WORLD RECORD HISTORY || The Half-Marathon! 

UPDATE! Kibiwott Kandie broke the world record at the 2020 Valencia Half Marathon with a time of 57:32! Check out the race breakdown here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WOUpDDSvpzA.html

I’m fascinated by the fact that on several occasions, the half marathon record has been broken during a full marathon. That’s stunning and rather crazy!

'He only needed a 14:04 last 5km' - Yikes!

7:11 Moses Tanui had extra motivation to break one hour as the driver was threatening to run him over.

TRP. Many thanks again for this half Marathon expose. I'm blown away by the very high quality of your Productions. Thanks mate.

Every time a WR is set: “people thought this one would last for decades” Literally a month later: “but this was not the case when _______ set a new world record by a huge margin!”

Kamworor will do it himself soon and probably run something in the 57:40 range. This man has so much potential. My highlight is the 2018 World Half Marathon in Valencia (where this video’s beautiful thumbnail was taken), where he ran his last 5k in 13:01!!!! Yes, 13:01!!! I mean, let that sink in - THIRTEEN O ONE - what an absolute legend. The olympic 5000m record is just under 13 minutes (12:58) and Diamond league meetings rarely end up being faster than 13 minutes and Kamworor ran it in a half marathon!

I know that it doesn’t really seem to be your thing, and the history isn’t quite there as traditional track/road racing, but it would interesting to see you dabble into the ultra running scene. Like a progression of the 100-mile world record or something about Scott Jurek or another dominant athlete in different eras. Just a thought, but I love the current content regardless!

so much research has clearly been done for this video

Most underrated channel imo. Thanks for the great content🧡

Great job. I enjoyed this and sat through the adverts as a thank you.

When I started running, I thought a half Marathon is just that: Only half of a Marathon. But by now it is my favourite running discipline. I just love the combination of endurance and speed needed to succeed. Great Video and the perfect motivation to train for a fast half-marathon ❤

Love this channel! I love woodworking and running so much!!

Jakob Ingebrigtsen have said he think the half-marathon will become his best distance.

Very informative content. Thank you, sir! Keep it up!

i love trp so much thanks for the vids this is such an amazing sub culture

Can’t wait to see what kamworor can do in 2021

Hello. This is Fabio, from Brazil. The images at 8:29 of Paul Tergat are not from half marathon, but they are images of the most famous Brazilian street running race: São Silvestre, held in the last day of the year, which Paul Tergat is one of the greatest winners. It is a 15km race.

„But just ____ years later“

great video again, TRP. :)

Not first Not last But when trp uploads I click fast

Love this channel!!! ❤️❤️❤️

December 2020 and the top 4 finishers in the Valencia Half Marathon all ran under 58 minutes!!! There's no stopping the evolution of running!!

Love the video, great job!

So happy to see my town (Lisbon/Lisboa) 3 times with 3 world records on your video. Also in 2015 Mo Farah broke the European Record in Lisbon. Epic channel ;)

I love your analysis,u are so good

We are waiting for ahmed record:))

There is one man that I think can break 58:00. That is Kenenisa Bekele. Problem is I never saw him running the half marathon...

This is a good video, well done

A very nice compilation. For next time, I prefer if you made a video on Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia, especially the marathon he runs barefoot.

Great work on this one

Your vids are incredible !!!

Great videos, thx.

Bekele should motivate himself and demolish this WR.

Love your videos

Very interesting!

Your music choice is so good

Thanks!

What’s their resting heart rate? 1bpm???

Great video as always. Hard to believe that no one really kept track of half marathon records until the late '90s!

Recently did my first half in just 2:00:00 lol

I’m actually good mates with Steve. He has his own track around our local lake, lake Wendouree. He used to go to the same school as I do, and he has a school track named after him too!

His 5k splits have me questioning life

Perhaps one day Joshua Cheptegei, Rhonex Kipruto and obviously Geofrey Kamworor himself would break 58mins barier.

Amazing vídeos Can you make a vídeo about the difrent % WR improve women vs man? Thks and keep going the great work

Great videos! Try and check the weather conditions for the current World record! Is was blowing gale force winds in the Streets of copenhagen. This has had to make pacing a difficult task.

I still think Zersaney Tadese's world half marathon record is the most revolutionary and most impressive

5:42 what an epic nickname

I do a half in 1:09:36

10:00 haile gebreselassie ran first sub59 wow tadese ran the wr first

Tadese would have obliterated 58 mins in his prime in the Vaporflys. That we even have to have such a discussion is testament to how these shoes have ruined the concept of a world record.

Another great video. Spare a thought for American record holder Ryan Hall... almost 2 minutes behind Kam.

This pace is mind blowing

"Absolutely sensational...unbeatable...crazy fast time...all time greatest...on the same day...unbelievable...for only a year"

Seems like to run really fast in the marathon you need good speed endurance background From 1500m & 5K.

Still waiting for the history of 1k world record video :))

What is the music at 9:00? In fact, what is all of the music you use?! Would love to get it some how. Great video, as ever.

I would love to see Kipchoge train for a half marathon.. his mind focus during training has to be out of this world to be so consistently displaying mastery in the full marathon.. I bet if he put his mind and body through Half marathon training he would get close to the world record time or maybe who knows.. beat it..

Looks like the whole course (or most of it) is descending. Probably why it was so fast...I stand corrected

7:31 The car looks like its about to run him down from behind lol!

Wow! That was a fast video. 😉

I just want to hear someone say "Dude, you just ran thirteen miles in thirty minutes".

I heard about after running the Mickelson Half marathon a person who ran 58:00 in the Half Marathon at the time in 2009 but the race is point to point and downhill at 3% grade for 95% of the race with 3% of race not as steep and 1% steeper so disqualifying for a World record attempt due to not looping back to near starting area due to race changing . The guy was some Native North American person who set the record and looked like they were from Mexico or some of the Native southwestern tribes since those people look so similar.

You should do a video on the Portland intrasquad meet 2

Watching this and realized I don’t remember seeing a video on the 10,000 world record progression

Wow!

All these comments and nobody wishing Geoffrey Kamworor a safe and speedy recovery!!!! I wish him all the best and hope that he is back to top form soon, without pushing himself too hard to get there too fast.

Aye we got the og TRP music

I’m over here trying to break 1:15

That melanin tho!!!!

What is the music AT the end?

He was a record man of half maraton too.

The most real records from Mr. Half-marathon, Mr.Tadesse, without dope and carbon fiber sneakers.

if Vaporflys made wayback early 80-90s they we're flying

All of these runners are insane haha 2:44min/km is hard to do interval yet alone run full half marathon

no one: people with Kenyan ancestors: I cAn RuN vErY fAsT aS i HaVe GoOd GeNeTiCs All jokes love the vids

Tadese ❤

Yeet, kipchoge comes up and runs a 55:00

Sammy Wanjiru RIP what an athlete he would have been

Tadese 12:30 - was this the half where he put in 4:15 for one of the miles?

my half is 1:26:27

These guys threshold pace is so fast

I am watching this have recently broken my 2h to have now 1h 59min 38sec So these guys are done when I reach my 10km But I am more happy with my < 2h than with their 58min - most people cannot even run 10km straight ;-)

The thumbnail scares me

This makes me think what Sammy Wanjiru could have accomplished. How high do you think his ceiling was?

Joshua Cheptegei!

Butthurt that you didn’t talk about my guy Dionicio Céron the only Mexican to hold the HM WR and was the first person in the world to win the London Marathon Back to Back to Back :(

imma stick to bowling

Omg can I just say his smile in the cover is creepy

Talk about Justin Robinson

Kamwarror needs to judge his pace better 5K 13.51 10K 13.41 15K 13.31 20K 13.56 . He slowed down too much between 15 to 20K . Even splits he would have been able to close strong and definitely go below 58. 10 to 15K was too fast and killed his closing speed. Hopefully he will learn and do better next time.

Do the 100m world record history

Great video! I also make running videos

Ohoj. I see this video about the half marathon showing that it isn`t the shoe and its composition that counts in running (look at Bikilis shoe back in 60`ties) No it is how much the runner believe the shoe is helping him or her run faster. Ohoj Inga FROM Denmark.

The easier it looks, the harder it actually is.

Is just too bad that the anticipated London marathon where kipchoge and bekele will meet did not materialized

Abebe Bikila... Hmmm.. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

10:53 oops Pheonix.

9:32 Noah Lyles says hi 😅
