In athletics, the 1000-meter race is common. This distance is not used in world-class championships, as it is average. The 1000 meter race is more applicable to various commercial events.
Conditions for 1 km races
Races of 1000 meters are usually held on two types of sites. The first type is an open stadium, the circumference of which is 400 meters. In this case, the distance is covered in 2.5 laps. The second type is indoor sports grounds, the circumference of which is most often 200 meters. On this type of playground, the distance consists of five laps.
The specifics of running largely depend on the type of site. If the area has a small circumference, then the athlete must be prepared for constant turns. In the case where the platform has a large circumference, the athlete has to run in a straight line for a long time, which requires special development of balance.
Conditions for the races
The race itself can be held in different types of venues: outdoor stadiums usually have a circumference of 400 m and the race is carried out in 2.5 laps; indoor sports grounds are usually designed for 200 m laps and usually require a race of 5 laps. The size of the circle affects the specifics of running: small circles require special development of balance, because if in a 400-meter circle an athlete runs in a straight line for a long time, then a 200-meter circle requires constant readiness to turn.

Technique for running 60 meters, how to learn to run fast
The standards for the race depend on the age of the athlete, his main occupation and the purpose for which the race is performed. Minimum conditions for MSMC: 2.18 minutes for men and 2.36 minutes for women. World commercial records go beyond these figures and represent even faster coverage of a kilometer distance.
Results in running over a distance of 1 km are achieved only through hard training. An athlete must prepare long and hard physically, technically and psychologically. The 1 km distance is the basic distance that many athletics development programs include. In fact, for athletes, such races are one of the stages of a larger and more serious training program. The 1000m is an intermediate distance that tests an athlete's current abilities, but is not used in the European, World and Olympic Championships.

Correct technique for completing the 2 km running standard
How to achieve outstanding results in 1 km running?
With the help of intensive training, of course, you can achieve significant results in running over a distance of 1 km. When preparing, the athlete must take into account the psychological, technical and physical aspects. To improve results, you need to master warm-up, training and breathing techniques. It is also important to make the right eyeliner just before the day of the competition.
The 1 km distance is considered basic, so it is included in many athlete development programs. It is a training course for those who are involved in professional running. Since the 1000-meter distance is an average distance, it is not used in world-class competitions. However, such a distance can indicate the athlete's current abilities. Analysts believe that if the kilometer distance was included in the program of the world championship, then David Rudisch would have a great chance of winning, because he showed the best time in the 800-meter race - 1.40 minutes.
World record for 1 km run
In 1974, American athlete Rick Wohlhueter showed an incredibly good result in the 1000 meters, which broke all records set before. The athlete covered a distance of 1 km in 2.13 minutes, thus setting a North American record, which, by the way, has not yet been broken. Joaquim Cruz almost equalized the score in 1984, running the same distance in 2.14 minutes.
Australian runners have the worst performance. Australian John Walker covered a distance of 1 km in 2.16 minutes in 1980. Asians have the best results. Bahraini representative Yusuf Saad Kamel ran the 1 km distance in 2.14 minutes.
The world record for running 1 km was set by Kenyan resident Noah Ngeni, who was able to cover the kilometer distance in 2.11 minutes. It was installed in 1999 at a competition that took place in Rieti. Thus, an absolute world record in athletics was set in the 1 km race, as well as an absolute African record.
An excerpt describing the 1000 meter run
“I have the honor to appear,” Prince Andrei repeated quite loudly, handing over the envelope. - Oh, from Vienna? Fine. After, after! Kutuzov went out with Bagration onto the porch. “Well, prince, goodbye,” he said to Bagration. - Christ is with you. I bless you for this great feat. Kutuzov's face suddenly softened, and tears appeared in his eyes. He pulled Bagration to him with his left hand, and with his right hand, on which there was a ring, apparently crossed him with a familiar gesture and offered him a plump cheek, instead of which Bagration kissed him on the neck. - Christ is with you! – Kutuzov repeated and walked up to the carriage. “Sit down with me,” he said to Bolkonsky. – Your Excellency, I would like to be useful here. Let me stay in the detachment of Prince Bagration. “Sit down,” said Kutuzov and, noticing that Bolkonsky was hesitating, “I need good officers myself, I need them myself.” They got into the carriage and drove in silence for several minutes. “There is still a lot ahead, there will be a lot of things,” he said with an senile expression of insight, as if he understood everything that was happening in Bolkonsky’s soul. “If one tenth of his detachment comes tomorrow, I will thank God,” added Kutuzov, as if speaking to himself. Prince Andrei looked at Kutuzov, and he involuntarily caught his eye, half an arshin away from him, the cleanly washed assemblies of the scar on Kutuzov’s temple, where the Izmail bullet pierced his head, and his leaking eye. “Yes, he has the right to talk so calmly about the death of these people!” thought Bolkonsky. “That’s why I ask you to send me to this detachment,” he said. Kutuzov did not answer. He seemed to have already forgotten what he had said and sat thoughtful. Five minutes later, smoothly rocking on the soft springs of the stroller, Kutuzov turned to Prince Andrei. There was no trace of excitement on his face. With subtle mockery, he asked Prince Andrei about the details of his meeting with the emperor, about the reviews he had heard at court about the Kremlin affair, and about some common women he knew. Kutuzov, through his spy, received news on November 1 that put the army he commanded in an almost hopeless situation. The scout reported that the French in huge numbers, having crossed the Vienna bridge, headed towards Kutuzov’s route of communication with the troops coming from Russia. If Kutuzov had decided to stay in Krems, then Napoleon’s army of one and a half thousand would have cut him off from all communications, surrounded his exhausted army of forty thousand, and he would have been in Mack’s position near Ulm. If Kutuzov had decided to leave the road that led to communications with troops from Russia, then he had to enter without a road into the unknown regions of the Bohemian Mountains, defending himself from superior enemy forces, and abandon all hope of communication with Buxhoeveden. If Kutuzov had decided to retreat along the road from Krems to Olmutz to join forces with troops from Russia, then he risked being warned on this road by the French who had crossed the bridge in Vienna, and thus being forced to accept battle on the march, with all the burdens and convoys, and dealing with an enemy three times his size and surrounding him on both sides.
World record for 2 km running
The 2000 meters distance has never been featured at the World Championships or Olympic Games. This distance is often used by professional athletes as training in preparation for more serious competitions. Often a distance of 2 km is included in the program of commercial championships. The race is held on open sports grounds. To run a distance of 2 km, you need to do five laps of 400 meters. At such competitions, ranks no higher than || are assigned.
Official records at a distance of 2 km:
- Men's race. At the competition in Berlin, which was held in 1999, the Moroccan athlete Hichamou El Guerroujo set a record of 4 minutes and 44.79 seconds.
- Women's race. At the competition in Edinburgh, which was held in 1994, Irish athlete Sonia O'Sullivan set a record of 5 minutes and 25.36 seconds.
World records - 5 km, European - 1500 m, African - 1000 m. What happened in Monaco 2020?
Great real athletics returned with festive fireworks - Diamond League 2020 in Monaco,
5000 world record - multiple world champion Joshua Cheptegei beats the great Ken Bekele's record of 12:35.36!!! Bekele's record has stood since 2004, 12:37.35.
Fantastically smooth running schedule with minimal help from pacemakers: 400 m, after the first 200 m - 60.70, 61.70, 60.64, 60.41, 61.25, 60.91, 60.03, 60.10, 60.18, 60.33, 59.97 and 59.64.
Full video of the record run,
19-year-old three-time adult European champion Jacob Ingebrigtzen set the adult European record for 1500m - 3:28.68!!! Jacob broke Mo Farah's record. World champion Cheruiyot barely beat the 19-year-old - 3:28.45. Third place, Jack Whiteman - 3:29.47, faster than the great Coe, Ovett and Creme.
Women's 1000 m race, only 17 hundredths were short of the world record of Svetlana Masterkova, Olympic champion in the 1500 m race Face Kipyegon - 2:29.15 vs 2:28.98. This is an African record. Laura Muir set a British record of 2:30.82.
The women's 100m was won by the rising star of the European sprint, Swiss Aila Del Ponte - 11.16
Women's 5000m - 2022 world champion Helen Obiri's fastest time of 14:22.12, second fastest time ever for Britain's Laura Weightman - 14:35.44 and Oceania record Jessica Hull's 14:43.80
Excellent men's 800, victory for world champion Donovan Brazier and a ton of personal records
And another 6 meters in the pole of Mondo Duplantis and victory in the women's height of the Ukrainian Yaroslava Maguchikh - 1.98.
What happened in Monaco? Why such a salute of records at the first big start of the “incredible” 2022 track and field season?
There are several factors.
First, this is still the Olympic season and long-term planning was reaching a multi-year peak in August 2022.
Second, the cancellation of starts allowed for an unprecedentedly long preparatory and thorough pre-competition preparation period. Pros are now forced to compete from May to September, make intermediate peaks at qualifying competitions, etc. Now everyone has invested in August and September.
Third, quarantine forced everyone to limit their activities outside of sports as much as possible. Minimum travel, maximum focus on sports. As Dutch coach Cheptegya said: “I don’t think I will ever be able to be with Joshua for 4 months straight while he sits in one place and devotes all his time to running and recovery. He usually drives his car all the time.”
Fourth, a new generation of studs with built-in carbon plates. And this applies not only to Nike athletes, but also to New Balance runners. They also have super spikes with a very high energy return rate. And Puma has also released new models for the sprint of the highest quality.
Jack Whiteman - New Balance,
Isla Del Ponte - Puma.
It is very difficult to assess the increase due to technological (permitted) doping. But there certainly is, and Cheptegei certainly wouldn’t have broken Bekele’s record without the help of the latest spikes, I’m sure.
Another interesting point: quarantine has proven once again how little is actually needed for running training, even at the highest level. Cheptegei had been training on a circuit of about 400 meters at his site for almost a month when strict quarantine was introduced in Uganda. And then I did almost all the quick work on an uneven dirt school stadium 415 meters long, and even with a difference of 2 meters on each lap. Joshua managed to do only a couple of works at the only stadium with a modern surface in Uganda.
And the Ingebrigtzen brothers spent the whole winter in Norway, training on treadmills, without alpine training - just like everything they had in the beginning. And only in the last couple of weeks we managed to escape to our beloved St. Moritz.
The same applies to the British and British women, only without the treadmill.
We are waiting for new starts;
Running and health to everyone!
Coaches' opinion
Trainers advise professional athletes to use 1 km running as training. World running records are set by athletes who clearly understand the basics of running. To prepare for long- and medium-distance events, athletes improve their endurance and speed over shorter distances. The coaches believe that tactical thinking and self-confidence are important in order to break the world record for 1 km running. Running is not an easy thing. It is important not to try to overtake everyone, but to stick to the plan to achieve your goal. You need to understand that accelerating at the start will waste a lot of your energy, the presence of which plays an important role when approaching the finish line. It is important to know where to apply “acceleration”, since it often plays a decisive role.
