How Long Can YouTubers Run at Kipchoge’s Marathon Pace? - Summary

Summary

The video discusses Eliud Kipchoge, widely considered the greatest marathon runner of all time, who holds the current world record with a marathon time of 2:01:09. The narrator tries to run at Kipchoge's marathon pace (2:50 per kilometer) on a treadmill, but only manages 630 meters.

The narrator then invites other YouTubers to try running at the same pace, with varying results. Ben Black manages 4 minutes and 3 seconds, while Harry only lasts 2 minutes and 29 seconds.

The challenge is then moved to MarchOn, a gym with a curved treadmill that is twice as hard as a normal treadmill. Elite athletes from the gym attempt the challenge, with Charlie MarchOn setting a new record of 2 minutes and 25 seconds, doubled to 4 minutes and 50 seconds.

However, Ollie MarchOn beats this record with a time of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, doubled to 5 minutes, making him the winner of the challenge.
