Since this video is taking off now, yes, I know I accidentally called Pavvo Nurmi Swedish lmao. This was my first genuine running docu, so there may be some small errors sprawled out. Apologies if people were annoyed.
-
I love how the the start of the video shows pictures of beefy dudes in suits and top hats and says they ran 4 minute miles
-
I’ve ran 2 sub 5 minute miles. So some of these records are just absolutely insane to me
-
i usually watch video game speedrunning videos, but real world speed running is surprisingly engaging, great work my dude
-
While hitchhiking through Europe in 1975, I made sure I got to the track where Bannister set the mile, and of course, I ran a mile (considerably slower).

How is this only at 3k views this is an actual masterpiece
-
The amount of research put into this video is amazing man!

I’m a 78 year old D-1 Track and Cross Country runner. I ran 4:15 Mile; 14:30 @ 3 miles; 49.5 @ 440…and a host of other NCAA level races and times…after watching this documentary, I realize how mediocre I was. I was enlightened by the chronological tracing of the world record. My love for the Sport will never be diminished. My appreciation for guys like Nurmi, Cunningham, Bannister, Ryan, Coe; Ovett et al will be forever an inspiration. Thank you for a marvelous job of research and presentation.

These videos inspire me to add more speed to my runs. Gotta practice for CC season hard.

Incredible documentary. Incredible topic as well. But most incredible is how underrated this channel is.
-
Massively underrated. This video was incredibly done
-
Fantastic documentary. Still remember being at Bislett watching the wr in 1980. A pity that you could not extend the documentary with the Ingebrigtsen/Nuguse Bowerman mile that was almost a repeat of the el guerrouj/ngeny world record run from 1999. I am really looking forward to 2024 Bislett Games when I hope a new chapter in this amazing story will be written.

This is truly a great video presentation. It's such a shame that you put so much effort in to this remarkable piece of work only to have people complain. I personally do not watch Youtube videos to be an armchair film critic. I watch them to be educated and entertained. In this case it was great to be reminded of the Coe/Ovette/Cram races. Keep up the good work. It was just amazing to see how far humans have come and how some performances are so great they can takes years to beat.
