Workout Wednesday: The Two Best 800m Runners In The World 

Being an 800 meter runner, I feel the lactic acid just by watching this

Is it just me or do they look like they are unfazed by this workout ... these times are beast mode for just a workout !!! A workout !!!

When they hit 400m @ 51 seconds on that 2nd set, I was like woahhhhh 😂😅. That’s next level right there

Dang they're beautiful to watch. Such a clean stride.

They just jogged my 400 pr😂

It's cool to have Paul Ereng, the 1988 800m Olympic champion as your coach.

Beautiful stride

Workout must’ve been easy for these guys. 56 and 54 is cruising for them

Watching the lead dude run sends shivers down my spine. Such a perfectly fluid stride and cadence!

What we can't see is how friggin hot it is there.. and to top it off, the sun is most likely hovering 50 feet above the track.

that's not David Rudisha

This is amazing. These times are very fast and they are easily running them back to back.

Their 800m pace is faster than my 100m pace...

That 51.8 looked so easy good lord!!

they literally just jogged a 26 second 200m...

Paul Ereng! Back in the day I had raced him and beat him in an indoor 800m. Nothing crazy, just 1:54. Later that year, he broke out then won the Olympics. The following season, one of my Kenyan teammates gave me a message from Paul. He said I would NEVER BEAT HIM AGAIN! TRUE THAT!! LOL! Keep training these studs Paul!

2:50 - queue perfect running sync

I SWEAR ITS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH

absolutely beautiful. looked easy. Paul Ereng was a stud in his day as well

There just jogging at a fast pace and hitting my time

David Rudisha looks different

Stride is mesmerizing

Every time I watch this workout, I am in awe, first-ever workout Wednesday I watched and still I am impressed

I don’t run track... I play another sport but as an athlete. Just have to appreciate how effortless and fast they run 1 lap like wtf. They look so smooth and quick without trying.

Amazing....their actions are so fluid !!

these guys are ROLLING

Very very strong!!! Thank you very much for this motivation. Greetings from Munich, by a Triathlet.

gold medal at Tokyo, paid off!

Beautiful stride and in sync??? I’m trying to be like them😍

Great to see a coaching session with the speeds/ rest periods and the session all laid out professionally. Well done to all involved. How did they run at the championships? How many times do they do a session like that in a season?

These guys are special my word

The fluidity is off the charts. Salute! Great job brothas!

Superb! Keep progressing

Practice makes a man Perfect ❤️👏🏻

Rep 3: *runs 51* not too fast was it? Emanuel: “ahhhh” 😂😂

You program is good it has done miracles for my students

I love this workout

Running very smoothly.

who is here one of them won gold at the olympics

I seen your All Video's Full best video

How do they have such a nice stide? Whenever I run I look like a fish flipping out of water, my legs kicking everywhere....

You have to be a dedicated son of a gun to develop that kind of work capacity. Many Africans come here to run, get an education, and run some more. We all have it in us to be great at something. How willing are we to work for it and how willing are we to be pushed, trained, and coached. El Paso does have a change of season but most days are sunny. Combine that with the altitude and you have a good place to train for 400 meters on up. The UTEP Campus is hilly along with that part of town so you can get hill work in. Once I went to an indoor meet in Albuquerque and D2 Adams State from Colorado is unbelievable as well. Great Running tradition as well

Interesting future for them. But damn, that track sounds so hard.. Listen when they slow down.

Love your workout

Very nice tips for Speed run

LOVED IT.

I'd be going all out racing tryna catch up with them, my PRs are 4:42, 2:01, and 0:54

Crazy how UTEP is STILL getting some elite Africans. My uncle ran there in the 80's.

The heat their really helps get you in shape. Just have to build up to it.

Soooo graceful.

Amazing form

The competition is probably Nigel Amos. Would love to see him and Korir dip into the 1.41 zone! (Yes I know Amos already has).

Good job guys

Paul Ereng....@0.09, UTEP Head Coach, was the Gold Medalist in 1988 Seoul Korea Summer Olympics in Men's 800m Meters , fyi💪👍

Amazing running form

They make it look like a walk in the park.

imagine WILLINGLY running the 800

bravo a tous

Emmanuel Korir is now the 6th fastest man in the 800 meter event EVER!!! He has run faster since this video. I am very excited to see what he will do in the future. His 400m personal best time is UNBELIEVABLE for a 800 meter man. If you don't believe me....look it up.

nice music, nice stride.

Congratulations warriors

The background music is great I love it

What’s scary is that there running slower than usual pace only by a couple seconds but still crazy what next level running is

Talk about a stacked team

They use to it,training at high levels they come like this

the longer the distance the more respect i have for them

Would like to see Saruni go up against Wycliffe Kinyamal

I hope I can run for them this year 😭

This workout really gave me a gage of how fast elite runners are 🤯

I was clickbaited!! These guys are not David rudisha and Nigel Amos

they are the best

Super

While in high school Paul Ereng designated a group or us as strictly “Grass Runners”. We were not fit for the track because he couldn’t tell whether we were running or standing😂

It looks so easy

I wish I could run like that, heck I''d settle for half that speed

Viendo los entrenamientos de este ídolo despues de correr en Tokio y coronarse campeón olímpico

Viva. El. Atletismo. 🥇🥇🥇🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Hello / Amazing runner They are special group ☆Train hard win easy☆

I’m speechless...workout was easy for them 😂

Since this was uploaded Korir has won an Olympic and world championship gold

Hey Utep Miners stadium! Got family that is alumni from there. To anyone that loves track and field. Especially the Masters events as well. I have a dilemma and need y'alls opinion. For the first time since 1998 I ran in a open track meet 60M Masters 30+ and won it a few weeks ago. Felt like I shut it down a little early due to. Well lack of training and play it again track spikes on. No excuses but I really feel like I couldve done better. My 9th and 10th grade boys are in track now. One is a sprinter and one is a thrower. After the HS season and Corona Virus complications Im going to have them experience AAU like I did in San Diego. Better late than never right? Long story longer. Now Im training for June 6, 2020 to run the 100M and 200M Masters 35-39 at 39 as of a few handful of days from now. My ULTIMATE life long goal is to run in the Penn Relays so next years bday present/bucket list to myself is to compete in the Masters 40+ 100. As a teen I wouldve cancel all appts and outdoor activites to watch it. I used to run AAU in California when Obea Moore was around and Monique Henderson. If you havent heard of them for any reason regardless of generation. Look them up both were top Men and Women competitors and I had the blessing of watching them in their youth. Incredible to watch. Well, I pulled my hamstring my Senior Year going in as Top Returner for "Western League" CIF in SDtrackmag. For the 100M, 200M, amd 400M. I actually still share the 100M record for my HS 10.8. If I had I stayed hydrated, got proper rest, and stretched that time wouldve been brought down a bit in my opinion. I wanted to document my training, times, splits, and change of diet to prepare for July. To show a timeline of this 38 almost 39 year old power over that hill and see whats on the other side. I'm actually starting day one this Saturday and will start documenting from the first minute. I was wondering if anyone thinks its a good You Tube Channel for myself called. "In 2021 and still 40 years young. The Masters plan of getting back into 100 meter shape. Penn Relays here I come" Please no harsh criticism I just think the bond my kids and I are having as they have been more exposed to electronics and what they want to do we will supoort them (10th grader did band for a while. I played football). I really dont mind giving advise to the younger kids because the J.O. in New Orleans was fun and I wish I couldve ran earlier than 8th grade. Got into lifting for a bit then I played USSSA softball for a good while and in the B & C Open competitive divisions. So luckily I wasnt in terrible shape but lost more steps than Id like to. Lmk what yall think? Thanks and God bless. For those interested Ill make the channel and add or update you. Hopefully Flotrack sees this and I appreciate all the great videos. Flo Jo was at a Poway relays meet when Obea ran the 400 Intermediate. I'll mever forget that day. 🙏🙌✌

Athletic grace and poetry in motion, however, they need to set up a canopy or sun shelter for these guys. They're all huddled against the side of the pole vault pit for relief.

What watch did the lead guy use at the first 400

If i had video earlier i would have had a medal

Crazy 🤪
