Sebastian did great! At a high school US meet around 54 seconds would win most boys events and he's right there with it.

To run at 57 second 400m pace, for over 400m, is really impressive.

I didn't even realise Keely was in the video until near the end, she wasn't actually introduced! A slight oversight

🥇Golden girl Keely!! Olympic Champion!!!

@luckyspurs 2 years ago

Having Keely right there would make you so nervous.

I absolutely hate treadmills. I can't run on them. The ground doesn't move at a constant rate when you run. It adjusts to you. Whereas on a treadmill you're always at the wrong pace because you are going too fast when you push off the foot and too slow when you land your foot. Not by much but it puts me right off.

Hurricane Hodgkinson is on fire!

Keely is superhuman and and Olympic Silver medalist too. 25.2km/h is insane. Her personal best is 1m 54 I believe just a second behind the current world record.

There was a woman that lasted 1 minute and 10 seconds, such a shame BBC didn’t show that.

Wishing Keely all the best. It’s gotta be Olympic gold this time, surely? 🇬🇧

Keely is already a legend. It's a great video. i like the comparisons between a random person and an elite athlete. The difference is just much

Not now but I’m 73. I did run 1:56.9 on cinders though.

Well, now at age 67, probably not, haha. I was a decent middle to long distance guy for a major University in the 70's with a 3:42 PR in the 1500, 13:47 in the 5000, yet my 800 PR was only 1:53 which she is quickly approaching. She is just amazing.
