Kenya famous Kipjog broke the world record in the Berlin Marathon. The result was 2 hours, 1 minute and 09 seconds, which was half a minute faster than the world record he had maintained before (2 hours, 1 minute and 39 seconds).
Berlin is the blessing place of Kipjog. He participated 4 times here and won the championship three times. The last world record was also created here (2018).
At a temperature of about 13 degrees that day, Kipjog and other players advanced under the leadership of “rabbit” (leader) at high speed. It took 14 minutes and 14 seconds in the first 5 kilometers, and 10 kilometers. The 2018 world record was 38 seconds. At this time, only Adra and Beligo who could keep up with Kipjog. At 15 kilometers, it takes 42 minutes and 33 seconds. The average pace is 250, which is amazing. This rhythm can even be “broken 2” (running within 2 hours).
After 20 kilometers, the high pace made the “rabbits” look very difficult, leaving only Beligo and running Kipjog. In the first half, Kipjiger took 59 minutes and 51 seconds. This was the fastest half -time use in the history of marathon. Obviously, he came from this time to impact the world records. After 25 kilometers, Kipjog’s pace dropped to 30 kilometers. It took 1 hour to 25 minutes and 40 seconds.
When he rushed 40 kilometers, Kipjog’s broken world record has become a foregone conclusion. On the way, the Kenyan people never looked back at the opponent’s situation. He knew that no one could keep up with him. The commentary of the Berlin Marathon has been excited: “He is just flying!”
This time, I won the prize of 110,000 euros. In the post -match interview, he talked about two factor that he had succeeded: “The first is because I like to run, followed by my life. Running to my family and siblings brings food. “
Hobbies and two pursuits are the most simple and primitive pursuits, but they create a generation of long -distance running superstars.
In 1984, Kipjog was born in a poor village in western Kenya, and he has been running on the earth road here since he was a child. After graduating from middle school, he began to work and became a grandmother. Coach Patrick Sang discovered his talent and began to lead him. Coach Sang recalled: “I have never seen such a self-discipline and loved running, he can withstand any training.”
Before participating in the Berlin Marathon, Kipjog has been training in his hometown of Kenya. He runs about 30 kilometers a day and runs from 200 to 230 kilometers a week.
With his talent and enthusiasm, Kipjog finally stood out, with today’s achievements, but when he stood in front of you at 1 meter 67, he weighed 100 pounds, you can’t feel this as a superstar, because he always keeps maintaining Low -key and restrained character.
The world record is no longer the ultimate challenge for Kipjog. People are more concerned about whether human beings “break 2” feats will be completed by him.
Kipjog said: “Humans have no limits,” and he is also impacting the limit.
In 2019, in the special challenge of Vienna, Austria, Kipjog ran for 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. This is the first time in the history of the human marathon, which also shows the difficulty of “breaking 2”. Essence However, this result is not “countless”.
In order to succeed in the challenge of Kipjog, all the parts of this competition were prepared around “Breaking 2”. The track chose the Prate Park with a low altitude and straight altitude, and the green trees on both sides were shaded and the wind was reduced; in October, the climate in Vienna was good and the temperature was moderate.
Leading “rabbits” are all first -class runners, including the US long -distance running star Cherimo, Ethiopia’s emerging Barga, Switzerland’s European half -horse record holder Wandez, the US 1500 -meter Olympic champion, Senterovitz, Japan long -distance running Famous Village Shanyama and so on. They are divided into 6 groups, each time 5 people open in front to form a “V” shape, and two other people act as “tail wings” in the back. This is the result of laboratory research. The barrier, minimize wind resistance.
In addition, special bundle guidelines, special energy supply, and special custom running shoes are for Kipjog’s “Break 2” feat.
Because of these special conditions, this result is not recognized by the ICAC, and it also shows how difficult it is to “break 2” in normal competitions.
An interesting contrast is that taking 100 meters of running as an example, Bolt’s world record is 9 seconds 58, and according to the increase rate of 0.1%per 0.01 seconds. If humans want to break through the marathon two hours, it is equivalent to a hundred meters running in a hundred meters running. Reading 9 seconds 45. But after Bolt’s unique great god retired, the possibility of human shock 9 seconds 58 seemed to enter the low valley period.
Looking back on the changes in the best results of the marathon in the past 50 years, people have discovered that with this improvement trend, it takes 50 years to “break 2” in the formal competition! In 1908, Heins in the United States set a record of 2 hours, 55 minutes and 18 seconds at the London Olympics. In the 1950s, this result was increased to about 2 hours and 15 minutes. After that, human beings took 2 hours and 10 minutes, and it was only 10 years and 10 years, and until the Chicago Marathon in 1985, Jones ran 2 hours and 10 minutes (2 hours, 7 minutes and 13 seconds).
In 2008, human beings ran 2 hours and 4 minutes (Gabredraisier) for the first time, and ran 2 hours and 3 minutes (Kemito) in 2014, 2 hours, 1 minute and 39 seconds (Kipjog), 4Today, the pass (Kipjogg), which is close to 2 hours and 1 minute later.The more upward, the harder it is, the one minute and 09 seconds of the official game “Breaking 2”, I don’t know how long it will wait for humans to wait.According to Kipjog’s own point of view, he believes that the room for promotion of human beings is still very large: “I think humans can eventually run to 1 hour 59 minutes or 1 hour 58 minutes.”
Today, the 30 seconds of Kipjog’s promotion, let humans take another step towards the threshold of “Breaking 2”. Maybe there is still a long way to go away from “entering the door”, but this is constantly aggressive and stubborn.It will encourage the late generation of the generations.
Fast, higher and stronger, human beings have never stopped on the way to explore the limit and break through the limit.
