 per 800m. That would put you on pace for 1:59:59 for a Marathon. That's 68.24 per lap on a track. 2:50/km or 4:34/mile. Guys like Kipchoge, Bekele and Mo Farah probably have VO2 Max in the 90s to run at that sort of pace.

Kipchoge pretty much just ran 53x800m in 2:19 with 0 rest lol

David Sun only Kipchoge can do that. Please don’t put Mo Farah in the same category as Kipchoge when it comes to marathoning. It’s insulting.

@@omgiheartpie Yes and he did it on a relatively uneven surface.

HugRunner wow

I know

This is race pace at best for me idk how they do this, even at 7k feet of altitude

yo same, granted I haven't run an actual all out 800 in like a year and a half and I was in terrible shape at the time but still these splits are insane

2:50 my Pr

2:20,and I am 12 and a half years old

@Pitch.Electro1 I,ve been training for 1.5 years though it is also good

@Pitch.Electro1 I am from India where r u from?

@Pitch.Electro1 ok

@Pitch.Electro1 will u be my foreign freind

Diego Marroquin maybe working too hard like them isn’t really good

But damn your pr is very good

its okay i guess but still I cant really afford college so im probably going to have to rely on track and ill probably have to do these workouts in college

Diego Marroquin I run like 2:02-2:06 and I'm not an middle distance runner. But I can say that your workout is good, but maybe try to cut the rest down and work on more speed with 200s or split 800s (600m fast then 30s rest then a hard last 200m)

vide0gameCaster keep trying

Same my PB is 2:20

My PR went from a 2:17 to a 2:09

@@kyleo1991 still 2:16 here

Paul Chelimo, the lead runner, is better than Jim Ryan dude

Matt Barnes yes he did 8 x 800’s in sub 155 and fastest one his dad said was 1.47 all with one min break. I think Coe could have run 5,000m very well off that kind of training. Definitely sub 13.20

Ever heard of Pat Porter???From Colorado....(R.I.P. Paddy).

iRosati yea like you could do that

2 min rest

Hallo bhai me बताऊंगा

Whtsaap no de

that was the purpose....

Edgar Avila he didn’t say to bounce from running 2:05s to 2:15s every other rep. That’s ridiculous

fu liao yeah I was thinking the same thing they kinda just took each one as it’s own race, I was expecting the 10th one to be like 1:55 but it was one of the slower ones

fu liao it’s at 7000ft altitude

Yep it hurt when people at planet fitness look at me going only 11 mph 2:30 minute 3 times 5 minute rest thinking that very fast them doing 14 mph average 800 10 times much shorter rest

i do like 5x800 at 2:50-3 with 2:30 rest and im dead

2 min rest

Paul Chelimo and most of them are only 5'10-6 ft tall, They are skinny which makes them look taller than they are

2 minutes

thx for a anser bro...

Thats the point of the workout you start out a little slow like 70% and then you build up

Alan Lozoya my nigga it's a joke

Henry Chen bekele used to do reps of 1:53 w/ splits of 60-53, thats olympic fitness
