On August 26th, 2005, Kenenisa Bekele ran a 26:17 for the 10,000 meters. This time broke his previous world record by 3 seconds, and to this day, this achievement has stood as the World Record for almost 15 years.

This single performance is perhaps the most impressive 10,000 meter moment in history, but what made it possible? Was it his training? Was it the energy from the crowd? Was it the perfect pacing from his younger brother Tariku? Or was it a combination of all of these factors combining into the perfect racing moment?

In this video, we're taking a deep dive into the fastest 10k ever run, and we'll see exactly what made this world record possible.

Thanks for watching!
