When mentioning the world running record, it is difficult to name any one name, since all achievements are counted at different distances and are divided according to gender.
As you know, you can run for short and long distances. The point is not only in distance, but in the greater predisposition, endurance and fitness of the athlete. Someone is better able to show explosive speed on small races, while others will be able to withstand many kilometers of marathon races. Also, endurance and physical performance in men and women differ. It would not be fair to put them on the same starting line, so the competitions for men and women are held separately.
The winner can hold the palm for an indefinite period, until others overtake him. Moreover, he himself can beat his own outstanding result if at the next competitions he shows the best result from regular training.
The most famous world record in the men's 100m is held by Usain Bolt. He has repeatedly shown results beyond the reach of other runners. By the way, he also owns the world record for the speed of a person's running. During the period of maximum acceleration, it reached 44.71 km / h! If a person were able to run and not get tired, then Bolt would have overcome 1000 meters in about one and a half minutes.
The 3000 meter race is not as spectacular as the sprint, but is mainly held as a summing up of the intermediate results and preparation for the championships. But this distance also has its champions. The world record in the men's 3 km race belongs to the track and field athlete from Kenya Daniel Komen. He was able to cover this distance in 7 minutes and 20.67 seconds.
Only very enduring athletes can endure marathons. To get closer to them, use an endurance running training program in your technique.
