Brilliant. That's my first time ever seeing that. Reminiscent of Rudisha's 800 Olympic win. Savage front running0 -
That's about my favorite running video, don't know why but I can just watch it over and over no problem!
Yeah me too, I don't know either. i think it's the total respect the other runners give him. Anyone of thousands could step out and ruin his race but it's like they jus recognise greatness.
Here's another often posted video. Get in the Mudlark!!0 -

Some nice videos there NE.
An interesting one on Lydiard and his stable of runners. Had never heard of Murray Halberg before watching this. An Olympic Gold medalist in the 5000m with essentially one functioning arm. The way he won it too. Very brave.
A nice Seb Coe documentary. Love the training on the road. His trainer in the car with a stopwatch and using the speedometer as a pace guide. Old School
...pity he had to go in to politics

Won in a fast time. 60th fastest time ever. Kipchoge has been below the radar of much of the media when the 3 faster than him over 5k ever are household names:
Bekele, Gebrselassie, Komen.

Kipchoge even had a brilliant dip for Christ sake. Had forgotten that race over the years.0 -

For The Weekend that's in it. Probably one of my favourite YouTube running vids of Steve Jones in the Chicago Marathon 1985 taking on the World Record and marathon like no one before him or since. He ran the first 5k in 14:16(2:00:34ish pace) already breaking away from the field and went through halfway in 61:46 when the World Record for the the half marathon was 60:55 and it was also more than 2 minutes faster than anyone else had gone through that split in a marathon. The battle for the WR would eventually come down to seconds...
The Women's Race also had the battle between the World Record Holder Ingrid Kristiansen and second fastest ever at the time, Joan Benoit-Samuelson(who on another note, was targetting to be the first woman over 60 to break 3 hours at tommorrows Chicago Marathon but had to pull out due to injury).0 -
For the weekend that's in it. Found this old gem of The National XC in UL back in 91. Some big names in there with the likes of Mark Carroll in the junior race, Catherina McKiernan and loads more.

European indoors are starting Friday so in the spirit of indoor championship races. Thought I'd throw up this gem from World Indoors in 1987 with Frank O'Mara and Paul Donovan racing.

Not a race video but I enjoyed this short one about a running up a hill in Spain
In 1981 my Dad ran up a mountain in the small Basque town of Elgoibar for a bet. Years later the record still stands and the famous run of El Inglés is now an annual event.
